I agree that they should have more sales that are more than 10 percent off.
That recent 30% with a minimum purchase of $15.00 was great. I found myself unable to resist getting many of the items that I had been sitting on in my wish list waiting to buy when I was more flush with money.
I wouldn't have bothered if it was 10% off because I don't usually go and buy $100.00 worth of virtual stuff. And I'm not going to go and spend $25.00 or $35.00 minimum to get $2.50 or $3.50 discount. That barely covers the currency exchange rate.
On the other hand with the minimum $15.00 and then a wopping 30% off that extended beyond the end of the month (my payday along with many others) was just too tempting. Between sale and clearance prices together with the 30% additional discount, I managed to clear away a good chunk of my wish list.
I think Renderosity would see more sales and ultimately more profits if they had more of those higher discount coupons with a lower minimum, or a no minimum purchase.
Also, most other sites have a large sale once per year. Poser Works has one in November or December and I went hog wild and bought almost everything in their store one year. Poser Pros has buy one get one free sales. RDNA has a huge 50% off sale in August every year. Even Daz has mega sales.
Renderosity is the only one that I know of that doesn't do that.
