You do have to buy two videos to save 10% and three to save more than that, so I'm with brokasclown in thinking this is not such a HUGE sale. There are major producers here who offer Buy 2 Get 1 Free deals not as special offers but all the time (MostWam and RevS spring to mind), and others who several times a year do 50% off or B1G1F (Ariel and Jayce, for instance, both do these).
Not saying you're obligated to do anything of the sort, of course. Some producers never do sales of any kind and one even brags about that fact (RobbyWLP). I'm just suggesting maybe you're setting expectations a bit high with the language in your subject header.

It's all good, you guys don't have buy anything. It's worked out pretty well so far.
It's really only a sale if it's something like "50% off all videos" or "buy one get one free". So many stores automatically have this 10% discount increase. Plus your screenshot doesn't prove much unless you wanna buy over $100 worth of videos which I don't imagine many ppl do. I'm not saying your content is bad or giving you hate, I'm just saying.

I know we've been looking for a cheap fix ever since the PH purge but come on.
And when did you, Gness, first start to take pleasure in extolling your idea that WAM producers are lofty beings far above any criticism from the plebian hoi polloi that you clearly see the general UMD membership as? It was awhile back, I can tell you that, because you've been making pompous statements like the above for some time.
To paraphrase what YOU say above: If you don't like what people are saying in a thread, then whatever happened to just moving on to read some other thread?
(And right, you could say the same to me: my commentary here is as unnecessary as your own. But I wasn't the one who advocated the "if you don't like it, move along" approach while simultaneously throwing out a bunch of insults at other posters, so please at least pretend to practice what you preach, or barring that, choke back your bile and stop spewing it on the forums.)
gness7 said:"Your sale isn't cheap enough for me" isn't a criticism, it's a whinge that says more about the poster than anyone else.
And yes, it used to be that when someone put out a sale, no matter how small, the replies would thank them or there would be no replies at all. So to answer your question: I started calling people whiners when they started to whine about the price of content they were never going to buy in the first place.
The OP initially billed this as a HUGE sale, which it demonstrably was not. He's since removed that language, presumably in recognition of this fact. But here you are, swooping in and "white knighting" him anyway!
The initial criticisms were specifically about that HUGE SALE language and the false expectations it created. You have no idea that the people making those posts wouldn't have bought the OP's videos if he had actually offered HUGE discounts without having to spend $50 or more ... or that some of them didn't buy some of his stuff regardless. You just knee-jerk assume the worst about anyone who's not a producer. I've seen you do it in thread after thread.
Most producers here are pretty chill, can roll with a bit of criticism, and don't consider themselves existing in some lofty realm above the vast majority of non-producing UMD members -- and props to Slapstick Babes for being one of that crowd. Meanwhile, you are so thin-skinned that you seemingly take offense any time a non-producer dares to say anything less-than-stellar about another producer. Please get over yourself and your notions of producer entitlement!
Rather than let this thread devolve into an endless argument, let's refocus on the quality work Slapstick Babes is offering, currently with discount pricing when you buy more than one video, as I am led to understand!
Agree. People can take advantage of the sale or discount offer if they want to, ignore if they don't. I often take advantage of offers like this to buy in bulk.

Silver_sea said: Actually it's only a sale if it comes from the Sale region of France. Anything else is a sparkling reduction.
I believe the only recognized exception to this rule is 7 time All Star and World Series Champion, Chris Sale.
I'm guessing that's a 'sports thing'..? I'll allow as apparently 'sports' is popular.
Couldn't tell ya-- as a Mariners fan I have no idea what this 'world series' you speak of is.
All seriousness, though? this isn't the biggest sale of all time, but a sale is a sale is a sale. if I were planning on getting more scenes from this store I'd probably be persuaded to grab a couple by this, although for the moment I have everything I've had my eye on.
