Dear· Moderators and Members


· I have came up with an idea that will blow the roof on the buyers and members of parallax.
if they have a special 25% to 50% sale. This·will bring hundreds and thousands of people to parallax.
And also they should·have more tournament's, contest's,·and sweepstakes. And also a special sale like buy one get one half off or 25% off. It really depends on them, but this a greet idea.

    Wow, Batman... you are learning... I actually followed what you said!· Parallax does run sales and good deals a lot of the time... check out the "Sale" section· http://www.parallax.com/search_results.asp?PAGE=1&txtsearchParamCat=ALL&txtsearchParamMan=ALL&txtsearchParamVen=ALL&txtSale=1

    Remember, this is a hobby, and all hobbys are expensive... Parallax tries to sell stuff for as little as they can.· There are a lot of costs to running a business.... something you will understand when your a bit older!

    Wow of course i know about business costs. I also know that they have a few products on sale.
    But they could put a little sweepstakes, and contest on top of that. Not like the ink jet printer contest, but a better contest
    which people will be willing to participate in.

    Batman,

    One reason you won't see the BASIC Stamp modules available with a big discount is because such sales are often disruptive to our distributors (Jameco, DigiKey, and others). Lots of silly business reasons, but we get asked questions from them like "well, Parallax, how about passing us the same discount you give customers ON TOP of our regular discount so we can participate in this excellent promotional idea". Sometimes this means we pay to sell them stuff. Maybe this is why our marketing department favors discounts on new products, new kits, sensors, etc. that are not the main core of our product line (like BASIC Stamps).

    But we still have a problem. You have only twenty-two bucks and you need a BASIC Stamp. We need to figure this one out. What's your locale - if you were nearby I'd just give you a factory-blemished module to get you started. EBay won't help much with shipping charges, but a Parallax sale would help with USPS postage (as you originally requested).

    Batman,

    Contact me after January 1st, 2006 via kgracey@parallax.com and we'll make arrangements to spend your twenty bucks AND meet your needs. That board from eBay isn't going to get you started - it's just a carrier board. In the meantime please remove your "Screwed" (you didn't spell this correctly, BTW) signature line if you are going to expect some support from this crowd.

    Thanks,

    Ken

    bad idea Batman
    ever go to a arts and craft show not a flea market
    quality in products offered and pride in the same products offered, support and knowledge is paramount. I opened my Christmas gift today [noparse]:D[/noparse] even the extra ups next day air was worth it
    ya hooo
    I had the board of education up and communicating with my laptop after the troubleshooting phase it was a WOW! . review my sandbox post ive done alot of things "calamities" a long time ago ...
    wow, im getting old, lol
    just my "ole fart" opinion

    I think it's a mistake to cater to "Batman."· He has plenty of money, read his posts, he's hardly a charity case.

    What about what PJ said, that you do not understand?

    And as a long time member and sometimes user of the splendid Basic Stamp technology I strongly suggest you go back and re-read KG's posting.· There is a newer· posting in this thread, I suggest you go back and read it concerns why you should go back and re-read KG's posting. Spelling also counts points towards a proper reply. nono.gif
