This "review copy plz" shit is getting fucking OLD. Yeah he's new but hell cut him some slack - he offered to cut his pricing over 50% for a review copy for a mod.

The "
Sell, Buy & Trade" section is what it is. Not offering teh review copeez is fine if you're providing a $5/$10 service or something like that but most people who charged 3 figs (actually, even lots of ppl who didn't charge all that much) and weren't willing to invest time by working for free initially ended up failing.
I earn a living exclusively by writing for WF members these days (it'll still be a while till the stuff I'm working on atm generates lots of monies), so I like to think that I know how things work. This doesn't mean that there no exceptions, but realistically speaking, you need to do whatever it takes to establish yourself and this usually means that you gotta work for peanuts or even for free when you're just starting out.
