Members tim_7string Posted December 30, 2012 Members Share Posted December 30, 2012 Anytime I see something where I have to pay a fee upfront or buy a certain amount of product, I just pass on it. It might be different if I were in my teens and felt I had nothing to lose, but as an older musician that's been through a lot, I just don't see where it will benefit me at all.

Moderators daddymack Posted December 30, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 30, 2012 I'm not one to buy a pig in a poke. Why would I pay money to some unknown web entity? Like any contest, if they failed to get adequate sponsorship to cover their costs, then why would I even consider entering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kreatorkind Posted January 18, 2013 Members Share Posted January 18, 2013 Running from anyone who asks for money upfront is a good rule of thumb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
