Become a Premium Member of the Listserv!
Joining and participating in the Cleveland Park Listserv is free and open to all, whether you live in the neighborhood or not. But when it comes to selling things on the listserv, there are certain privileges limited to those who live in Cleveland Park and vicinity -- and even for those who live in the neighborhood, there are some reasonable limits on how often you can use the listserv to sell your stuff. Without these limits, we know that this very large listserv could be completely overrun with for-sale ads. So here’s what you’re allowed to do for free with your listserv membership:
If you live within zip codes 20008, 20007, 20016 or 20015, you can use the listserv to post for-sale ads twice per year, with at least two months between free ads. Your ad must be signed at the end with your name and it must indicate where you live (you do not need to give your exact address but you do need to provide some indication of where you are, such as the nearest intersection, a major landmark, or just your street name and zip code. Your ad must be an exclusive offer to our listserv audience – no simultaneous posting to other listservs or Craigslist. The maximum dollar value of the items you can sell in a free for-sale post is $1000. You can post ads for yourself or members of your own household but not for friends or colleagues or acquaintances. Out-of-area list members always have to pay to use the listserv to sell things.
We know we could not keep this very busy listserv running without the support of the people who use it and benefit from it, so we charge an ad fee for all those ads that don’t fit in with the restrictions listed above. The cost of a for-sale post is ten percent of the asking price, up to a maximum price per ad of $50. The most common way to pay is on our “For Sale Ads” payment page at http://www.cleveland-park.com/for-sale-ads.html.
Lots of members want to use the listserv to advertise outside of these limits, and we know it can be a hassle to pay ten percent of the asking price each time you want to advertise something for sale. So we have developed the PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP program, which supports the listserv with an annual membership fee of $50 and gives you all the following advertising privileges:
A few other benefits of PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP: If you join the PREMIUM MEMBER program, you will also get some extra moderator help when you need it. We do our best to be helpful to all our list members, but if you support the listserv with your paid membership, we will go that extra mile for you. We’ll help you out with archive searches to find recommended contractors and service professionals, and you will get some extra posting privileges, too. Normally, we don’t let list members ask the same question twice within a short period of time, but if you’re a premium member, and you did not get a helpful answer the first time around, go ahead and repost. And while free members of the listserv are told “no posting for a friend – you can post only for yourself or a member of your own household” – premium members can post for anyone they would like to help out by tapping into the collective wisdom of the large listserv readership.
Here's how to become a PREMIUM MEMBER. The cost is $50 per year, and there are 4 ways to pay:
1. Click on the Premium Membership button below.
