Does V-Carve ever go on sale?

[Kingjamez]

I refuse to pay full price for anything over $20.00, and I am convinced that V-Carve is the right software for me. So does anybody know if it ever goes on sale?

Not so far, and doubt it will any time soon, the software is worth it IMO. Don't forget not only you get the software but you get great support and also the support of their forum and experience from may who use it, Allot of other software you will get, you will find out to get an answer or examples on how to do different projects will simply not be there. But if you refuse to buy anything at full price that is your choice, and I would think you will be waiting a while.

This reminds me of my mom who will drive across town to get an item on sale. (she spends more on gas than she saves on an item). LOL

Kingjamez,

Vectric products MORE than pay for themselves in just the first couple of paying jobs. Compare Vectric VCarve's features, ease of use, minimal learning curve, fantastic (and quick) tech support, no cost to low cost product updates, great user forum, built in raster to vector conversion, and a growing feature set to similar applications and you will see that VCarve Pro is ALREADY ON SALE.

If you haven't already, download the trial version of the software and give it a try for yourself. Browse through the Vectric forum to see what everyone else is talking about and doing with Vectric's software offerings.

Just 2¢ worth from a more than satisfied customer.

V Carve is my first CAD program and the price was a bit of a shock to me at first. After having and using it I find the price is small for what it can do. I am amazed. I haven't even used all the features so I still have a lot to look forward to. If I added up the time it has saved me from me trying to figure out how to do things on my own, it's worth it. It's a good program.....great support.....good help from the forum. I don't know if it's the best but if it does everything I need so why keep searching? When I find my keys...I stop looking for them

VCARVE PRO 4.5 is marvellous:-)

In that case as you never pay full price for anything over $20 and just as a one off for you, make 35 payments of $17.11

Dido to everything that was already said!

I'm a bit confused....why do you never pay full price for anything over $20 ? If you can't afford it then I'd say save your pennies for as long as required and eventually you'll have an excellent piece of software which is worth every cent (And then some!). If however you can afford it, but you just have some sort of issue with the figure '20'....well your missing out, because it really is excellent software, and well worth the price. Good luck whatever you decide.

[Kingjamez]

I don't know why I'm getting flack for asking if the software goes on sale. Mach, BobCad, Alibre, etc. all do. I have no problem affording the software, that's because I'm a very frugal person...

No need to sing the praises of the software to me. I'm throughly convinced it is great stuff. I always look for the best deal possible on any major purchase.

Your best bet is to buy right before a new version is released, as you'll usually get the upgrade for free, even if the new version costs more. The downside to that is you might be waiting several months. If you'd purchased just prior to the current version release, it was about $100 cheaper than it is now.

Jim,

No flak intended. You could always purchase one of the Vectric 'Bundles' and save that way. The more you spend, the more you save! (He said, tongue in cheek. I always hate that phrase when I hear it on the radio or the television.)

Seriously, though, I purchased the VCarve Pro + PhotoVCarve bundle a while back and have kicked myself several times now for not shelling out the extra for Cut3D at the same time. Oh well, live and learn. My birthday and Christmas are right around the corner, maybe I'll treat myself and finally collect the whole set.

If you want to save some serious cash, you could purchase VCarve Pro and use it to make some spectacular gifts for your friends, family and co-workers this holiday season out of some scrap wood and plastic you probably have lying about the shop. No it wouldn't be the same thing as purchasing VCarve 'on sale' but the savings from all the cool presents you made would be one heck of a rebate.

Just a thought...

Again, no flak intended. Just curious about why you picked $20....or was it just a figure of speech...text....speech....you know what I mean!

Hi, the $20.00 thing is just a general rule for me. Under that (ie. groceries) I just buy the item. Over that and I try my best to find the lowest price available. For instance, I'm wanting to buy the Harbor Freight 4x6 bandsaw. It is currently on sale for $159.00, I know that in a couple months it will be at $149.00, so I'll wait. I'm never in a hurry with my hobbies, I figure the more I save, the more stuff I can have.

I save thousands of dollars every year by being patient and looking for the best deal on everything from shoes to cars.
