So it feels a little odd making sure we do this formally about the marketplace:
Nothing to report. No sales, people holding out to see how high it goes. We'll start with $1,500 worth of orders and move it up swiftly. 100% chance of it being 14% tomorrow.
In the meantime the second tier Marketplace is gearing up to be ready. Should be good by end of month, with merchant and bidding sections public but in testing. Still waiting on gold/silver but it is a go. GPUs, TigerDirect, bullion accesories & KNCMiner gear is also going to be added. Will be 'linking' in with any other merchant who would like all their products listed by us on the marketplace, to make it easier to browse and order anything you can buy in NOBL in one spot and at discount (Marketplace). Steps on the new platform will follow shortly.
Are you saying anything at all from TigerDirect, or just selected items, i.e. giftcards (if they have them)?
And yeah, people will wait. I don't see people really ordering much until you get near the high point of 30%ish. I mean, as a customer, why would you?
We can also try (maybe the next round?) another way of changing % during the promo:
- example 1: starting from 30% (day 1) and lowering by 1% every day (means rush, b/c the "today is the best deal, tomorrow will be worse" approach could last the whole round
- example 2: approach "you'll never know", say, you announce only the % for today: 15% or 20% or 25% or 30% (randomly)
- surely we can find another "strategies"
Edit: I'm almost sure that adding anything related to scrypt ASICs to the marketplace (any mining equipment) would bring A LOT of attention almost instantly.
