And that could be where the confusion is, on the cyber monday from last year then.

Yes I think everyone knows that the vendors choose the products.

I don't think it's a 'satisfactory thing' I think it's a ' we were hoping for the 50% off $50 thing so we could purchase what we really wanted and not necessarily what the vendors wanted to put on sale' thing.  Money is tight, and as such, people are going to be wanting what they want more then the normal type of impulse sale that this type of vendor sale brings. As it is, the things in my cart have now been wishlisted and I just won't buy.  If they show up next week great, but after next week, I cease purchasing until the new year, simply because my money will go towards Christmas for others and not myself.  Believe me my cart was bulging with products, as it is, now you'll make maybe 20 bucks from me instead of probably over $100.  It was going to be my Christmas present to myself :)

All I know is there was a lot of talk among people around other communities, emails, chat rooms etc  of anticipation of the 50% off again and when it didn't show people were disappointed.  I think if people want to be disappointed they can be, they have that right I would think.  It's the nature of the beast.  I'm disappointed, others are disappointed, so we say so, in hopes that maybe next time it will be different. 

It was suggested to put it to a member vote before next year comes around, probably not a bad idea ;)  A poll as it were to see what the members really would prefer.

Just a suggestion, that's all.

Anyway, it's not going to happen so it is what it is :) 

And I don't see anywhere where anyone is faulting Deb and Preston, not sure where that came from.  So maybe if the vendors themselves realize that they could have made more money on the 50% off $50 maybe they'll opt for that next year :)  I know that the 50% off sales are wildly successful at Daz and RDNA. 

Like I said, it is what it is, some of us have expressed our disappointment and everyone has responded :)  So I'm thinking at this point that any other discussion is really a waste of everyone's time ;)  Nothing's going to change and the sale will go on  :) I truly do hope that some of my stuff shows up, but since it's all mostly newer stuff, I'm not holding my breath :)

Have a great holiday season :)  Try not to stress too much :)
