Updatable list of accumulated discounts for GaAs/C customers has been added
Good weekend for all !
Let me capture several minutes of your attention to announce some further information I'm ready to share regarding the system for discounts what I have announced here on this thread earlier. Thus, accounts for discounts were opened in August 13, 2015 and since that day an extra win after discounts applied for GaAs/C customers were accumulating in their accounts. On the first post of this thread, at the bottom, there is a link sending to the information on account states (it will be updated time_to_time/periodically/upon_request).
What are major factors on that discounting system?
#1 factor is for sure the difference between cost to get item for sell (manufacture or get from suppliers) and market (selling) price. Thus, some items will have higher discounts and some wont have at all. I could play with discounts to regulate fairly the demand during special peak events. I will take care to offer space to fellow armor crafters or other shop owners if peace offered as well. As we did so far (fellow armor crafters for more than year had best selling option with peace from me - auction. I rarely been showing up there, just to sell rare parts with high TIR numbers or when market was short for some parts). Anyhow, customers will have extra win and especially on "hot" items. List of current items with discounts ain't not wide yet, but I'll be working to revise discounts right on your purchases. Not yet have plans to announce lists. Customers will be able to see by changes on their accounts. This system is very young still and I tend to announce just basic principles on start. #1 factor always will stay very complex after wish to offer win to majority of influenced players, not just to my customers.
#2 factor is completely dependent on customer - it's discounting coefficient (DC). DC is calculated based on sum of all purchases current year, since Jan 1 applying some math equation. It's not linear dependence and growth of DC is slowing down with purchases. But always higher activity will bring customers to win. Potential is to have items at their cost for top customers. Thus, purchasing ANY items (not just ones what have discounts) you will rise your DC and will have top discounts by that on "hot" items. Such "hot" were Perseus or Pulsar plates during migration, where you had highest discounts. For example, currently top1 customer has twice better DC than top10 customer.
To mention, temporary some known to me redistributors have no discounts and I would ask you not to exploit discounts you could have by purchasing massively items for your friends. Rare "help" to your friends is supported, but massive exploit will be balanced. Later this rule will be dropped after trusts achieved and prices/discounts polished.
Finalizing: after this announcement you know that on some purchases you will have some extra PED sent to your account. Feel free to ask your customer code to see your PEDs on me (knowing customer code just check accumulated list) as well feel free to contact me for withdraw your PEDs any time. Accumulated PEDs are kept intact in my storage and ready for withdraw.
Shops are refilled, lists updated. Have a good weekend, fellow Entropians.
add: current DCs were calculated based on all purchases customers had since shop opened (summary of recorded data about their purchases), but discounts accumulated for purchases since Aug 13 as mentioned.
