I have to agree with you mariner. That;s one of the problems vendors are having with this. In essences it;s a forced sale on our stores. However we have no control over it AND rendo sets a minimum price limit. The minimum price limit benefits the site since they make a percentage of EVERY sale made, but it doesn't benefit the individual vendor (I made one sale using the coupon), nor does it really help the buyer since the minimum was set so high the most people (myself included) relly don;t have that much "fun money" to spend.

A normal sale by a vendor would have the same effect but allow the buyers to only purchase what they want/need with no lower limit on spending.

And let's face it, vendors that normally don;t have sales are going to use whatever means to "opt out", say by placing a minimal "sale" on their product anyway.

All I can see of this whole situation is that is has cause more friction in a host/vendor/buyer situation that has been strained for some time.

And to Stacey, my apologies for going back on my word and inflecting my views in this thread again. I will try harder to hold my opinions.
