    I was about to order a monitor but phoned at 5.34 and realised Scan were closed.

    I did sign up before the offer was announced and certainly won't try to abuse the system so are you able to hint at what the minimum spend might be?

    Thanks.

    It is up for discussion between SCAN and myself. Please do not keep asking.

    No . *blatantly didn't mean it*

    If the ability to abuse the utility is there, people are bound to do it, and it's probably gonna continue until the minimum price limit has been implemented.

    Ok well Martin from MSE has posted in the OP's thread over at MSE forums to help affect people moral decisions about using it.

    I personally think that this will bring little benefit.

    however it does seem that SCAN have put in good measures to find abusers and to band them from hexus and the deal, so hopefully that will work quite effectively.

    The other day I was going to order a ASUS Terminator barebone system from SCAN until i got through to the checkout and found delivery on a £60 item to be £12. I certainly think this will bring more custom to SCAN, but on the other hand I do think its open for abuse.

    i think besides the minimum post count and minimum order value there should be a waiting period / minimum activity period after new people have joined hexus of say 30days.

    That would ensure as much as you can do that people are not abusing it as i dont think that many people would wait 30days if they were just going to abuse the system and i dont think it would discourage genuine ppl who want to participate in the forums as they would see the scan thing as a bonus and incentive and not the sole reason to join

    If you order over the phone then the carriage is slightly cheaper

    Whoa! hold up - I think this Scan idea sounds fantastico, and I've been a member of the Hexus community for a few months - but just 'cos I don't post unless I've got something to say, I should be exempt from this bargainliscious deal?!?

    BTW i'm all in favour of the min order val.

    Guys

    For those who are unaware there is a minimum post count as David has clearly stated, so please read it, dont ring up with 0 posts count,they are checked before i auth the order., i cannot auth these invoices or i will get shafted by the powers that be...


    Thx

    *EDIT* : Please Note that if you have not got the required number of post's IE, 25 then we cannot take the order, no matter how long you have been a member.
