In the new message posted today, Dan talked about how they will no longer be doing sales or discounts in the future. What I'm curious about is if that also applies to the customers who were part of the original loyalty program and were eligible for the 25% discount on processors?

The Upgrade for Life continues, I assume.
In the mean time, I'm holding out for the big 4th of July Blowout Spectacular...

I'm assuming there will be sales on discontinued products to move them out as new gear is introduced. There will also be discounts on B stock or returned products. I do like the idea and do hope that the prices are adjusted to reflect Emotiva's pricing model.

This is in no way shape or form meant to criticize, but didn't Emotiva try the "no sales" thing before?

And what of any 40% discount cards? Its fair to believe that they will be honored untill the last one is returned to Emotiva!

I believe Schiit has used this pricing philosophy from day one. Some probably think it's schitty of Emotiva but it's logical.

Does this mean the prices are going to go down now?

If Dan reads this thread : 'Price Anchoring' is a very powerful strategy especially for brands that do not swing prices during promotion periods. For example: if their website can include an additional link for each product (maybe) called 'Comparisons'. Here each product is compared on key characteristics with similar products from the industry including prices. For a majority of buyers, this candid comparison will provide a greater sense of comfort on price/value ratios. Should lead to more sales !

I would expect upgrade for life and 40% off to be honored. I would not expect a price decrease.

Does this mean the prices are going to go down now? My guess is no. But they won't go up fro the rest of the year, either. Here's a quote from Dan's post. (my bolding) " We’ve decided instead to keep prices just where they are at the most affordable price possible for the rest of the year".

Does this mean the prices are going to go down now? It would have been very cool to see a small across-the-board price reduction accompanying Dan's message.

Too many resources would be required to keep such a data base current. Prospective buyers can do that work themselves. Just my opinion my friend.

But, some people just like to "get a deal" (but I think we're already getting a deal from Emotiva...) Mark

I agree that this is a good move. It may take some time for regular Emotiva customers to get used to it though, as the sales were a big deal in the past...

While I like the feeling of getting something "on sale" I think Dan's new policy is a sound one. Just make pricing be it is what it is, and that's that.
Everyone has their two cents about can't you just do this or can't you just do that, or X company does it this way and Y company does it that way and I own a successful business and am also an IT expert and let me tell you this is how we do it and I know what I am talking about... blah blah blah...
The more you change stuff the more change is then expected. Put something in place and people will get used to it. Make a change and then they'll think they can nag you into more changes.
Schiit's policy sure hasn't hurt them any. Only B stock gets discounted, and that's understandable.
