Bullet points on BM:
You sign up for free
Register for $50 - one off fee for lifetime membership this allows you to buy, but not sell yet
Start buying.
If someone is willing to invite you, some or all of the registration fee is waived, but that inviting member is "responsible" for you if you start trying to scam people, or are just not too good of a person to deal with (not to say you will be, but that's the risk the inviting member would have to take).
Also if you are a glassblowing artist, you can jump though a few hoops and get registered as an artist for free.
Once you are able to buy things, you will be a "starter subscriber" most of your posts will be delayed pending mod approval.
After you've bought a few things (I think you need either 3 or 6 pieces of positive feedback on transactions [not "likes" on posts]) you become a "bronze member" which is basically the same as starter, but your posts don't need mod approval.
You can then pay $10 to upgrade to a "silver member" which allows you to sell up to 4 items at once.
I'm not sure what you can do as a gold member, but I don't think they are taking any more gold members, and they seem to mostly be shops IIRC.
And yes, it's totally worth the $50
(if you plan on making multiple glass purchases that is, if its only gonna be a 1 off purchase, it may or may not be worth it.)

Oh, fun fact:
IIRC, my EFS gridded donut was my first purchase on BM.
I was super stoked with the price then, and the sale on now has another $50 value to it (I paid extra for the blasting)
If you've got any inclination of picking up an EFS piece (before he comes where with a generous FC discount *wink-wink-nudge-nudge*
), the value on this sale exceeds the cost of a BM membership, so it would have already saved you more money than the signup fee on the first purchase.

HI EFS. Yes, you need to contact vtac, the forum owner, to register as a manufacturer here.If you look at the bottom of the page here on the right hand side, there is a "Contact Us" link that you can use.
Welcome and we're looking forward to see what you have to offer.
I'm sure vtac can advise you as to what is cool.
We're looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful work.
Best,
bopper

You'd be best off waiting until you have approval as a manufacturer/retailer before you post the pics.
I saw them on your BM thread, your blasting is

Correct. I thought that was excessive at first, but you can easily pay for it with the money you save on glass.

What a guy!
What? I don't get it.(before he comes where with a generous FC discount *wink-wink-nudge-nudge*
I'm looking forward to seeing more of you're stuff too. I really like it when the artists become involved in the forums.

Oops, that was meant to say "before he comes here..." I was just joking about him having a super duper FC discount, and vaguely referencing monty python

Hmmm... seems EFS is truly not a computer-centric guy and is busy blowing glass. 
Anyone with BM access want to volunteer 5 to 10 minutes of work to post the details and pics? EFS now has manufacturer status and has said he wants the information here for us, so no feathers should be ruffled...
I'll volunteer to do the imgur uploading and linking if someone wants to email me the pics so they don't have spend as much time doing it...

I have access to BM, but you may want to contact EFS first to see if he wants to make the sale public.
