RE: MCG's Bid Mopar Site

[snappy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We have a similar site in Australia called Mopar market.
(www.moparmarket.com) 
 
It's a great site that has been used religiously by Aussies over the years,
but still cant compete with eBay. Love it or hate it eBay is here to stay
(with all its warts).

and peanuts!

Actually membership is part of the Elite Subscription package which is 
an extra $10 a year. It includes some other perks too, one of which is 
getting my magazine in a plastic wrapper, that alone was worth the $10 
to me. If you look at the history of MCG it was started as an 
alternitive to Hemmings just for Mopar items. It's taken years but I 
think we can all see the success of MCG. Rob Wolf has started Bid Mopar 
as an alternitive to Ebay again just for Mopar items and I'm sure it 
will take years to catch on too. If you look at the fees that ebay 
charges for listing and selling I think you'll agree that $10 a year is 
a real bargin.
