I keep getting emails from them a certain online company saying about thier massive warehouse clearance, and then finding there's like £2.50 off a £300 mixer...

What would you consider a proper sale and how much discount of money off would make you part with your cash?

Oh, and be realistic - no 99% off sales etc :)

At least a minimum of 10% off

When I bough those Dynatwins a few months ago, there was 10% off and it saved me a few quid.

10 % if i was looking for something, but 20% would make me buy something even if i didnt really need it.

Surely it would depend on the price that they started from? Some traders, even with a 10% or 20% discount would still be more expensive than some other traders before any discount!

Thats the wonder of the internet. Find the cheapest price first. Then try for the 10-20 % . Also depends on the price to start with. 20% off £1 no big deal. 20% of £1000, now were talking

You have to remember that B.A. has already stripped prices to the bone and he must be making pence on some of the gear he sends out.

He goes for high volume, low mark up, quick turnaround and is rumored to hold up to a £1 Million of Behringer stock at a time.

It comes in on 45 day payment terms and he aims to "clear" it in 30.

Everyone knows they are cheap so I don't know why they bother.

Didn't think you wanted the firm mentioned so here goes:

The warehouse clearance emails originate from a retailer in Southampton called...

Blue Aran

couldnt see that one coming ;)

one thing that does confuse me though... say someone offers a discount for forum members... not necessarily here, but any forum for any type of retail... why the hell do the forum members complain that its not enough of a discount???

member - "this discount sucks, im buying elsewhere!"
retailer - "oh im sorry, i will remember to give a larger discount to super hard working members that took a huge chunk of time out of their life to sign up for a free forum..."

know what i mean? :D dont be bloody greedy!

The thread wasn't aimed at you Liam!

Yeah, so you don't wanna give a bigger discount to our members who spent ages signing up, so why should we let you advertise then, when all you had to do is sign up?

Got to be benefits to our members to let retailers sell stuff for free surely?
