In case the banner ads generate revenue for the CGC board, I started clicking through to one of the ebay ads every time I drop by. I don't even look at the product, which is easy as part of the filters I've developed over decades of studiously avoiding paying attention to people trying to sell me stuff on the net.
I'm not a fanboy of cgc, but after all I buy some books here, and even sell on occasion, so what's the big deal to click a couple of times (in case that was part of the point of new board, moving the banner ebay ad from bottom or lower right edge to top of screen to generate advertising revenue).
I hate the new design, I've mostly lurked since the change, think this is my third post, including a "take" in the sale forum. Some of the features are pretty good, and the beta color skin they added, and deletion (hopefully to become permanent) of that large obtrusive CGC banner at the top shows that CGC is at least trying to make this a less annoying process in at least some respects. And even if driven solely by the desire for revenues, what is this, Cuva, what should we expect from a capitalist enterprise? [e.g. I'm far more put off by the failure of CGC to add a disclosure note on label that a book was pressed by CCS which I'm beginning to think are getting better grades than appropriate, and whether or not that's true still presents a conflict of interest.]
