How much would you like to pay for Ashampoo software? :-)

Its just a con.Unless you name a price very near to the price offered ,it gets rejected and you just get bombarded with ashampoo emails for other products.I fell for that when i named a fair price for their office suite many moons ago

After testing them with 2 cheaply price offerings, I would say that you are probably right. Even if they have some decent softwares available at fairly prices if taking on their rebates. I just don't digest the sour gimmicky feel let by their spamming twist!

At most, I could continue to use some of their numerous free versions that I already had stashed on a back cd, when/if need be. And, anyways and as already stated by some posters here, we have a great choice among other softwares (and many real freewares) to choose from, as might be better alternatives to even their most decent ones, IMO...

And I have already closed the throwaway addy given to them!

 

If you want cheap A shampoo products-the best idea is to wait for their genuine sales,not the auctions-where the discounts never equal the sale prices.

For example once picked up their Office product for $10.

 

That is true, Coo. I got Burning Studio 8 for 19.95USD which regularly sells for 49.95. I do not get that many emails from them but if you wait for a while a deal like this shows up.

 

Hi Mitch,

You got the pick of the bunch

 

Another little scam which happens all the time if you dont pay in $US-is being offered a product for example at $US9.99-then the order page lists it at $17.87-instead of $11.67 after conversion from $US.

Their marketing Dept is too clever for their own good

 

I'll bid a reasonable range from 89 cents up to 15 smackers, and thats my final offer.

 

Thats not necessarily always the case. Their photo commander 6 usually sells for $49.99, recently i offered them $9.99 and they accepted it.

 

I think it is already on sale!
Hope you asked for the free bonus

 

Glad you got something out of them.Theres obviously a minimum they will accept so all this "pick a price" for each individual,is just marketing hype.I wish they'd just say "today you can have it for "x amount" .

No i never got the free bonus .

 

Yeh it is just marketing hype but they do occasionally send out emails saying you can have this product for x amount.

 

If you make them an offer of $19.95 for the Burning Studio 8 will they take it?

 

Actually before 8 was released I got an email from them saying I could preorder 8 for 19.95. I believe I got 7 in the same manner.

 

I found 8 much the same as 7 so not much of a bargain for me.

 

Looks like they'll take $9.99 for it, just got an offer via email to day.

Yes, or if you do not want them to clogg your email spam box, you could take an online read of their recent offerings there.

I finally went for their last offer (Photo Commander 6 + Photo Optimizer 2 + WinOptimizer 4 = $9.99).
