I'm not offering this, but I can see it in my head. So for those of you who are still wondering ... you can calculate the host's order without the extra item that you are offering and get her payment, then go back in & add the freebie. Then you can move things around until you find what's cheapest for you. Just don't accidentally omit something from her original order! Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to just print out her order before you start playing so that you can go back & confirm that you still have everything in there.Example: Let's say she had a $500 show and has a 25% discount. You could add in the extra DCB at 25% off (-$21.25) paying $63.75 out of your pocket. OR you can move stuff around. Let's say she has the DCB & the Rectangle Baker at 60% off and one of her 50% off items is a $10 item. You could bump the $10 item to the regular (25%) discount, bump the Rectangle Baker from 60% to 50% discount & add the DCB at 60% ... That's $7.50 (for the $10 item) + $24 (RB) + $34 (DCB) + $34 (DCB) - $58.20 (what she would have paid without your deal for her $10 item, RB & DCB) = $41.30 out of your pocket. You just saved yourself $22.45 by being creative.Now remember, if her 1/2 priced item is something big like a set of cookware or the knife block set, you certainly wouldn't want to change that! You'd definitely want to leave it as 50% off. But if you can move cheaper priced items into lower discount categories, then you'll save. Even though I'm not giving away anything, I always play to make sure that I'm getting the lowest price possible for the host. When you look at the numbers on P3, you have the full priced amount, - the FPV = subtotal - the host discount = SUBTOTAL ... it's that 2nd subtotal that counts! The closest that you can get that number to ZERO without leaving unused FPV, means you are giving the host the best possible deal! They might think they know what they want for free & what they want at 60% off or 50% off, but when you show them that you can save them $25 or even $2.50 by changing where something is on the discount list, they LOVE it! All of my hosts get excited regardless of the savings. LOL
