The pricing I set as a vendor is generally lower than similar items like it at Daz, so 50% off really isn't needed to have the similar prices or lower prices than Daz (even when theirs is at a big 50% or more discount). But, there are many times through-out the year that we have group sales or store sales that are around the 50% mark (or more). So, if you're goal is by items at a bigger discount, you should really check into the PRIME membership. The extra discounts and coupons pays for itself in less than a month depending on what you buy and how often you buy. As a Renderosity vendor, I'd rather sale here because of the freedom we are given to how we price our products, our ability to put them on sale, have special Prime FLASH deals, create bundle deals and participate in the group sales (that often have some cool, fun themes).
Do yourself a favor and check-out the prime deals here https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/?br=prime and here https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/?TopID=539133. You won't see the general prices that low at Daz.
Many of us want nothing to do with Prime ever since you neutered it thanks to the fact that you had the nerve to remove 100% royalties to vendors, these forums STILL USE THE ACCURSED MARKDOWN, and your asinine no-competing freebies sites WHICH NO OTHER COMPETING POSER MP SITE DOES!!! I still consider Platinum Club to be a far better deal than Prime-- it was close to equal, if not even better than PC back before you neutered it.
And you have only in the past few weeks began to run sales of more than 40% off for non-prime members (and I seem to recall reading not long ago that you actually placed a LIMIT on vendors of a max of 40% off discount for non prime members-- I'm glad to see that you are at least letting them set their own sales again. Or at least I hope you are-- IMO it should be entirely up to the vendor whether or not to put their products on sale and by how much-- Daz does that with brokered products, and it's one of the things that bothers me the most about them. I don't care if they do that with Daz Original products, just like I don't care if Rendo does that with a product by say-- Rhiannon or Graycloud that is also an Rpublishing product)
