Might just be me, but I've been following the cost of a few items since the clothing sale kicked off and non of them have been reduced beyond day one?

I though everything under the advert link would be reduced by 15% each day?

I had a look at this when the email arrived- not because I wanted to buy anything, but because I've been curious about some of crc's price movements and advertising for a while.

Email was sent Wednesday @ 11.54, with the pricedrop info (pricedrop at 11am each day), but only a finishing date, no starting date- last price drop on Friday am.
Sorting the stuff on pricedrop by discount revealed that half a dozen items had no reduction applied at all at that stage, so presumably the discounting occurred Thursday and Friday morning only.

Hmm... Yeah, I don't think any of the things I'm watching have dropped today

Yeah, may be some increased discount each day, but doesn't look like 15% to me on the things I've browsed

don't forget it's always 15% of the current price so;

Day 1 = £15 off a £100
Day 2 = £12.75 off £85
Day 3 = £10.80 off £72.25

so you're saving less than 40% after 3 days.

and given the problems they may not have applied todays...

Yes, but no price reductions were applied until Thursday... so around 27% for the two days it actualy runs for. And some items were already heavily reduced, so the reductions were applied to the selling price, not rrp.

Just to update, today's 15% offs have now struck. Some really nice stuff in this one, and not all in outsizes either. Just trying to narrow down my shopping list to non-bankrupting levels.

If you're after raceface kneepads, there's tons- D30, standard and hard pads too. Some nice Royal kit as well, going to get me another dh jersey.

Just got some RaceFace D3O pads and Royal Crown gloves (my faves!) for £37. That'll do me!

Being unable to decide what to buy, I'm now waiting for things to sell out so that my basket shrinks.
