maybe a few other guys that don't come to mind right away:

I need valid emails from you guys. The ones I sent are bouncing. Every dealer should have received a notice about the new fee structure---listings are FREE. However, dealers that have been on the site and supported it for a few years now have a lifetime member designation.

ALL DEALERS MUST email their NEW SOT no later than Aug 31 of 2011 or their ads will be deleted. NO FAXES...email only. If your ad is deleted there will be a reposting fee. This is meant to save me time...and less headaches.

Dealers wishing to obtain a lifetime member status may send a banner with $100 for posting it. This will earn the lifetime member status. If you don't have a banner and want the lifetime member status a $100 donation to the site is fine.

WHEN I have more time I intend to put the lifetime member status in a different color...or something along that line to give recognition to those that have been here for years.

Saturday I got a call from Terry Maynard. Terry is a great guy to deal with. I have done a few with him..and the only words to describe him are top notch. Terry thanked me for this site...and stated he attributes a LOT of his success to being listed on the site. Those were great words to hear...that this site has helped him build his business. The NFA business has been very good to me. There is NO BETTER business in the world...and there is no class of gentlemen of such great character than in NFA.

All I need from you guys is your cooperation with sending your SOT's timely. I do not have time to chase anyone down...so if your ad disappears due to lack of sending your SOT...that $40 or $50 fee may help remind you next time! It is NOT about the money...I just don't have the time I used to have. On top of that...I have severe neck problems, need surgery, and family issues that are pretty tough right now.

If you need a reminder to send your SOT EVERY year...print this and put it on your wall.

On a different subject....NFA has been screaming strong this year. I suspect we may see price increases soon. My reasoning is that I have waiting lists for several guns, they are harder to buy at a reasonable price to make a fair profit, and I am having to pay more and more for product. It would not surprise me in the least to see full size Vectors in the 8K range soon. I suspect we will see PS Macs in the 4K range soon. These are my personal beliefs...don't buy or sell on them. Maybe some of you have predictions you would care to share?
