Before we even had this forum, Pricescope was only diamond price comparison site and historically vendors listed stones here with special discount (common practice for price comparison sites). Thousands of people use it without registering on the forum...Date: 9/11/2006 11:25:37 AM

Whiteflash does the same.
Other vendors give everyone their lowest price without having to be a forum member.
Im not going to get into why I feel forum based discounts are unfair its been discussed to death before.
Bad wording on my part thanks for clarifying.Date: 9/12/2006 7:38:40 PM

Bottom line: it is not a ''member''s discount ''. One should not have to be a forum member or even read this forum to get prices listed in the database. All you have to do is to tell your vendor you found that price through the pricescope search to get the listed price.
hope this helps...
Storm, what in particular you don't like in this practice except it creates more competitive environment which should be beneficial for consumers?Date: 9/13/2006 4:57:51 AM

I still don't like the practice but its kewl there are lots of things I don't like.
I personally believe that most of the general public is astute enough to realize that pricing breaks and offers exist in many retail avenues, and it''s up to each individual to determine if they care enough about it to prusue it. I don''t see this as a "fairness" issue.I just feel its more fair for all consumers for the best price to be offered to everyone not just a select few.
It is kewl for PS visiters and great PR for the companies but sux for members of the general public who didnt find PS first.
