No longer a Passion Ford Trader

No longer a Passion Ford Trader
Just you let you all know I am no longer an offical Passion Ford Trader,due to the costs of the adverts set down by the new owners and a few other reasons of my own,
I would like to thank Stu for the hard work he put into this site in the early days as I have been supporting this site from the begining but sometimes things come to and end
obviously I will be carrying on using this site as a gold member and a moderator
also a big thanks to the support from my friends and customers which I have made through this site
Iam not closing the door on this site just stepping back and see how things go
Iam off on holiday now for a well earned rest

Sorry for the slight post hijack......
To save me starting a separate post, I'm not a trader any more either.
We are of course still in business, but chose for now to not renew our Trade pack.
Again, echoing the above, this isn't a reflection on the way Stu is running the site, it is better than ever in almost every respect, but sadly we just cannot justify the outlay since we are rammed with almost 5 weeks worth of work right now from the 200sx and Evo market!
Thanks!

PassionFord Post Whore!!
If the traders aren't funding the running costs of this forum who will though? It'll either be us or it'll be forced to close. I can't see IB running it at a loss.

Out of interest, is there a way of knowing how many traders have re-newed at the double price and how many have chosen not too.
Would be interesting to see the figures to see if the decision was a good business move or not thats all.

Its ok for the old school users knowing who to use on here but not a lot of good for people that either don't come on here often or have recently joined IMO

I dont think this site will fail without the traders paying the fees , as said the new owners arnt bothered about us little people there after the big hitters in the adds below .
Having said that , it wont harm having some well known traders on here , and as Tesco says , " every little helps "

Got to say I get bored most of the time looking at this site now as the threads are mostly about bollocks and fook creating a thread if your not one of the popular peeps as it won't get read!

Fair enough !!! Was going to say you give the impression you make Ł400 (at least) a day profit hence I was surprised!!!

I wish i did make 400 a day , i dont make that in most weeks
Due to Ebay , etc this game isnt anywhere near what it was , sadly

just a thought but have none of the ex-traders thought of advertising with google?
you could run a targetted ad campaign with adwords and appear in the advert below on a pay per click basis.

My input into this thread was not intended as an attack on PF. We have a good 5 weeks worth of work booked, of which not even 5% is Ford. We are paid up Traders on the SXOC and MLR, for which we see a significant return and a good prospect from the point-of-view of good quality work too.

why pay when you cabn advertsie for free like most other people,you only have to look in the pasrt section the classic line
"Iam adverterising for a mate with no net access"
seems to crop up more end more and becomes a game to see whar rules they can break and for how long for
I just feel I need a brake for a while and see how the site runs

Another classic is posts where people ask what something is worth and try and cover it up by putting 'this is not a for sale post'. LOL.

Pete, wind it in. That stuff belongs to ME. Not APT.
So, you're saying that because I was a Trader I now can't advertise ANYTHING for sale as it might be a sneaky ad for APT?
I personally own those injectors, along with 2 Newman Cam Kits, a 30psi Boost Gauge and a whole lot of other bits I am taking off my RST at the moment.
