I want a kickback on the notes fees generated by any books I have submitted in the past or the future. If my books are cause for note creation I should be entitled to a piece of the revenue from those notes.

Increased submission fees coupled w/ decreased realized prices led me to forgo submitting my measly annual 100 book submission. $5 for a scan, whatever they're charging for graders notes are two outrageous fees i'll never pay. love the boards tho. Duly noted. Effective immediately, all board members must either be a Premium Member of the Collectors Society or provide billing information. Posts will be free for Premium Members and $0.12/post for non-members.

Make things easier for your customers and they will come back for more! The problem is nobody is going anywhere. They are the only (legitimate) game in town. Exactly. The only thing the slow down has done for me, is get me to pay the fast track upcharge on anything that is not going to be locked up in my long term collection. More bread for CGC.  I'm seriously wondering if paying the extra for FT on a large (several hundred) VT submission would be worth it if I can get it back in 4-6 weeks, as opposed to the likely 5 month wait if I don't. Multiple that decision by just a couple of dozen folks, and not only do you have a huge uptick in revenue if you're CGC, but all those poor suckers waiting on regular VTs might now be waiting 6-7 months as CGC scrambles to keep up with the Fast Tracks. From the vantage point of someone who worships at the alter of Capitalism, its pure genius. Monopoly at its unadulterated finest. Pay those FT fees boys, otherwise its a long and sorry wait that ain't gonna get any better. This is such a tiny market, that it's actually conceivable that customers can work together and, speaking with their wallets, get CGC to really address their turnaround times, something that would, in the long run, get everyone their books quicker, and for less. What you've outlined is the complete opposite of that. Yeah but if the bulk of their business is adjusting and moving to Fast Track and still making money, what change is a group of people that may only amount to a small percentage of their business going to affect? That's my point. The sum total of their business is a small market. We're not talking about boycotting the iPhone here. Bit of a prisoner's dilemma though. While submitters as a group might be motivated to organize some sort of protest, think of the incentive for the individual seller to break ranks and still submit. Not only would the turnaround times drop like a stone during that period, there would be fewer books to contend with on resale. CGC would have to put the screws to the dealer population a LOT harder to get that sort of organized action to happen and stick.
I'm inclined to agree.

A discount should be applied to your membership fees based on the number of notes your books generate. More complicated always means smarter.
 Uh, no. However, we have decided that, effectively immediately, CGC will now reward board member for thoughtful and helpful posts. Any such credit shall be applied as credit against the balance owed for posts as cited above. To date, we have not found any such contributions. But, rest assured, we are ever vigilant in our search.
