It'd be nice if you gave me credit for adding all the information and cover photos Ive added to the database.
Has anyone else added tons of info and photos of books and not had any notification?

Here are some details that you may find important. (I find them critical to this discussion)
1. On average we add 3000 books per month to the database
2. On average we make hundreds of price changes for raw books each month. (even more if you count graded that aren't shown on the recent value change page)
3. On average we answer hundreds of customers each month
4. We offer a free app and free use of our site to thousands of collectors.
5. Since we have such a large database we require a programmer to keep your data safe and running properly.
If you are a paying member you pay $1 per week for this service. I understand that you want your submissions approved but there is limited staff and budget. For $1 you are getting a steal.
Please compare us with a $7.99 new comic
Or with CGC cheapest grading cost of $20 plus a membership fee ranging from $25 to 300.
Or with Ebay's ridiculous 10% fees on everything you sell.
Or with other "guides" that flood you with ads and interfere with your experience.
We are the best value in the comic book industry.

see this thread: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=12862&
I don't know what kind of 'notification' you think you should be getting tho. All that happens is your member rank increases. I recently got to 8, which took a while, and I didn't get any special notifications or money or awards or kudos, and didn't expect any. You get, or should get, your name in the 'people who contributed to this page/comic' pane on the comic's listing, so that's about all the recognition you can expect.

Not sure what sort of recognition you're expecting? Your member rank has increased to level 4 because of what you've contributed.

I guess I add information for a different reason than you.
I add to the site because it makes it more complete, a better resource for other collectors.
