Artisan Program Overview
The Overclock.net Artisan program allows talented members in good standing the opportunity to offer their products/services directly to the Overclock.net membership.

Who is This Program For?
Individuals who meet the eligibility requirements listed below who would like to sell products within Overclock.net but do not have the means/justification to join the Official Vendor program.

What Will Artisans Receive?

A one year prepaid Artisan subscription includes:

Inclusion within a dedicated Artisan sales forum
Inclusion within a dedicated Artisan support forum
Access to a private Artisan/Staff forum
An Artisan postbit badge (coming July 15th or sooner)

Product / Service Listing Fee

$79 fee per listing per year after (for listings 4-10)

A product listing consists of one specific product or service offered by an Artisan.

this looks interesting. i've never seen this kind of service on any other forums.

Nice idea Admin

If you had one listing and decided you wanted to change completely what you sold - say, after 3 months, you wanted to stop selling fan grills and started selling cases - would it be possible to change over the service completely without buying a new listing? That's the only thing holding me back because the risk of a lack of sales means you just wasted a full listing

I think that is the reason for why you are allocated 1 to 3 listings per year for the $99 one and 4 to 10 listings per year for the $79 one. If you do plan on changing listings within three months than I believe it counts as adding a new one.

I thought the price was per listing?

So each of the first 3 is $99 each, and then 4 to 10 are $79 from the second year onwards? :s

Pardon me.

I must have read it wrong

I thought that you got 1 to 3 listings for $99 but it does say "$99 per listing for the first 3 per year". I think that each listing is valid for a complete year; thus, it doesn't matter when you purchase your listings.

The prices are indeed per listing. The $99 bracket works out to only $8.25 per month and the $79 tier to $6.58 per month, so it does not take a whole lot of sales to cover the cost, especially considering how many hits the site gets.

Thanks for the answer Taeric

But could this sentence:

"A product listing consists of one specific product or service offered by an Artisan."

be interpreted as "at anyone time" or for the full year?

The current intention of the program is that you specify a product or service for duration of the term with a substantively different product or service constituting a different offering.
