I’ve noticed that some sources run discount promotions all year long. With all the fake and underdosed gear going around i myself am very hesitant to jump on discounted sale promotion at this time.

At a certain point, a constant sale stops being a promotion and just becomes the regular price framed as a deal. It would be more transparent to simply present straightforward pricing instead of ongoing “limited time” discount offers that never actually end. I realize its a sales tactic, but fuk...

I’m curious if others see this the same way. It feels like one of those marketing tactics where urgency is manufactured, even though the price never changes.

Has anyone else caught onto this or do you still feel motivated by these perpetual “promotional discount sales ”?
