Quote - I got the same promo link from a friend by email. I was going to post it here but asked a moderator first. I don't do animation (no time) so don't really give a hoot about this product.
I think the promo seems too good to be true. The marketing people at pmG should of done a better job at allaying fears that "if something is too good to be true then it is".
pmG should of atleast said what the target was for the number of units to be sold. That missing little bit of details does make it all smell fishy.
Anyhoot if in doubt aways run it past one of the moderators first. It's their job to keep our playground safe and us children in line. LOL.
First things first, THANK YOU :D You made my day, and if you were closer, I'd give you a cookie. (Seriously, I made too many.)
Second, I do agree that pmG should have at least posted what their goal was. I've seen deals like this for years, and taken part in a lot of them. Artfire (an online handmade/vintage goods shop) had a similar one in November, and I think their push was to get 1000 people to sign up, and if they met their goal, everyone who signed up would get their shop fees set to $5 per month forever, instead of $15 per month. Groupon does similar, as does Deal of the Day, which I use almost constantly. It's not a ponzi scheme, not a pyramid scheme...it's like the priceline commercial. Getting customers to pay 50% for an item is better than not having any customers at all!
