Hello John D.,
I think a reasonably priced membership fee due on a yearly basis is more than reasonable.
For $ 45/mo. the NAPCA gives you a monthly AutoMag newletter in the mail. Cannot compare to the unlimited access afforded members on the Luger Forum. You could and should certainly charge more than this...
And as the Membership continues to grow, there might be a chance to have yearly renewal fees reduced somewhat, due to the volume of the growing membership...as long as your costs are met.
You set the price and I am sure many will pay. Maybe allow new members a month-long free trial and then they need to decide to pay the dues.
You might also need to decide if all members pay on the same month each year or if you want folks paying on their anniversery dates...
I will be the first to send in my yearly dues !!! Just say when...how much...and where...
Regards,
Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
