I remember a few vendors getting harassed a while back for 'outrageous" prices that they had posted for sale items, perhaps thats why they keep it quiet?

Thats the biggest difference and the greatest reason why you shoudl just accept two tiered standards...

I would be thrilled to see not only the vendors but the classified's split into local only vs willing/able to ship.

I don't understand why we have sponsors that are essentially local shops, just advertise to your local club's then, why put it on a national forum if you have no desire to do business with the vast majority of the membership.

For those of us that live in places with no LFS the vendor's list's and classified's on forums is our only way to get things. It is so depressing to go through dozens of ad's and not even have access to any of it.

At any price.

Remember

Vendors pay to be on Canreef only because they profit from it.

We typically lose money anytime we sell on Canreef, vendors don't.

If all the members had to pay to join there would be a drastic decline in membership followed by a drastic decline in vendors and the end of Canreef.

Canadian Tire pays to send me a flyer with prices on it because they want my business, it's no different for vendors on Canreef. The vendors all post prices in their stores that are not special deals to certain people so I have to agree, why not here? To be honest it turns me off from going to these stores in general because other retailers that don't advertise prices do so to get you talking to a salesman to try and oversell (rip you off) on something.
