I'm not trying to cut in on the other bigger call makers profits, I just like to make them and show them off but if someone wants to buy one that's even better. It's hard for me to justify sending a 100 dollars to have my name up above the page in little tiny letters saying i'm a "sponsor". What does the money or the duck call of equal value go towards as far as the site goes? I'm not a regular poster on here, just post a few pics from time to time, to see how everybody likes'm. I'm not trying to stir up anything yall, just curious.
Here's the deal. I'm working on the little tiny letters deal. You're also allowed to put your contact info in your signature as a sponsor. The guys that are sponsors in the calling forum are not big time guys. One doesn't even sell his calls. Another guy just got started last year selling a few. Brian @ Dixieland is not raking in big money. Echo and Doc are listed because they have been a part of the msducks.com duck calls that have been done in recent past. I have no problem with you showing them off. However, I would be willing to bet that people are trying to buy calls from you via pm. It's not fair to hold others to a certain standard and allow someone else to do something in the background. All Micah asks for is $100/year or have a call sent to him as a sponsor payment. Micah has a received a call from each sponsor plus I just mailed him $350 for the sponsor calls that were sold recently. The money helps keep the lights on in this place. Micah has to pay monthly site fees, bandwith fees for usage, plus maintain his own server. All call sponsors have the option of selling their calls in the forum. They don't even have to use the classifieds. It's just part of the deal.
