Default Coke vs Coke Classic

I have been a member for around a year. I have spent a fair amount of money buying and selling on this site. In my opinion, the old Market place was the most professional around.

It is a possibility that the site owners are having a difficult time monetizing the site and wanted to reduce support costs. If that is the case, maybe they should charge a yearly fee of $25 to members. A person spending $3000 on a model is not going to be phased by a $25 fee. Maybe the site owners faced legal exposure and wanted to reduce their involvement in the transactions. It is difficult to determine the issues since there does not seem to be good communication from the site managers.

This change does remind me of Coke and Coke Classic fiasco. Wanting to be more like Pepsi, Coke reformulated about 30 years ago causing a big backlash. The upheaval was so great that the New Coke Classic was re-introduced.

RCU, go back to the old market place!!!!!
