Why is it that ...

Over on 6speedonline the key vendors all offer holiday sales (generally 10% off) and unless I'm mistaken, we don't see any of that here?

Would the extra 10 or 20% off create higher sales?
My guess would be yes.

Yes it would boost sales in the short run. EuroElites is planning to have a sale for local market (Bay Area - Nor Cal) in a few weeks time. Most likely its going to be performance for the 63 engines. (ecu upgrade/headers/intake..etc)

Yeah, almost done with the headers. We'll see. Still trying to structure a deal for the 63/550 engines. Supercharger is about 3-4 months away. (for the 550)

Thanks Adam, be careful though, in a few weeks time Christmas will be over. A certain amount of disposable income disappears then.

What about Renntech and Kleemann stepping up?

vendors have sales when they need to move merch. if they are selling fine, why have a discount?

You have a sale to generate growth.

If you're at 100% capacity and a sale would hurt efficiency/margin then don't have a sale, raise your prices.

There are just too many answers to "why have a discount" and the success of WalMart is one of them.

Economics in theory is different from economics in practice.
Discounts are commonplace, sometimes advertised discount is marked up higher than they normally make.

Maybe in the future, Renntech will adjust its prices. Who knows? I have no clue either.
