    Only 10 to 20 percent. We need a gift card sale first; then start a little later in the week, Anyway I'm looking at a Tropical Storm and probable loss of Internet Tuesday. So it is sure to start then.

    I wonder what this year's new gimmick will be, and how many days it'll take before they give up on it and revert to a simple, reasonable sale.

    The current sale gives you an extra 10% discount on the first 3 days of the PA sale. That sounds like a punch card system to me, but DAZ abandoned that mid-sale last year.

    Don't forget we're in Encryption/DRM territory now, so (if you're bothered by that) you'll need to be careful about what the sale entails. If it's "buy something today to get someotherthing cheap tomorrow" then you could get caught out - especially if there's a no refund policy.

    I'm new, but it sounds a bit over rated to me. 

    You have to buy at least two items to get the 50% off? Hmmm Ah well, maybe there will be some nice stacking stuff. I'll have to look into it farther.

    Mega fast grab looks interesting. Does anyone know if the older Terradomes work in DAZ Studio?

    NO,  MortemVetus said in the TD3 thread that the previous stuff won't work.  So, the other props and figures are the only thing DS users should look at.  Not any of the previous TD stuff.  That's all Poser only!

    especially if there's a no refund policy.

    There doesn't appear to be any this time. Am I missing some hidden small print somewhere, or is the normal refund policy in effect now?

    Usually, the "No Return" is only enforced in punch sales (for obvious reasons). I guess this year they are going with a straightforward, hard to exploit for unexpected discounts, sale-style. On one hand, less brain-power spent shopping, on the other... *sigh*.

    I didn't see anything stating no refunds. Maybe that means this sale won't be as convoluted as in the past.

    What does "Still New" mean?  I tested it, and it doesn't seem to be just things with the new banner, so it must be something else?

    I noticed the same thing. I'm thinking maybe each day they add something new, and the items from the previous days will still get the discount, so not really all new stuff, just new stuff since the PA Sale.

    No punch cards so far. Good. :)

    Yes, it was something like this last year. "New" was for the products released that day, "still new" was for products released during the past few days of the sale. 3 days maybe? I'm not sure, and it might not even be the same this time. But it wasn't the same as the "new" label on items, which remains there for 60 days.

    Usually the "still xxx" category contains the new items from the past 2 or 3 days. Since we're on day one there's no "still new" category yet.

    Yes, it looks like the "Still New" category is probably for 3 days as the Post Apocalyptic Walker is free with the TerraDome3 for 3 days.

    And no discounted gift card... yet?

  • Has it started or not, banner seems to say it's started today ?

    Perhaps it needs to go on a diet?

    I'm curious about that extra 10% off for three days. What were the requirements and should they be in affect today?

    Thanks for picking the banner thing up I totally forgot Cheers!

    Yes, I just purchased the terrain kit and other related stuff. Sale is working. Although for some weird reason, it went from $113.99 in my cart to $114.00 at checkout. Should I ask for a $.01 refund?

    I really should. CS could probably use a laugh.

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    was hoping anything with the 'new' sash would trigger the 65 percents

    I would expect it means that there will be three days during which a new release can earn the extra discounts, after which it will behave like a normal new release (presumably 30% off for the rest of its intro fortnight, then not subject to discounts until sixty days after its release - depending on what, if anything, they do about catch-ups). Since this is the first day there aren't any items from previous days on their second or third day.

    I thought they did away with that? I don't recall seeing any new encrypted items since the original flurry.
