Not it isn't. Genuine customers are more important than people who only join to enter competitions. The competitions are for the actual customers. Just my opinion, but promotion of the site would work better if you could freely enter, rather than have to buy something to enter. More people would hear about the site then. Just my two cents.

The competition isn't for promotion. The competition is too get more customers. They don't care about visitors, they care about buyers.

They don't care about visitors, they care about buyers. You seem to know an awful lot about this for someone who doesn't work for them ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D LOL kidding Lance, let's just leave it at this and call this debate a draw.

A draw? You have yet to prove a point. Alright... let's keep going. I have actually, you just disagree with them (which is fine). people abusing the right of being a customer to enter competitions, but not actually being a customer. So are you saying you abused the right by entering the KZONE Revenge Tour competition - even though you don't buy the magazine?

If K-Zone had of said you need the magazine, I wouldn't have whinged, I just wouldn't enter. That's the point of it. Your whinging about people who buy wrestling stuff get more chances then people who don't.

The whole point of the competition is to convince people to buy the stuff, and they can also win the competition, which adds a pro to the buying argument. Letting people enter for free does not help with profit in any way.

Why are you so concerned about how much profit WWE OzShop makes and ways they may not make profit? Where did I say I was concerned. You claimed it was unfair that only $100 purchaser's could enter. There is nothing unfair about it. People who spend money on shopzone are rewarded.

Where did I say I was concerned. Not directly you didn't but if you want examples then: 1) They don't care about visitors, they care about buyers. 2) Genuine customers are more important than people who only join to enter competitions. 3) People who spend money on shopzone are rewarded 4) The $100 is to filter out people abusing the right of being a customer to enter competitions, but not actually being a customer. There we go, without directly saying it, these comments of yours show that they want genuine customers, therefore increasing the amount of profit they make. I will conclude my argument by saying that a $100 purchase for an entry says a lot about their target audience. For many people, $100 is a lot of money to be spending on merchandise, and the price limit shows that they are trying to appeal to the group of people with that kind of money to spend on wrestling merchandise, not just the ordinary people who might not have $100 to blow on a T-shirt, wrestling belt or similar. Possibly keep the purchase to enter, but not have a price limit, just 'Purchase any product to be in the draw'. I have no interest in furthering this argument, so Lance, if you want to declare yourself the winner, go ahead and do it, I can't be bothered trying to prove my point any further.

Tajiri Tarantula... Do u know how much this would cost them to get all this stuff for this competition... roughly $6000.. why would they waste that money then give it away for free.. uhhhh.. NO! not gonna happen... if you think about $100 is nothing to what you get out of it.. You pay $100.. you get: Your merchandise in which you perchase [glow=red,2,300]PLUS!!![/glow] If you win then you get... free return tickets to America.. 2 Tickets to a WWE LIVE PPV and Accomodation in an expensive hotel close to the event.. possibly where the wrestlers are staying... You find it unfair thjat you have to pay $100 to get all that!! I'm surprised its not like $500!! I can't belive you feel that it should be free.. all that will do is bankrupt their company and never let them give people these chance ever again! So don't feel that just cause ur not a big enough wrestling fan to buy something off their site and enter a competition, other people are!!!

I QUOTE YOU: Yes true, but the price limit shouldd be just like $45 instead of $100 cause then it encourages more shirt sales than what an overall price of two shirts does Now you're saying that it should be $500. How can I take you seriously when first you say $45, then you say $500.

Yeah that was originally what I was thinking but I changed my mind because I actually thought about it. And only true wrestling fans would know and it is obvious that you aren't one because you like Tajiri!
