Why is 43% off not a hot deal?

[luscious]

I don't get it. I also don't get why 43% off some things are hot deals but 43% off other things are not hot deals.

If 43% off is not a hot deal maybe there should be a guideline about what the minimum percentage off is for something to be posted in hot deals

What you are posting is Amazon's everyday price, Yes its 43% off the MSRP however Amazon NEVER uses the MSRP. You continually are posting the same thread over and over(I believe 3rd or 4th time), I believe that one was on its 3rd go around. Look at all of Amazons preorders they are about the same percentage off. What you are posting is not a Hot Deal

No I'm not. The price dropped to 43% off just a few hours ago. And most preorders are not 43% off. Most new releases are not 43% off. They are usually around 30% off.

And there was only one other thread in hot deals that I posted about it and that was for walmart and you eventually locked it and so I could hardly post in that thread with an update on amazon's price.

I also don't get why all the other threads by other people have less than 43% off and yet you don't lock those threads.

You should make yourself clear. Is it the duplicate thread that was the problem or that you didn't think it was a hot deal? If you didn't think it was a hot deal you should provide a guideline for what counts as a hot deal and use it consistently for everyone. It's hard to follow a guideline when you don't offer one or make clear what it was that bothered you.

and you are wrong about amazon never using MSRP. Lots of DVDs at amazon sell at MSRP and yes blu-rays almost never do but that's not the point anyway. Amazon uses MSRP to help determine its sale price. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Technically they would be using primarily their wholesale price and marking it up from the wholesale price (although for consumer retailer I guess a lot of it is marketing and so MSRP is more important than wholesale price ... I used to work in this business but not on the consumer side)

I just noticed you moved the 60% off Godfather trilogy out of hot deals ... so that's not a hot deal either?

It has to be a certain percentage less than what Amazon is offering to be considered a hot deal I believe. Since Amazon's prices are so good, anything less than what they offer is a "hot deal."
