You know, at first, I thought that thread really didn't belong over here either, but you make some very good points. There are TONS of ads that get put over in classifieds that will just bury that thread, and few people will read it. A shame, I know I would jump on a deal like that if there were funds available, but had it been put in the classifieds, I would have never seen it in the first place. I second that it be brought back over here, where it will actually get read, it has a lot more merit than most in the classifieds section, this was an EMERGENCY type basis, not just people wanting to find business they didn't already have!!
I applaud you EKM for always speaking your mind. It seems people like you are part of a dying breed!
Honestly, I am really trying to fill these spots because the four people that cancelled are essentially family.
They found out on Sunday that their 74 yr old mother/grandmother was terminal and given 4 weeks.
They have already paid the deposits and, in all reality, will be liable for the balance of their hunt.
They are already out $8,000 by cancelling... I'd hate to see them have to spend another $8,000 just so they can be along their mother's/grandmother's side when she passes.
That is why I have been frantically trying to fill these spots...
