Why cant anyone sell anything on here that is rocketry related? If its homemade, so what? If it is mass produced, so what? If there is a person who wants to buy it all the power to the seller and the buyer.
Now if someone is selling their car here or their house I can see that it would not be allowed.
because if someone is making money here as a business, the owners want their cut.
So the owners of the forum get a small percentage of the sales if a vendor is selling stuff?? Vendor dont usually sell stuff here, do they? They have their websites. Similar to ebay? I would think they would stay away from selling stuff on here because if they have to pay a fee why not just sell their stuff on their own website. I am sure websites are already expensive, why add to the cost by selling here and having to give a cut to the owners.
It is purely an advertising fee. $25 per month regardless of sales or company size, so I pay the same that the big boys (to the extent any rocket vendor is a big boy) do.
That said, I appreciate the leeway that was granted me by the mods when I was trying to make a go/no-go decision on going legit. In the end TRF will probably make more money because I am now paying the fee than if I was run out if the yard sale at first appearance with my product prototypes as I would have probably never formally opened for business.
Keep up the effort Alex, and keep improving your process, and you will hit a point that justifies paying the freight to go legit.
Got my 38mm tube today and was really impressed with the workmanship. My plan is to leave the CF unpainted, and to paint the fin can and nose cone flat black. Any suggestions about sanding or finishing the CF for it's best "natural" appearance?
