    Yes, no rush. If you go too early, people will skip you on the holy days if you don't offer something better then. If your offers now are too bad because else you can't offer something better on bf, people will skip you now.

  • plan 3 offers.

    1- on BF day
    2- on Cyber Monday

    3- have a limited FLASH --- MUST buy --- offers.

    Your best deals should be saved for the BF mega-thread on LES. Just saying :)

  • Go wild already with the best you got. Either people will jump on it and you get business. Or "the best you got" is not worth BF amyway...

    I mean you can take peoples money now... or compete with everyone else on BF and who knows if your epic deal will still be epic.

    Advin already took my BF money with a f%&* pre-order, sooooooo...

    Haven't bought a single service in VirMach Great Ryzen 2022 - 2023 Flash Sale.

  • Ehhh do it man! Just do it! I have BF money burning a hole in my account just do it!!!!!

    But going wild on Black Friday will help you fit right in :smiley:

    @Mathias said: the whole month

    Thing is, if the sale is a limited time only, then you get the panicking greedy behavior of customers.
    If the offer lasts more, or the quantity is not limited, in other words if you make it more available, the impulse buyer is less likely to buy.

    So you need to offer like, limited time offer, i have only 5 potatoes, selling them right now at non-inflated low low prices, tomorrow they'll be gone.

    Tomorrow 7 more potatoes are harvested, selling for even cheaper.
    You bought a potato yesterday?
    Buy another potato to reduce your average cost!

    Does it matter?
    We all know the @WSS account and the @Nekki account are controlled by LES moderators.
    Essentially, they are @System with avatars.
    You can login as these accounts and write in the style of respective personalities in order to generate drama clicks.

    I am sure you know that what you are saying is untrue. Nobody could impersonate those two characters and hope to pull it off. As far as I know only the Flying_Chinaman account is controlled by LES moderators. :trollface: /derail

    @Mathias - it is best to go wild on Black Friday. The hype will be better that way. Please don't forget to have some strong (and possibly fun) captcha, because those damn bots and automated browser extensions will snatch the offers fast and you could end up with abusers and loaded MJJ support.

    Remember: on that day many people don't even have time to read. They read only after they made an order without payment, so they can change their mind later, while serious consumers are being left out. You need some captcha to make it fun. You could also block orders coming from VPN or Tor, but this depends on you.

    ^ captcha is a good idea --- thanks root.

    I don't know if this is possible, but I would love to see some fun captcha implemented by @FAT32 before the ordering link is given.

    Something fun would be like a chess game on ending position (a chess board with a notification: "white wins with checkmate in 2 moves"), but I don't know if something like this even exists.

    Another idea is questions and a specific word (related to servers) as answer.

    Another idea is simple mathematical equations with numbers in both words and digits.

    I would say imagination is the limit, but I don't know what is possible and what is not. After all, many moderators here are volunteers.

    Technically we can, but this year there are less legendary deals but more balanced specs at sustainable price with plenty of quantity so there's enough stocks for everyone.

    Deals that are crazy are usually made very last minute and hard to predict, which we will run out of time to develop.

    In my opinion the purpose should be human verification to slow down bots, not encouraging people to learn advanced chess :lol:
