Hiya Matt
BBS does offer a 10% discount on this forum, but to established members only.
The criterea of established members is typically greater than 6 month membership and over 50 posts.
We do this for 2 primary reasons.
First, so as not to annoy or compete with our distributors who often have to buy in bulk to get discount.
I have stuck my neck out more than usual to help LZ's to get a better discount on the recent P38 FCR group buy Paul did, but this was / is a new and pretty unknown product, and getting it known and recognised for how good it is sooner rather than later is / was a prevelent factor that distributors can only also ultimately benefit from.
Second, we wholey appreciate boards such as this giving us some lattitude in respect of the commercial aspects of our presence. It's good to be here anyway to answer questions, bring news and participate in general, But commerial wise, what goes around comes around and as such it is only fair that we do our best to promote growth and contribution to the board as best we can. So setting such requirements to attaining discount benefits from us is a respectful way to achieve this.
In your case Matt, while you do not technically meet the membership period, your post count, and more importantly your visible contribution to this board is more than sufficient for us to use our manegerial powers to also include you.
But thanks for asking
I kid you not, i had someone ask us for the discount on their very first post, having signed up only 2 hours before. When i declined they said they had been "using" the board for over 6 months but had only just joined. :doh:
