Black Friday Discount

Good on you. Black Friday is a freaking gimmick if there ever was one. Hold a sale when it makes sense to (as you did before the last price increase), not just because the retail world are losing their minds over marketing hype. And, really, Xenforo's model isn't consumer retail but b2b software supplier.

/Rant off
 
Someone on my forum snapshotted a popular retailer's products he was interested in and waited for the advertised BF deals - the same products were increased in price by 10% with, you guessed it, a 10% off BF special offer !

It's kidology, sure there may be a few deals around with tat and old stock being shifted at low prices, but no one in their right mind would sell popular products at discounted prices in the run-up to Christmas when stocks are being sold at normal prices - not unless they're in the habit of giving money away.

Companies in their right mind do it all the time, and have done it for over a century. It's where the term "loss leader" comes from.

Yes, there are shady companies that raise prices before "discounting", but there are many examples of companies doing it legitimately.
 
I've had a license in my cart for several days. Not because I was waiting until today, but simply because I forget it was still in a tab.

I just found that tab again, and saw that the "XenForo License" price was $160. Then it changed almost immediately back to $195. Huh? So I hit F5, and you can see it load "Total $160.00" then immediately $195 again.

That's weird. Did I miss something?

"12 Month Extension" is also $50 for a partial second. I think these are the prices from a few years ago?

You probably need to clear your cache from the old cart data.
The price is $195 and extensions are $60 year for each year after the initial purchase.

Do you perhaps have a lot of licenses in your account? There is volume licensing.
