The Living Room is not free. It reverts to free only after you add something to cart; somebody report this please.

I hope this is not supposed to be the NEW weekly freebie. It certainly doesn't seem to be new as I got it as a freebie way back in March.

worked for me...
did not show as free in the menubar cart preview, but on the cart page everything is as it should be, and no problems checking out.
This was accidently shown as the weekly freebie some time back. It only stayed there a very very short time, so only a very very few lucky people managed to grab it before it went away.
Seems like it is free for PC members but I'm not yet I got the email telling me it is free. I tried putting it in my cart to see if it changed to zero but no such luck.
It's only free if you're a PC member, apparently... which isn't stated on the page itself.
Getting real irritating with these 'free' items.
Was just posting about this here: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/16978/
I have to say, if this is intended as the weekly PC freebie, there should be a note in the e-mail then. Anyone looking at the e-mail message would believe the item is supposed to be free to all.
That's what the email stated, free for today... not free for PC members only.
This sort of thing is happening a lot lately, which in fact is false advertising, not to mention bad taste.
DAZ productions wonders why more and more people are leaving, but doesn't realise that they are the cause of it.
In fact, I hadn't logged onto the forum in weeks, mainly because I find them far too restrictive nowadays. The only reason I still log in every now and then are the star trek and star wars threads and the freepository.
We've sent in a query about this.
Looks like it was just fixed, now it shows 100% off on the product page and I was able to order it for free. I'm not a PC member and I didn't order anything else.
Yes, it should be fixed now though that may take a while to show on the store index page (but it should be right on the actual product page and in the cart).
It is working now, got it for free! Big thanks to ArtCollab and DAZ!
Indeed! Mistake or not, thanks!

And because of this, it's been a hidden inactive item all this time, but when it became active again it was still dated to way back when it was originally put into the store. Which means my normal view of the New Releases page sorted "by release date" puts it right at the back on the last page — it isn't a new "new release" any more.
I'm sure this happened with something else sometime in the last month or two; we all got e-mails showing a freebie, but it never turned up at the top of New Releases because it wasn't really new, so it landed at the bottom. I caught that item, but it seems a lot of people are missing them. Something really needs to be done about this re-activation of long-hidden items, it's making them more difficult to find in the store.
Edited the thread title since the issue was reported and fixed.
Thanks, it seems it works now, the thread can be closed.
