22 bucks a month for total access. what is it now?

[jaredhuizenga]

I think it's $279 for a 12-month subscription right now. So, what, about $23 a month?

To lock you in for a poor performing site.

I love this site/online community too !!!! I will still continue to post & be part of the online community because there are a lot of great people, collections, & knowledge on here.....but I just won't bring myself to pay for something that never works properly.....unless Beckett offers refunds when the ORG goes down, glitches, malfunctions, etc like it has/does in the past.....I don't think it's moral or ethical business practice to charge people full price for something that only works part of the time.....

AMEN !!! I second that motion. Perfect example is now. The Organize is DOWN !!!

Well I just now got the first email I have gotten from beckett telling me they were going to delete my org. Here it is...........so if you are using the free "trial" org you aren't allowed to trade. When I was a young boy my friend thought it would be funny if I fed his dog (a doberman) not realizing his dog was mean I went up to him and he latched onto my hand and I had a hole that went through my hand. I never touched that dog again. To this day I have a scar in the shape of a smiley face to remind me if a dog wants to bite the hand that feeds it, stop feeding it. What on earth is so new and enhanced about something that has been essentially the same (broken) with little to no change for 4+ years now?

It was entitled...............
New Enhanced ORGANIZE System

Dear Subscriber,

This is to notify you that we have recently restructured the Organize/Trade software system to better serve all of our users. We will be removing the Organize inventory of all unpaid users, irrespective of the number of cards they have in their inventory to prevent overloading of the server. We have introduced a new subscription model for your convenience, please enroll and seek the benefits now.


Our New Subscription Model
• ORGANIZE 1 Month - $4.00
• ORGANIZE 12 Month - $40.00

We are currently restructuring the ORGANIZE system and you will be seeing a few changes:
• Access to ORGANIZE/TRADE will be disabled for all the existing free users
• Free trial is valid for 30 days (applicable only for new subscribers)
• The Free Inventory listing limit has been reduced from 2000 to 500 (applicable only for new subscribers)
• TRADE access for Free/Trial ORGANIZE users will be disabled

As always, let us continue to organize your collection and make available the best card trading tool in the industry!

Sincerely Yours,
Team Beckett

And I think my decision to work on moving everything over to Zistle has been cemented.

I created an account there just in case but haven't checked it out yet. Is it just like here, can you trade on it, is it free? Its sad to say but I just can't see myself paying this much for price guides anymore just to access a site with declining traffic and the BVs aren't used on any other site I am on anymore. And paying $40 for the org rubs me the wrong way for something that was actually around 15+ years ago for free.

so does this mean if for one month we decide not to pay or forget to pay or something we lose are whole org. that kinda sucks as I go through lapses were sometimes I don't want to use this site just don't have time but don't want to lose my org. Now I have to pay every month for something I may not even use every month.

Yes. That would appear to be the case. And the free 500 organizer only applies to new members.

They haven't stated that clearly. My guess is that they are going to do a one-time purge right now and not monthly purges going forward. However that is only an assumption, and those are never good especially when it comes to this website.
