But never mind -- was just trying to give a perspective on how your posts sometimes come across and a suggestion for improvement, but if you don't care, more power to ya. 👍
Looking at the photos, this doesn't look super translucent unless you just print a single layer, but in my experience even completely transparent PETG prints pretty cloudy in multiple layers unless you spend time dialing in your settings perfectly.

And, of course, if someone one does guess wrong, there would be a massive amount of whining about that in itself. As you can see, there is no indication what percentage is taken off. I'm not going to check the arithmetic everytime I post a good S&S deal. I hope others don't feel like they have to jump through silly hoops when they find a good S&S deal, too, no matter what tier S&S they're at. I've already started putting YMMV and other warnings in my
S&S posts due to this. I'm sure others are put off from posting by all the gatekeeping.
The percentages in the op were added by moderators. I had no idea what they were. See below.

I must say that it's been interesting to see someone try to walk the "helpful" tightrope between taking the time to post a deal but not take a few seconds more to ask Google to calculate 95% of the base price. You don't even need to be able to math to do that.
Finally, it's fair to note that if the moderators didn't agree, they wouldn't have quietly fixed your post for you.
Have a lovely day with the few extra seconds you gained by not making your post accurate in the first place (disregarding the much more time you spent explaining how your time was too precious to do basic math to ensure your post was accurate). 🤜🤛
After failure #1, I realized the generic profile for translucent PETG had the temperature too high compared to the suggested temp on the roll. I bumped it down to the suggested range and still spaghetti. Then, I tried following the settings suggested here [bambulab.com], but I think the suggested print settings were to maximize translucence, rather than strength. Also, if I had put the print speed down to 20mm/s it would have taken like 5-7 days to print, and ain't nobody got time for that. I did leave the first layer to 20mm/s but basically set the rest of the speed to 100mm/s, which would have still taken like 26hours.
My failures had mostly to do with the tree supports going completely spaghetti. On the final print with the suggested settings, I realized the internal support wouldn't have worked anyhow, as it was quite brittle. I expected the PETG "strength" to overcome that, but alas, it did not and I could warp and break the internal structure easily by hand.
