ORG getting deleted if you don't pay
ORG getting deleted if you don't pay
I just got an email letting me know that all items in my ORG were going to be deleted as part of a change to "enhance" the ORG system. The email also stated that ORG would be charging more in the future (most likely a monthly fee is my guess). The annoying part is that my TOTAL ACCESS recently expired, and I didn't mind as I am in the process of moving and I wasn't planning on renewing until after I settle into my new place and am ready to start trading again (most likely around the end of the summer). Now I am being forced to pay for something or lose everything that I spent lots of time adding to my ORG. I am a little aggravated by this, and I doubt that I am the only one (especially since Beckett not too long ago increased the amount of items you could have in your ORG to 2,000 without having to pay). This definitely feels like a bait and switch (in the sense that they were able to get people to add a lot for free, and then a few months later tell them that if they don't pay they will lose all the time they spent adding cards and folders to their ORG). Best of all they are giving just a few days notice, so I am sure some people will not even realize this is happening before it's too late and they lose their ORG. Below is the exact email I received.
This is to notify you that Beckett is currently restructuring the Organize/Trade software system to better serve all of our users. With our growing traffic and user base, to prevent overloading of the server, we will be deleting Organize inventory of all unpaid users and creating a new subscription model for Organize/Trade. In the near future the new Organize subscription rate will be revised, but you have the opportunity right now to continue using Organize at the current lower price level.
To safeguard your existing Organize data and continue using the trade tool, you may either subscribe to the Online Price Guide or the Organize software tool on or before May 26, 2014.
As always, let us continue to organize your collection and make available the best card trading tool in the industry!
Sincerely Yours,
Team Beckett
