Hi marcopoloca,
I think you're on the right track here. The new FP format at 35 cents for 30 days may be the way to go for smaller stores because along with it you get the extra exposure.
I will not be closing my store, but I normally run 3000 - 4000 listings. It's not cost effective for me to move my items to core. Based on 3000 listings..my store & listing fees for the month are $105.00. If I moved everything to core my listing fees would be $1,050.
I will say that buyers do like being able to go into a store and shop. However, if a seller is organized and keeps their listings in FP going on a regular basis...their buyers will be there!
Decisions! Decisions!
