Non transferrable clause was added yesterday. I got a VDS on the first day of the sale.
Can that be transferred (since I got a ryzen one) after 30 days ?
I hate to be that guy, but I vote for no transfer except as a giveaway in this thread.
was that 93% off?
dunno why LET has been slow loading for me since this morning
well I got one $6.8 and $7 dollah 9950x [imo it would have been better for 4 GB ram 9950x approx same
but I have it distributed ]
EDIT: I meant someone do a giveaway and give that resources so I can add that up to my above specs
no ! Otherwise I would never transfer it .
although i don't really mind, but would prefer to be able to transfer those before the clause were added since i have a habit of curating after
Very pleasant to listen to! Soft yet powerful!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LOCK UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP
No transfer policy should have been imposed from the first day of the sale.
I got a VDS on 60% discount, but chose wrong location (mea culpa) . I can still live with that (and use it) , but I might transfer , if that's allowed .
Would support allow a move? Some providers do if there’s space, even if it might include a one off fee.
Asked about this by ticket before, changing location for promotional packages is not allow.
That is $10, and a 30-day cooling period.
Not permitted for promotional offers, attempted as well.
I'm definitely on the fence here. In the frenzy (mea culpa of course), I end up buying things in a hurry without always being right. Sometimes, a little later there's another opportunity to fix things (like 2G vs 4G or location). So you end up with both.
I'd rather be able to transfer some of the less useful (to me) ones to someone else (defintely not profiteering if that's the main concern).
Not being able to upgrade is also an issue - that would be my first priority (e.g. 2G to 4G or 500GB storage to 1TB or something similar).
I hear you though on preventing the pure scalping aspect but I don't quite know how to regulate and also maybe help the genuine users who do make mistakes as well.
I hope there's a decent middle ground to allow a little more balanced options.
The middle ground is let me be the gatekeeper of transfers.
All transfers have to come to me for approval and I will decide who is worthy and who is not.
i dont support moving since it gets real messy, but support transfer for those before non-transfer clause applied.
anyway how tf did I get to 10 services now
I think the issue here is I would prefer an option that's easier for the provider. They already have quite some workload and I dont hope they have to add even more load because of it.
Giveaway on the other hand feels fair because it also creates interaction in this thread thus drive more views etc, so provider have more incentive on allowing it.
Either way I am unfortunately still not sure how to best handle scalpers.
Scalp em
Or is that a bit too extreme
Edit: I think the no transfers should hopefully help but.

(/discussion/comment/4314836/#Comment_4314836):
Just so I'm clear that was 100% a joke because you said you were going to spend hours looking at the past replies and mentions.
I trust @FAT32 with my nudes
Agreed on provider work load. There is still the $10 fee that hopefully covers the transfer "effort" for the provider? I guess based on the services, it'll also be very clear to the provider on who's "upgrading" to a better one (hence transfer) vs pure scalping (maybe volume will also be much higher for the scalpers)?
Unfortunately they don't allow any refund (even to account credit) in such instances - this would instantly stop scalping because you can't transfer.
I don't quite know how to figure this out either.
So I could legally give away a 2222 BF plan right? It's from last year BF.
I think that in flash sales where it is clearly marked that the server is not transferable, this is how it should be implemented. Flash sales are for everyone who needs it to buy it, not for mjj and scalpers to hype it up and deliberately increase the value of the server. Flash sales are for users who need to use the same configuration and location to own and use it at a lower price. I hope that all flash sales servers can be banned from push (even if you pay the $10 push fee). If you change your login email for a period of time, it is different from the previous login IP. please delete your account directly
the main thing is just decide before buying like when the 95-96% off comes don't buy and think then buy them ok guys?
anyway whats important is I got one 7.75
Mistakes have happened, wrong products are selected, locations may be different. Sometimes it's all right to "pay" for your error. Sometimes it's good to be able to give it away to someone who has a better use case for it. Also, a 3 year lockin can be pretty harsh mistake wise.
I'm saying all this from BEFORE the VIP code fix and the no-transfer clause, when it was a sheer mad frenzy to just complete the order and not everyone does the right thing.
Moving forward, I think it's going to be much better (relaxed) due to the way the sales work now.
A ~15 to $20 transfer fee makes sense in this case. Service transfer does create additional workload on the provider end, but a $15 to $20 transfer fee should be more than enough to cover it. I'd be happy to do that if I were the provider, given that both clients have accounts in good standing. It also significantly reduces the scalpers' profit margin.
Wait weren't you selling yours to MJJs
finally waited till this day
