Poll - Grading notes vs Ads

[toro]

Since it looks like CGC is trying to generate new revenue which would you prefer ads in the forums or paying for graders notes.

[Transplant]

Neither.

Since I don't submit comics and have hardly ever asked for notes, I'd rather they charged for them. It's still ridiculous though. Maybe $15/yr. for unlimited access via a simple web interface/web service would be okay, but $30 per comic? Crazy talk.

Meth Crack with the early lead!

I believe CGC will eventually offer two types of encasing: standard and premium and the one I really think will come around first is a "premium" grader option, where you pay extra for a "master" grader to grade your book. Just like they do with tech support - you get crappy, free service or you pay a subscription fee to get one-on-one, quick service.

 

Paying for grader's notes and for "fast track" is just the tip of the iceberg.

Thank you for your submission. We will consider your idea to have different quality grading for different pricing tiers.

I'd have less of a problem with all the money-grabbing if they were on time with their turnarounds. Hopefully this additional revenue will go towards hiring some additional staff (graders).

[Mutie Fan]

Crack for me.

It's a Friday, who cares. I just need my crack beer.

CGC is like any other business. It exists to fleece it's expanding customer base for maximum profits, because those customers have shown they'd pay any price or wait any length of time for the product. I don't blame them one bit. They have a sellable commodity - and their only competition is a shady, incompetent, inaccurate company that can only be making money off people who have never heard of PGX. If I had the same opportunity to beat my customers out of more money, I'd do it in a flat minute and get myself a new Porsche.

Well it looks like only a small sample, but Ads barely beats out crack.

Not possible if they want to maintain integrity of their grading services. One system of three graders under one roof with total quality control. Same reason they will not open up satellite offices. On-site grading at shows is the one anomaly I always questioned.

Too late. The Ideas Committee has already taken it under advisement.

I voted for who cares?
