Sparse. Labeled. Rarity bar not for sale.
Rare Machines sells a few clearly marked placements — never the editorial judgment that keeps the desk honest. Opening rates for the first three sponsors; revise after the first paid month.
Rate card
Newsletter sole sponsor
One sponsor per send. Logo, one sentence, and a link — with a “Presented by” disclosure. Includes mention in that week’s archive email header if we publish a digest later.
$1,500 / week
Presented-by Live Pick
One paid Live Pick presentation per week, max. The machine must still clear the Hard Gates — we can decline. Labeled “Presented by [Sponsor]” on the dossier and Live grid. Never an unlabeled native ad.
$2,500 / slot
Specialist dealer retainer
Eligible for consideration when stock clears the bar. No guaranteed Live Pick count. Small text credit in the site footer (“Dealers in residence”) — not a banner. Cancel anytime at month end.
$3,000 / month
What we don’t sell
- Homepage takeover / interstitials
- Unlimited inventory dumps
- Unlabeled native ads
- Auction photo scrapes
- Guaranteed “featured” of non-rare stock
