Any idea when RamNode might offer a big discount for life?

When a company is heavily funded and is only looking to acquire a customer, they are ones who usually end up selling servers for super cheap. OVH, Hetzner, LiquidWeb are some of the examples.

I'm happy to announce to you all that RamNode has a new business plan! Instead of higher prices with discount coupons that look impressive in %, Nick has now decided to instead pre-discount the entire lineup and lower all prices by default, no coupons necessary!

Also this happened in 2014.

Or they could just double their prices and offer 50% discount for cheapskates like you.

I bet some people would buy after this.

"Wow, 50% off right now, I can't miss this chance"

New premium line. Mark it up by 80%, discount it by 75%. Laugh all the way to the bank...

For me it saves money. I could go to a bar, cinema or theatre but instead, I get some of my entertainment here for nothing.

I believe our local supermarket(Morrison) pulls this prank frequently.

£1 this week. £2 next week, but you can get it for £1 with 50% off. What a deal.

I also believe amazon changes its prices automatically all the time. Hence why there are service scraping amazon price changes.

We need more love, not hate, and your thoughts are not helping this.

My thought is to pay RamNode the full price they're asking. Explain to me why that is hate, or why there is more love in the demands for a deep discount. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this matter.

Your name describes you correctly. You might want to consult an English teacher if you couldn't understand what I meant.

I get what you were trying to say, but your math broke my brain for a second.

$1 item, marked up 80% == $1.80, now take 75% off.. $1.8 * .25 == $0.45...

Hot damn.

And you can laugh all the way to the bank for that markup cleverly disguised as a discount

That's the GVH math.
