I might want to throw this out there but if grandio is giving a 25% discount, in the name of competition, why can’t the people on here representing stores match the price and get the business instead of grandio? Seems like it would be best to help out people we actually care about. Just my $0.02
I can do 15% off items that are slow salers, but not my full Windstone stock. But not 25% sorry guys. I can also do free shippin inside the US. I can only offer Windstone on sale for a limited time (starting 1/23 for a week) New Years sale!
I would guess Grandio can offer free shipping and %off sales because they have been around for quite a while and they sell other things that can offset the discounts. It’s nice that they offered 25% off. I always appreciated the free shipping, though – that’s why I’ve stuck with them. Maybe (probably) my savings are an illusion, but there’s that psychology again. lol Not to mention, their site is kept updated and it’s very easy to see what they have available. Personally, I hate one picture with dropdown color choices. That’s just me, though.
It’s not a money issue. It’s that fact that they have signed a contract with Windstone saying they will not sell items for less then the set Windstone price. Windstone did this wiht their venders to make sure they do not de value their work.
I do not however know if there is anything in that contract able being able to put the items on sale
I would have to assume all retailers pay the same wholesale prices for Windstone. The retailers chose their markups within reason, with a set “floor” from Windstone. Some may chose to make more money on a few people. Others choose to offer a sale and therefore make more money overall on increased sales. If the retailer sets their price too high, the market will not support it and their product will not move.
You’d think that would be the case, but emerald said that her contract specifies what she has to sell the items for (which is what DM pointed out):emerald212 wrote:I don’t know how Grandio can have a sale because I have a minimum of what I can sell the items for (in my contract with Windstone), and I already sell them at that price.
I wish I could have a sale sometimes. I have a couple of candlelamps that aren’t moving.
I can not remember where I heard it from but I do remember the saying. Maybe it was from one of the phone calls I was making to get my white en Emerald ones

Trio of Dragons CandlelampI haven’t been following this very well… Emerald, are those two candlelamps what you’re offering a discount on?

she’s trying to sell because they aren’t moving…
she really can’t offer a discount on them…
Okay, thanks for the clarification. I’ve been wanting a Trio candlelamp since seeing it the frist time… I need to check this out.

it’s a cool candlelamp…I’ve had mine for a long time
I’m tempted. But I’ve already bought $500 worth of Windstones within a week. That’s half my CC. I need to rein in – at least until the end of the month.

Just until the end of the month??? 😆
Don’t pressure me! I’m spending way too much money on all this. I’m planning a big trip – I could go around the world on the money I spend on Windstones!

me too….a few times…
but only to the places I like…hehe
I have a lot of places I need to visit when I come to the States, from one end of the country to the other, and some expensive pieces of gear I want to bring home with me. I think after CC-paying for the white curl and the Trio CL this month, I’m going to call it quits until I’ve cash-paid for them. I’m postponing the BEP until next month and that’s that.
