i mentioned this thread to dodger and he said maybe when the sales are over he should mark up his things to 120% and then put them on sale for 24% off so they are the same price but everybody can be happy because they would then be always on sale forever. you know that theres nothing wrong with buying a good item at its full price. when people put something on sale its to be nice and give a special deal away. to claim you will only buy something you want if its on sale is silly. things are sold at the prices they should be and when they are on sale a seller is taking a slight loss in order to reward customers early ones in the case of daz in these cases. its great to see something you want on sale but to insist that you wont buy it unless its on sale is rather rude behavour and very disrespectful to artists like my husband who put a lot of themselves into making these things.
