i donate all the proceeds to jbilohs pockets i get the pass
It makes sense for a high value deals, but lets say if I were to transfer a $10/yr VPS for free (or for exactly $10), the transfer fee will then be a bit too high. What I am proposing is giving it for free while trying to help increase engagement should be granted fee exemption.
(Since theres no easy way to tell whether theres any money involved behind the scene, a public giveaway will then be fair)
What you said is very correct, I agree ，But since there is no solution that can effectively solve the problem of scalpers, banning push is the only solution for the time being
Transferring for free is a positive aspect, too. I appreciate netcup and Cloudcone's free transfer codes.
Rats will run rampant on the streets 🐀
In all markets, items with high additional value, such as discounted goods, will always command high prices. This is unavoidable, even for a T-shirt with famous signatures.
Netcup's is fully automated. That works well since there's no human cost involved.
Plus their cancellation and contracts (as well as account verification) are a big barrier in general to scalping (I think).
Here if you made the transfer automatic, it would be a nightmare with accounts popping up purely to just setup a "ring" of transfers coupled with the rather long contract time (e.g. 3 year or even 2 years).
I wonder if the MJJs (and associated transfer problems) are mainly focussed on China friendly regions (Japan/HK/Singapore/LA and maybe Vietnam) and the other regions are not so problematic transfer wise?
It'll be interesting to get some data points on the transfer scenario to understand it better and come up with a solution (just like the VIP coupon which seems to have had good impact).
Please don't let them see me
Sure there's nothing left to try
I can feel the lighttt shineee on my faceeeeee
DID I DISAPPOINT YOUUUU
But I do see what Fat has done, and I appreciate it. Otherwise, I definitely cannot beat bots, which has been verified many times recently.
i think having the right balance to transfer / non transfer helps to incentivize us on future sales as well as continuously hunt for newer, faster deals.
now im at the greatest number of services ever from GCVPS, if it is a blanket restriction then i will unfortunately be tied for the next 2-3 years offering only moral support in future sales (and cry silently).
i do agree killing off scalping is a more pertinent issue at hand though.
What if an alternative is allow refund to store credit (of the remaining values) for flashy non-transferable deals, up to 1 per month or some sorts?
Anyway I do think scalper issue has largely been resolved with all the measures that we have so far, and the optimal amount of fraud is non-zero (A great article).
GB4-10K club!
Wow!
This is good, as I have duplicate services in the USA but do not need them all.
Wait so you have duplicate USA flash sale services?
It assists in reducing idling...
this is the tax department, open up
I got 50%off IL 66 in the past , now, I got LA, LA is much better.
Ah, okay
Only you have apples in your pocket; you can patiently choose which apple is better.
i honestly think the script seems like a great mitigation so far. have not put much thought into refund for other deals, but having $10 per transfer is also continuous revenue for gcvps. if this is automated like what HH did, its kind of a win win i believe.
That would definitely work (quite nicely) since many of the people who transfer are doing it more because of double/better products rather than scalping (like what @cybertech said - there's always a better deal round the corner if you can get it).
Absolutely which is why I think the sales are a lot more relaxed (the <75% discount ones that is - I think the > 80% discount are crazy as usual if not harder since the elite group is now competing amongst itself).
I wonder if @NDTN can share some insights into the campaign and how things have panned out (if not now maybe after the sales are over). It's definitely been one of the heavily visited threads and you can feel the slowdown when the deals hit or are about to hit
oh my chibisafe even have built in url shorten

I will be honest I feel a little bit bad for them. I encouraged them to do checkpoint deals for 200K, 300K, ... views which ultimately have backfired a little bit. The expenses / opportunity costs for this event is easily ~$10K from my observation.

regardless of the final decision, i will still be grateful and contented and be a proud green camper
the biggest 2-2k snatches were from that epyc vds for sure
You've found the point, if you want to eliminate scalpers, maybe offer an unlimited supply of goods, like ClawCloud does.

LOL it reminds me of some Facebook trend in the past. Facebook used to auto redirect any not found profile URL to your own so people creating some random URLs like
