I wish GPA had a trial-service...

FTR: this was never about me asking George to make a new tier of GPA access. Not once was this a plea for personal service. This came about due to a series of slightly unfortunate & unforeseen occurrences that came to a head all at once, with the end result being I don't have enough $ to pay for a full month's worth of the GPA service at the moment, and me wishing (WISHING, right there in the thread's title!) that there was a lower tier of service, as if there were, I'd be using it right now.

 

To anyone that needs "reassurance," first step back and look in your own life to see if you have never made an unfortunate error that caused you some slight hardship. If you haven't, you are a better person than everyone else in the world. It isn't like I am constantly unable to pay my eBay fees, or even able to afford $11 for the GPA service. Look at my board sales and my eBay feedback. Ask around to the people you can, you'll see this is truly a one-time thing that happened. Again, if you've never made a mistake, ever, then you are a god among men.

 

Thanks for all the helpful criticism, and to all that have offered to help me right now, in any way!

 

:foryou: all!

No doubt. It's $10. That's almost free. If you can't afford it, then maybe you should find something cheaper to collect.....

 

I don't really care who you think you are or what "kool books™ " you have, you are out of line.

I don't get why you are getting so much grief about this. It seems perfectly reasonable, particularly as a "wish".

 

My local grocery store has a bakery that makes fresh doughnuts every day, big huge things that cost $6.99/dozen. It's a really great price, good value, and well worth $6.99. But I can't eat a dozen of them before they go bad. Luckily, they also sell them individually, for 69 cents each. Not as good a price as the dozen price, but I can't "use" 12 doughnuts, so it works out well for me.

 

I guess all these folks would tell me, hey, it's only 7 bucks, why would you want to get just the one?

The difference is that GPA is a service, not a product like a donut that can be sold individually.

 

The cable company doesn't offer a one day service if you want to watch one episode of a show, right?

Sorry, I had just gotten back from the grocery store, and I REALLY wanted one of those doughnuts, but they were out of my favorite kind, so it was on my mind. ;)

Actually, it depends on the company - I have signed up for less than a month's worth of Showtime or HBO, to watch one show I wanted to see.

 

And if your argument is that it isn't possible for GPA to offer less than a month's worth of it's service, that's a little silly, don't you think?

George can offer his service any way he wants to. It's not like Slim isn't getting it for free anyway. (shrug)

Yes, that would be crazy. Next people will be wanting to buy individual songs rather than an entire album. :screwy:

Porn sites have one day previews, why not GPA? If it works for porn, it can work with comics.

 

errr, so I've heard. :blush:

People pay for porn? ???

 

Brazzers & Digital Playground seem to have found a way to make bank.
