Yeah, you gotta think of it this way: If you were paying some high fee for a support forum for the products you were trying to sell (and making your sole living this way), would you want people indirectly taking business away by selling their own stuff?

Also, some sales tend to go sour and then you have bickering between members, which detracts from the experience here. Not to mention some people may hold Mike responsible since the sale did originate at his site.

Remember, this is technically a "support forum", but over time, it became a hang-out as well.

I've talked to Mike a few times about this subject, and believe me, Mike isn't really keen on the for-sale system, even as it currently stands. I think we're lucky to have it at all to be honest.
