    Obviously overhead, wages, rent ect.
    Was just thinking on a small business side job perspective, no employees. Like those that just provide vinyl for members. If it's only $49 to $95 plus the collection of taxes then it's well worth it. If they are required to have a place of business other than home and liability insurance then it probably won't.

    To change the current topic a little bit and go back to the "New Vendor" part of TW. I just want to say thanks to @tcBob, @sean266 & @chris4x4 for taking this serious. A lot of you may not know but we were talking about this in one of the vendors sub-forums https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/mia-vendor.360088/. I think the steps taken makes sense because to me if a person or company is considered a vendor than that is someone that the site is recommending. As many of you know there are vendors on here that not only are MIA but who also have taken money from people and not delivered the goods. This seems like a logical step to provide some sort of protection to the people of the site.
    Don't get me wrong, I understand that companies go out of business all the time and this move can not cover everybody but to me at least this at least legitimizes the process of who is considered a "vendor" and who is someone that just is selling stuff on there own.

    Glad to see Beefed Taco at least removed from the front page:

    Seems it took a while for Elite Off-Road and TAP (TotalAutoParts) to be removed after numerous indiscretions. Hopefully Beefed Taco won't linger on as long.

    On one hand I see the BST section as no different dealing on CL or whatever - you are buying/selling to someone you've never met, know nothing about, etc. It is a risk. At the same time, we're part of a little club here and want to trust everyone to do the right thing by one another. Makes it easy for the creeps to prey on us.
    Glad you're trying to look out for everyone!

    Isn't that how it always goes though? Just takes one person to push the limits and ruin things for others.

    No I don't
    Since my business is Web based the majority of my business comes from out of state or international, only a small portion is from California so it's relatively easy to calculate the amount owed. The pain comes when I have to pay it on their website, it's not user friendly at all and trying to find the place I need to input all of my info is not easy.

    Exactly!
    I did however went to a service center and they helped me out last time, they should have a call number on the notice you get by mail of available service centers that can help you. Even their staff thinks the site is not user friendly but at least they can get me in and out in no time.

    I'm going send people your way for bed bars that go over tonneau covers for RTT's. I don't think mine will be quite strong enough for an RTT.
