Trading Allowed?

I'm sure the answer is probably no (which sucks) but I have to ask to be sure.

When I first downloaded Daz Studio, I purchased The Girl 6 Bundle and G2F morphs and such and bunch of Stonemason awesomeness and other stuff blah blah blah....

I don't want The Girl 6. I'm never going to use her for anything. Nor any of the stuff that came bundled (I didn't know when I purchased). I would love to trade for something I would use.

Hey Daz, create a trading space.

Anyone want The Girl 6?

    When did you buy them? Is the return policy still in force? If so, return them. Easy.

    12 Sept 2013 is purchase date. I doubt I can still return (have no idea about the return policy). I have used once in a test render.

    Back then, I was using Daz to export my purchases to use in Element 3D. Didn't start using Daz Studio until a year later. Now that I have the hang of it, love it. Currently learning MODO and ZBrush thanks to DS.

    Lesson learned.

    Within thirty days, you can return anything except memberships. It is the date of your order and the ticket's issuing that matters, so you don't have to worry about when a staff member gets to you.

    Are you sure you cannot use the items somehow? Partial dialling, retexturing, kitbashing...?

    No - I'm not big into dialing between figures as much as I am muscle shapes. I'm also not a big fan of the hair and clothes included with the bundle. I was completely inexperienced at the time of purchase. The Girl 6 is too cartoony for the stuff I create.

    It's all g.

    I'm curious as to how one might "return" a digital download.

    By submitting a support ticket and promise to delete all of that product on your computer.

    You write a ticket, tell them what you want to remove, delete it from your DS, they give you your money back. Simple.

    Honor system for sure.

    There really is no way to "return" a digital download, per se, but at the end of the day, it is still based on honor system. After getting a refund back for the digital content you "returned" you should delete if from your folder of downloaded contents as well as your runtime folder. This is what I do. No need to hold on to unwanted files.

    Even better to remove the files from your DS before submitting the ticket. I do that before writing one and they appreciate that. This way, they don't have to write the disclaimer "please remove the contents".

    This is based on gentleman's word. Samurai DAZ :D. On the other hand, if you use DIM, your runtimes are monitored, so nobody will to harass this system. Any difference (you lack an item in your library, but have it in your runtime) will be found.

    What if I installed an item into that runtime from another site but it is a legit thing? Lets say RDNA or Rendo.

    those purchases do not show up in DIM only DAZ bought content does so is irrelevant.

    This is untrue. DIM doesn't monitor what's actually in your runtimes, nor does it check if something you installed with it was returned. It doesn't send any info to DAZ other than your login credentials and which products in your Ready to Download tab you have asked to download.

    Huh. I read an article claiming what I mentioned. I don't have the link anymore, sorry for confusion.

    But if its monitoring your Runtime it would see it - and what about gifts or prizes from PA's that don't go through your account, this could cause all kinds of problems.

    Generally, I return things because they don't work for me - not because I decide I will never use them. I have tons of stuff I rarely use but ... one day? Deleting something that doesn't work for my purposes is what I would do anyway, refund or not.

    ...I have done the same. This is a nice service that Daz offers other stores don't (or at least make it very difficult to do so) and I would never want to see this policy cancelled due to abuse.

    I have only ever returned one thing I have almost 4K now in DIM.
    That single one thing was Zevo's merchant skin resource which I replaced by buying the DAZ LIE version as I found I could not use it as expected in Carrara but with a bit of manual layering I can use LIE presets.
    Oh I have lots of stuff I have never loaded :lol:

    As noted earlier, DIM does not report anything to DAZ - it gets your product list, with the details, from DAZ and compares the details to the zips and the manifests for installed files on your system. If it finds something that hasn't been downloaded at all, or that has a different manifest on the servers than on your PC, it appears in the Ready to Download tab. If you have a gift from a PA it will be ignored - of course you won't then get updates, except via the PA.

    Me too, big time!

    Due to different bundles, freebies, special sales, etc. there are quite a few items that I own multiples of. It would be great to be able to gift some of them.

    Actually, a system to buy a specific item for a certain person would be fantastic. It is available on Rendo, so why wouldn't DAZ consider it too? GCs are a bit, you know... like cheques. Not really suave. An item is a different gift altogether.
