If "Golden Girls Complete Collection on DVD" wins I'm taking the site down.

Meanwhile if the ET cartridges win, orders are just backlogged a few months until you dig yourself out from under the present? :)

I could at least build something from those, like, a boat.

What,you don't think the Golden Girls are built?

I used my secret mind probe and I have discovered what Albert wants. He wants you and Shawn Sr. locked up in a room full of various weapons such as knives, chainsaws, Jarts, whoopee cushions, applesauce, and marshmallow Peeps.

 

I'd buy that for a dollar :D Seriously though Albert could do a lot worse than several hours alone with O'natural Bea Arthur and co ;)

Maybe we could chip in a little here and there and pay the monthly fee for the website for a month or two?

How much do you think that is? :)

I have no idea, really, but it's possible for us to help out with the costs of running the site. Heck if you owned everything, we might just be paying for the electricity to run it. If it costs you millions of dollars a month, we'd be able to help pay the bill!

Well, that's part of the reason I run the store, is to help pay for the hosting costs. There are actually two servers and it's over $400 a month for them. AtariAge is sitting on its own server, and there are a bunch of other sites (such as AtariProtos.com, AtariMagazines.com, AtariArchives.org, AtariMac.com, and so forth) on the other box that I am hosting for free. I've always wondered how much could be made by putting tasteful ads on the site (tasteful as in just Google AdWords or something along those lines), but have resisted doing so. There's also the possibility of creating a subscription system where people can pay a yearly subscription or something and get some additional benefits (maybe exclusive areas to the forum, first-crack at new game releases, some sort of newsletter, etc.) but I haven't pursued that just yet.

I wouldn't be opossed to Google ads if they were done tastefully just to make sure that you don't have to pay out of your own pocket :)

Google text ads do not bother me and you can make more money by putting the ads on pages where people are most likely to click and leaving them off pages where hardly anyone would click, so you wouldn't need to have them everywhere. Before I shot myself in the foot by moving all of my pages in 2006, I was making over $200 a month just from Google AdSense ads and now that my web site has almost fully recovered, I'm starting to make close to that again. If my crappy web site can bring in $200 or more each month, you'd probably be able to make many times that with AtariAge. Why not let your web site pay for itself with no work on your part except the initial work of inserting the ad code? Your asset can make money for you 24 hours a day and your physical labor may never have to pay for the web site related bills again. Make money while you're sleeping, at an event, filling orders, mountain biking, or riding roller coasters.
