don't get me totally wrong, i have uin the past paid full price for a lot of stuff. However, as the economy gets bad, and my pay hasn't gone up in 10 years, I'm forced, like a lot of people, to make the most out of the dollars I have. It becomes imperative to but Poser items at sale prices, therefore, if an item is on sale for 30% off and I have a coupon for 30$ off, I'm going to take advantage of it.

Obviously, as Gabe stated, this used to come out of Rendo's 50% share of the revenue. I also think 50/50 is highway robbery to the vendors. Its a ridiculous cut. Obviously the exposure for the vendor by selling at Rendo must be worth the loss? If it was me, I would be forming up a cooperative of vendors that would become as big as Rendo, but have it more 80/20 in favor of the vendor with the remainder going to website management and associated costs.

This new coupon deal, then is another kick in the teeth of the vendors. I would have all my stuff on sale all the time at 10% off or something like that, but now you only get 40% ... but its better than 20, I guess.
