Discounts?

He nearly came to being the "Frst  punched Custiomer"

I think the best one we've had was a chap a few years back.  He'd purchased from us previously, so he'd been there when we did the 'Buy 3, Get the 4th Free' on army packs a couple of years ago.  In a different order we'd allowed him to change the composition in some of the army packs to his own lists.  And finally in a third order (at a show I think), we'd knocked a couple of quid off as it was a larger purchase.

We then got an email from him for a quite chunky order.  As we'd allowed him to change the army packs previously, he thought that every 7 packs on the order constituted an army pack, regardless of what they were.  So 5 packs of line and 2 packs of grenadiers = 1 army...  Then as we'd done the '4 for 3' previously, he'd got 3 of these 'armies' and he wanted a 4th one free.  And then as the whole lot was a little over £100, he wanted discount on the final price as well.  I think when I tallied it up it worked out at well over 30% combined discount on the regular prices and we of course had to politely explain that we couldn't do it.

WeeWars - Good to hear you are getting customers, hopefully most better than 'him'

Leon - I feel less guilty now He was lucky it was you he was dealing with, most wouldn't have bothered with the polite explanation

Can I ask for a hand-drawn, stick figure picture to be included in my Hammerhead show order?

I am sure you can, but a signed original could cost you thousands

I'm very much of the opinion 'you gotta ask? you aint gonna get!' camp

If a discount is offered its at the discretion of the vendor, and its very graciously accepted when it is offered 

The vendor knows their margin and what is possible, but I would not go out expecting! that's just plain rude!

I didn't get one 
Maybe it'll be in the mail order I made, not 24-hours after the show (I always forget something  )

Of course, you'll be giving me a 5% discount for every month I've had to wait for the Mesoamerican range, right?

So they will just add some bills to the order then 

[FierceKitty]

I don't think you can make efficient bills (or halberds) with neolithic technology.

Never hurts to try it out 

[FierceKitty]

What if Techno's the one trying it?

[petercooman]

Then it always hurts!
