I don't know about the rest of Australia or other Quokka distributed countries, but I emailed in an ad last friday morning to Quokka Western Australia (WA) to list a grille in the quokka that had been sitting around the garage for a few months, this morning I received a call from the Quokka lady saying they are now charging $12.95 for any commercial type ad.
First impression was like I was having a heart attack or some kind of shock, where for a moment everything went still around me until the voice on the other end of the phone broke the silence, "do you still want to place the ad". Ehhh NO stick it up your arse!!! was what I wanted to say, but all I could mutter was a disillusioned no
To the jerk off in the West Australian who came up with this great idea the reason the quokka is so big is because the ads are free, start charging stupid prices like $12.95 (or call it for what is it $13) and the sellers are going to disappear instantly and when 97% - 100% of the sellers drop out you no longer have anything to sell.
Again to the above mentioned, does this mean the quokka is now going to be free in the shops instead of $2.50, I didn't think so, you greedy bastard!
The unfortunate part in all this is that the consumer is now going to get double penetrated in the arse. This is clearly giving ebay an opportunity to capitalize and price hike their fees.
