Can someone tell me what is going on in English and not Greek. Am I being forced to pay for something if I stay out side of my yearly cost of 100+ org.? And if I am what is and why are they doing this...do they not want people to use the service.
With all the poop that is going on I am thinking about not collecting anymore and selling everything off. I like the site, it got me back into collecting, now the people that make their living from cards wants us to stop trading...isn't that the point of trading cards. I am paying them for the services now why do I need to pay for anything else.
Confused and need help? HELP!
I will vote on your poll, if I figure everything out. Thanks and good luck
I think the bottom line is that if you pay for an OPG of either a single sport or Total Access, you have unlimited ORG and full use of trade function. You can also pay a fee for just the ORG on a monthly or yearly basis which I believe will also get you the trade function. You can use ORG for free with under 500 cards but no access to trade.
If you are not a paying customer you have no access to trade or ORG (if over 500 cards).
Problem is with people whose subscription has expired and have been locked out of ORG and Trade function and ultimately will have their ORG deleted.

RE: POLL: SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO NOW
I'm staying for now and will decide what to do in the future once I see how many folks are left. I've checked out the other sites and they're just not for me. In my opinion the trade and org are relatively easy to use. I'll pay the monthly 1 sport fee and hope more folks stick around than not.

RE: POLL: SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO NOW
I renewed for another year back in March, so I'm staying. I trade some on another site, but whenever I do I have a tab open with Beckett up so I can have my org to see if I have any of the cards someone is looking for. You need to know what cards you have available to trade. People use different forms of spreadsheets, I use the Beckett org. While I disagree with their tactics and their apparent lack of customer service, in my opinion Beckett offers the best org tool and trade feature available in our hobby

BUT the price of an org-only subscription (which I currently have) is going to double, correct?

Yes. It isn't going to double, it already has doubled. So when you renew its going to cost you twice what it did before.
If you have less than 20 feedback you're sending first.

RE: POLL: SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO NOW
I'm staying. I pay my $9.00 each month for my baseball opg and my org is free, so I see no reason to go anywhere. I do have a question. If someone pays for the organize but not an opg, do they see any prices? If not then what good is it unless you you intend to make zero trades? It just seems to me they go together.

There are so many prices not listed in the physical magazine because of space limitations.

RE: POLL: SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO NOW
I personally like the org, and the opg. I don't buy it every month, but it's nice to get values on cards ur not sure about. If they raise it pass 9 dollars I doubt I will get it. When I want to trade tho, I just buy a opg, since the org is free with it. I don't see how they upgraded the org, seems the same to me.
