Question for Sellers - Omniscient - Nov 26, 2017
I'd like to propose an idea to some of the HF sellers in particular the ones who buy stickies and have more expensive VIP packages in their sales.
If I gave you a discount on stickies would you consider adding a free HF L33t upgrade to your top packages? Sort of might create good sales synergy. The member buys your product, you upgrade them, I give you a discount on stickies, and maybe even a new award particularly for those sellers involved in the program.
Any feedback on this concept?

I believe this would work out well, I like this idea.

I wouldn't mind helping out users by doing this.

Hell yeah. Would benefit everyone. If you'd be able to make a smooth and well-thought system, then it'd be great.

So would the sells have to be ran by you then to verify that they were upgrading users? I've read a few times that the staff don't get involved in HF deals, would you be completely cancelling out the sticky amount if they can provide sufficient upgrades to cancel the total cost out?
Edit; this could also be a problem proposed by this -
>user realizes they can get discounted sticky from you
>proxy, build up a post count maybe 100 or so on a few accounts
>purchase ebook, they lose no money BESIDE the upgrade and they can +rep themself AND ALSO get a sticky discounted
Seems like some wild shit and too much to go through but still, possible

So you give us, say 20% off stickies, and in return when someone buys our most expensive package we upgrade them to L33t for $20?
Crunching the numbers in my head doesn't come out too favorably for myself but my most expensive package isn't that expensive, the award would be a nice incentive though. This also confuses me on the usual "HF doesn't get involved in marketplace deals" rule.

Not a bad idea only problem is chargebacks. If I upgrade someone because they bought my highest tiered package they could then chargeback after they receive the upgrade meaning a free upgrade and my highest tiered package.

It has peeked my interest for sure. Worth getting feedback on.
RE: Question for Sellers - Varane - Nov 26, 2017
Wouldn’t this just make everyone raise their products prices to get the discount on stickies?

Maybe include it only for BTC payments. That could be a solution.

That rule has nothing to do with what is being proposed.
But regarding the numbers thing;
It could work. It depends on what you as a seller could offer.
If i would make a package in my doxing sales thread for example;
Mentoring/support, ebook copy, leet upgrade == $60
Then that could be beneficial even WITHOUT omni's discount. But of course it would be nice with a % off.
With that being said. Will start working on making such package for my sales thread(s).

Yeah, very true. Most of my eBook sales were in PP so it would incentivize users to buy via BTC more often.
RE: Question for Sellers - reBELLYus - Nov 26, 2017
I mean I buy a sticky in the service offerings section weekly and have been for years now. I would definitively roll this out - I'd have no problem doing it.
RE: Question for Sellers - Riyu - Nov 26, 2017
Discount on stickies + automated sticky system would be perfect.

Would love to do this somehow, but it would have to be only crypto, sad thing is this image below from my sales on HF.
