Name Your Price Sale...Seriously

Kind of funny that we talk about the season "ending" in February,
but such is home snowmaking...kind of sad! This year is a little
different though...

You see, each season we are left with tons of leftover parts that
we simply use in next year's design: no big deal. But this year,
the design is changing so much that most of our parts, if we don't
use them now, will be useless.

So, we could either return them to our suppliers, or, assemble them
into snowmakers and sell them. We've chosen to sell them, for two
reasons.

1) We recognize that snowmaking can be expensive for some people.
Because our alternative (returning the parts) means zero gain, we
can sell these snowmakers at whatever price we want.

2) I hate to return parts to a company that my be struggling during
tough economic times when each of their orders may be precious.

With that said, here is how this "end of season sale" will work. On
Thursday, February 12, we will send out an email at which time you
can begin "making offers" on whichever snowmaker you choose.

When you "make an offer" you are basically naming the price for
your snowmaker. You can make as many offers as you want, so you
might as well start low.

Within an hour of your offer, you will get an email back from us
saying we either accept your offer or making you a counter offer.
If we accept, we will send you a link where you can purchase your
snowmaker at that price. That link will be valid for 24 hours.
After that period, your snowmaker will be once again up for grabs.

As some of your know, when we have a sale, our snowmakers go fast
(orders usually begin coming in within 2 minutes of the sale
starting). This time, they will go even faster and quantities are
limited. We'll try to make sure everyone has a chance to get one,
but once they are gone, they really are gone.

So, keep an eye out for the email on Thursday and be thinking
about which snowmaker you want and what you want to pay for it.

And one more thing...Happy Valentine's Day!
