Are we seriously debating on how to spend more money with Shane. Wow..reverse capitalism?
Trying to help Shane figure out how to prevent people from gaming the system and provide us with excellent deals and run a profitable business. The dialogue also provides some comfort that...hey..were good with whatever and ain't going anywhere.

That......or Shane has a VIP room of 1/5s and every 100 bucks (or whatever number), they get a trip in
I love this idea!! Makes you feel all fancy

Can't wait to make a video pulling that hyper pink out-of the box
I'm so jealous of that! I was looking to snatch it in VIP, then it was gone already when I got there! It's going to be an awesome shroom! I can't wait to see the pictures!

Yeah..i actually felt guilty...but more of the fact that I am probably going to kill the sps i picked up. On the bright side, they were my cheapies so i dont feel so bad.

Haha, I like his idea.

I also like Post Malone dressed up, it is the epitome of an oxymoron, looks so out of place with all his face tats. Somehow, I imagine @woodyarmadillo could dress up as him for Halloween.

We are setup very well to be profitable and adapt as we go when somebody checked out 7 6ers and only gets 1 1er and pairs it with 1 coral and gets free shipping we lose money. This actually never happened to us in the 2 Years we did business so to prevent this in the future we will have stronger rules to prevent this is all. Like I said no worries at all becouse technically everybody played by the rules :) we learn as we go and this surley won't happen again
Sounds like you're growing and that's great! It just seems odd that if a couple of people get super cheap corals you lose money over the 110(I might be wrong) orders. I would have thought you could just bump the price of individual corals up by $1-2(generating approx $400-800 extra profit on the WYSIWYG) to ensure you make enough profit that it doesn't force you to spoil the experience for the other 100+ customers.

we are here to support you as you grow.

... are you actually blaming Shane?

Like, seriously... it really sounds like you're blaming someone who has been fair and generous for the actions of people who would take advantage of him.

That's messed up, not gonna lie.
what?!?! there is zero blame in what I said. please don't read between the lines if that's how you reached that conclusion. There's not even enough information to pass judgment....

no one can make perfect choices every time and it sounds like he's just making adjustments as he grows..

please don't be so quick to pass judgment, give people the benefit of the doubt.

I wonder how many of us would spend a $100 just to sit in the golden room with all those shinies glitter in our eyes. Unable to commit...
You’d spend $100 and probably get it right back . I’ve never seen a vendor do giveaways like SBB. I’m not even mad spending $25 after getting a $1 torch.
