| Just had an order for $5, for 112 items. We don't charge any fees over $2.00
part value and postage is at exact cost. Our part prices are currently at average
or below, and then we have 25% off that on all parts. I have just invoiced the
customer and they have had the cheek to message me to see if they can get a discount
off the invoice price because they have had over 100 parts. I politely replied
with no as they are already discounted and even though it may be 100 parts it
is a small value order and we are not a charity and that he was welcome to cancel
the order.
Obviously think our time and costs are free, some people will try anything,
Have a nice day everyone!

Can't blame them for trying...  I wouldn't think of doing that, but
as long as they're polite (and stay polite after you refuse), I wouldn't
be annoyed. On a side note, I'm sure only a tiny percentage of buyers realize
how much work is being done behind the scenes; and not just in Bricklink shops,
that's true for all business.

Actually I would blame them for trying. Just more work to have to respond and
explain why we're not going to do it. All for a cheezy $5.00 order.

Sometimes I may try to get an additioanl discount on an expensive minifgure,
or a set that isnt selling well on bricklink, but never an order liek that.
Can't blame them for trying.....

112 items, but how many lots?
I mean, if it’s in 1 lot (more, if they took all your remaining parts), it’s
an easier order for you than if it’s 112 lots, and it may be worth a discount,
no?

They are free in the sense of not charged as extras but included in the advertised
prices.
But if they wanted a discount they should have asked before placing the order.
