jonnyci Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 The LOR Summer Sale usually happens this time of year. Anyone got any scoop?
jonnyci Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 Wasnt looking for specifics in regards to pricing or items, just really as to when it may be happening.
LOR Staff Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 IF we have a sale, we start dropping hints about a week before the event so please keep an eye on our website (http://www.LightORama.com) and/or our forums (http://forums.LightORama.com.) We also send out an email right before the sale begins. Be sure to sign up at http://www1.lightorama.com/email-signup/ Anyone that says they know anything about a sale who isn't part of LOR can not be relied upon to have correct information. 1

mcha Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 This is the second time a response has been started by a big IF. Just remember there is only 89 days until Nov 1st. 1
Larry Leonhardt Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Don't need a scoop, No Blue Bell ice-cream yet.... 1
Ron Boyd Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Unless the PixCon 16 is released before or just prior to the sale, I'm afraid I won't be participating this summer.
George Simmons Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 How about if it's released DURING the sale?
Ron Boyd Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 How about if it's released DURING the sale?Well, that too.
larryk5 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 There is a post about it in the important announcement section of the form, but it doesn't say much. In fact it's the same response that Mike gave in this thread.
LOR Staff Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Here's the thing folks. There are only 2 people in the entire company that know if/when a sale will be held. Those 2 people are Dan & Mary. That is the reason you see a lot of 'IFs' and 'Usuallys'. Dan and Mary insulate us from all the sales drama stuff (thankfully!) by simply not giving us the information. That way we don't get bombarded with questions like: When is the sale?What is on sale?Is 'x' on sale?When does the sale end?Are there any special discounts?What will the price of 'x' be?....When we do get those questions, we can be honest and say "We don't know", because we don't. Usually we find out about the sale at the same time you do. Well, that's a lie. Usually we get a days notice so we can be ready to be killed with questions the following day. Questions like: What is on sale?Is 'x' on sale?When does the sale end?Are there any special discounts?What will the price of 'x' be?....At which time we can again honestly say "We don't know" since we didn't get that info either So that we don't get accused of playing favorites, everyone gets the canned response:"We start dropping sale hints about a week before the event so please keep an eye on our website (http://www.LightORama.com) and/or our forums (http://forums.LightORama.com.) We also send out an email right before the sale begins. Be sure to sign up at http://www1.lightorama.com/email-signup/"

But when is the sale for us Gold Members this year?Sorry. Gets old doesn't it? Edited August 4, 2015 by Mega Arch 2
ezimnow Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) No it doesn't get old as I specifically became a Gold member just to get first Dibbs during the Spring and Summer Sale.....So I was told anyway. Edited August 4, 2015 by ezimnow
Papa6058 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Us platinum members got our emails last weekend. It was embedded in our windows 10 downloads as a Christmas light wrapped inside a snow ball hidden in an Easter Egg Papa 2

Questions like: Is 'x' on sale? What will the price of 'x' be? So you don't know about x, But what about Y Is Y going to be on sale?
George Simmons Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe Dev Mike was told a couple days ago to start dropping hints? C'mon guys, am I the only sharp tack in the drawer? Edited August 5, 2015 by George Simmons
Don Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe Dev Mike was told a couple days ago to start dropping hints?C'mon guys, am I the only sharp tack in the drawer? I will say that Mike was right. That canned answer has been in the help desk for at least 2 years now.
LOR Staff Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Honestly: I know NOTHING about IF/WHEN a sale will occur. I actually PREFER it that way. I don't like to lie, so by withholding the information from me (and the other schlubs who you may come in contact with) we don't have to. If eventually one is scheduled, I'll know at about the same time that you will.
