		<description>Thanks again for telling us about it Crocky. You may not want to read the rest of this message though, because I am going to post some numbers for the benefit of every other reader who comes across this article who are thinking about buying software like this...

For the 18 months that your service lasted, you effectively paid $666 per month. Far more than even the most expensive (and the best) monthly subscription services. The higher end subscription services come out at about Â£140 per month - about $214 USD. Most of the others are between $100 and $150, with some like ArbExpert being as low as &#8364;50!

And having the company which has produced the software just close up shop and stop sending out arbs is just one of the many ways in which upfront payment softwares can fail on you.

Thanks again for sharing.</description>

		<description>My Story
 
I bought a software package (no no no no they say) the sales pitch was good got the large glossy mag plenty of money to be made had lessons over the phone on how to use it and away i went and it has worked well for the last 18 months but now cant get them on the phone send a e-mail (The following recipient(s) could not be reached) and the last communication was 3 weeks ago saying they are upgrading the system. Frustrating really as it has worked well and I was having fun making a little bit of money , I made about 150 euro a month which I was quite happy with the main reason for that was I didnt put large sums of money on each arb 100-150 ,</description>

		<description>[...] In light of another article I recently wrote warning about the risks of paying for non-subscription based services, I think this perfectly highlights risk #3 in that article. That is, the risk that the arb feed suddenly and mysteriously stops. If CSI stop paying Tip Ex&#8217;s commercial license fee (or whatever arbs data feed they end up settling on), then what happens to the expensive CarbonA? It becomes a useless husk of a program.
