Been thinking a bit about this whole trader debate, and I actually think its going to be a loss to the community if some of the smaller traders on here cant inform people of goods they have for sale.

So for example, Si B, with the excellent plenums that he knocks out at a pretty reasonable charge, or garage19 with his flocked dashes or moose130 with his replica splitters, could there be a system where they pay for just a short term advert now and then, as 200 quid a year + VAT is probably not a viable option for people doing things more or less as a hobby, where as for someone who is constantly trading 200 quid a year is a positive bargain.

I just think its going to be a shame if this site ends up squeezing out the really good base of small traders we have who offer a great set of products to us as a community at good prices and with great customer service, but who dont make enough money to justify weighing out 235 quid a year just to be allowed to mention it?

Is there the possibility of some middle ground here?
