Make an offer issues

LemonadeCG - can i try offering you a price, just to test it, and you will decline. then i will report back, can we try this out? all you need to do is to decline my offers :)

Sure, i will send you PM.

So, we just tested this out. i made a price offer bigger then 50 % and i was not allowed to proceed. (i offered 2 $ for a model that is priced at 9 $) But after i made an offer of 5 $ (for a 9 $ model) i was allowed to make an offer after i typed in a message.

I have turned it on, since i'm not participating in other cgtrader's discount programs. I feel that it's fair to let customers negotiate the price if they want to. It doesn't hurt my earnings much, i didn't made calculations, but out of my head i'd say only about 5% of customers do use the offer option. Out of those 5%, the wast majority goes with the maximum allowed 50% offer, which i never accept and instead make a counter-offer of 30%. About 25-30% of offers do materialize into sale. I can't know how many of those who buys through offered price would buy the model at full price if i would not allow negotiation, but even if it would be 100% i think i would still keep this option available. Sometimes it's nice to do good deeds :]

Cool :) That means that 95% of the clients do feel it's a shame to haggle! I suspected that all these constant discounts offers had brought here mainly cheap deal seekers and it's really nice to know that the majority are serious customers.

Most of the offers are made for my cheapest models and especially those that does not materialize into sale after i decline 50% deal. People who buys my moderately priced or expensive models, they usually do not bother with price offers and pays full price. I think that's a good indication that my models are not too highly priced, it's just there are people who always feels hard to part with their money and i can't blame them :]
