GoHunt

Gohunt is running a 20% off sale. I grabbed a Western Moutaineering Badge long bag for $572. Am I crazy or do these bags never go on sale?

Good deal, I watched them for 2 years and never caught any deal.
Enjoy.

Rare but on occasion they will go on discount. Most vendors exclude WM and be ineligible.

Example tried them on 14x52 Pures.....didnt work. Lol.

With all their sales and givebacks on promo codes.... I'm still not sure how they make money

Markup is usually 30-35%. So even at 20% off, they’re making 10-15%…

Thats mfg markup or on top of mfg?
Their list pice is the same as the manufacturer direct.

Any other codes out there to stack? Free shipping?

Shipping to AK for 10 Peak meals is more than the 20% savings.

Most products on the market have to be sold at a certain price point. The manufacturers wholesale to vendors (i.e. GoHunt, BlackOvis, etc) these vendors sell them for that listed price which is the same as the manufacturer. The wholesale price is roughly 30-35% less then list price. Sometimes vendors have to have permission from the manufacturer to list items on sale. Sometimes vendors aren't allowed to have sales, or allow discount codes on certain brands. Like Stone Glacier...I haven't found a single GoHunt discount code that is valid on SG items.

They're leveraging what the gambling industry does which is no shock considering their background. With things like free shipping and "points" they're hooking people who will come back more and more. "Oh, I have $10 in shop credit? That means I can get that $100 widget for $90?!".... It's a proven method, and I'm guessing it's working quite well for them.

Yeah, and to be honest rewarding/enticing prior customers to come back and do repeat business has been around for a LONG time so I wouldn't necessarily correlate it to gambling, rather business in general.
