50% off DOs- How's That Work In Featured Stores- and 50% and 10% on 51% Items?

If you were an early buyer of Darius and Monique, today you get and EXTRA 50% off Daz Originals, including PC club items. (No new releases, gift cards, memberships.)

So how does this work with the DO's that are in the featured stores? Which aren't working correctly unless my math is bad. Because if I get 2 new items I get 50% off, then another 10% for buying both bundles- and with only that, Miwa Anime Hair for Genesis 2 Female(s) is already 30% off because it is a DO in one of the featured stores- so instead of 19.95 it starts out at 13.97- that goes to 6.99 with the first 50% off (being a featured store) and then it is NOT giving me the additional 10% for being a 2 bundle owner. But let's continue anyway.

So it's showing 6.98. Then I get 10% which would be 69 or 70 cents (let's do 70 to make it simple) that would be 6.28.
Am I supposed to get another 50% off with the special offer today of the 6.28, or where was that "if it's a DO get 50% off" supposed to kick in regarding things in the featured stores?

Because I'm supposed to get 50% off everything (in the featured stores) except the new releases anyway, if I buy 2 new releases. Do the DO's get another 50% after the other two discounts? (50% if buy 2 things, 10% both bundles owner.)

Arrrrgh.

    I am interested in this case too. Also, what was the time limit you had to meet regarding buying the bundles?

    Some things are doing the extra 10%, others aren't. For example, the Toon Trucks bundle is correct at 13.48.

    Let's look at goldtassel, who is a featured store and also a DO artist.
    The gothic mohawk hair
    http://www.daz3d.com/gothic-mohawk-hair-for-genesis-1-2-male-s

    says 19.95 reduced 75% to 4.99 due to PC+
    I have 2 new things in cart, plus am bundle owner.
    So 50% is 2.50 and 10% off that is .25 so 2.25 should be my total. It is only giving me the 2.50.

    So since both of these are Goldtassel, someone might want to take a look at that. I'll email the admins.

    But again, the gothic mohawk is a DO so I should then be getting 50% off of the 2.25?

    I don't think PC items get MM discounts, so the Mohawk is right - you are getting the Monique 6 discount only. It looks as if the same is true for the Miwa Anime Hair - if I add one of the few non-DAZ Goldtassel items to my cart \I see no discount at all, even though I have another MM item, so it looks as if there may be an issue with her store being featured. I will report that./

    The MM discounts were for items that were a certain price- but not excluding PC or PC+

    "Any product priced at or below .99 cents will not qualify for any March Madness discount or promotion." according to the main MM page.

    Except as an owner of both bundles, I'm supposed to get 10% too. Replied to your email and told you which other two stores I tested, that were correct. :)

    If you look at the text for the Madness Stores list it does exclude PC items.

    Oh, and Goldtassel's store should now be working (excluding PC items).

    I bought the 2 Pro bundles yesterday and don't seem to be getting an EXTRA 50% off DAZ Originals. I guess I was too late.

    An additional 50% off DOs? Had I known, I'd have purchased both in time (not sure when it was required) to get the extra discount on the DAZ Originals instead of spreading out the purchases to qualify for 50% off on other daily items, and I would now be buying several extra items. Please tell me it's not too late! Some other, secret option or combination or something?!?

    For that particular one day coupon it only worked for me when I did a separate order for DO items first to use said coupon, then did the MM items in a second order. The 50% off coupon would override any other sale pricing if mixed with MM stuff. But pulling them apart like that got it to work.

    And yes the extra discount was sent to folks who purchased the 2 bundles at the beginning of MM.

    That's interesting- because I am making off like a bandit buying 2 of the qualifying new releases, then going into the featured stores that are 50% because of that- then selecting Daz Originals as the vendor once I go into a store. See this post- 17.95 items are 2.82, etc. I listed some of the things I tested in the cart, but I had hidden what I already owned (which is a lot) so this is a small sample. I had my MM and the DO's in the same order to shop from those featured stores and get excellent discounts. Here's a few I mentioned in my Art Studio thread:
    http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/52145/P180/#774071

    Example:
    http://www.daz3d.com/adrenaline-rush IS in the featured stores, it’s 17.95, the 30% is 12.57, then with the 2 new releases and other discount it drops to $2.83.

    The trick is to select the DO's in the vendor menu after you are in the store so you can find them fast. Example, go to Goldtassel store then select Daz Originals in the vendor dropdown.

    Sorry if it didn't work for you :(

    I selected view all items on the march madness page, and then selected daz3d as the vendor. Between all the discounts and one of the platinum club vouchers, I got aiko 6 for under a dollar. Color me one super happy customer.

    Right before I checked out, I also remembered the PC+ coupons for this month- so I was able to take another $6 off the total using the Daz Original one. (You can also use the vendor one as long as it isn't a new release.) Don't forget those two coupon codes if you are a PC-er. :)

    How does the 50% and then 10% work on the new products that start off at 51% off? Example, if it's 19.95 and showing $9.78, with the 51% as the starting price, how does the buy two new items (get 50%) and 10% (for owning both bundles) kick in- what should the final price be?

    Greetings,
    The 50% off replaces the 30% off 'new release' discount. So it becomes 30% off (PC), 50% off (two MM items), 10% off (Double Pro Action).

    So you multiply 0.7 x 0.5 x 0.9 and you get {list price} x 0.315, invert it to get your discount and you have 68.5% off.

    I think you're saying what I already know- see if I'm correct. Right, got that on the ones that start at 30% off, that it gets upped to the 50%. Say for instance a 19.95 that is 30% and starts at 13.97, and does what you say, and it goes to 8.98.

    My question though is what happens when the product starts out at 51% already?

    What does a 19.95 that starts at 51% off and starts at 9.78 do? Does the 50% for buying 2 things get ignored, since it is already at 51%? Then what happens to the 10%- where does it kick in? Because if the additional 50% is ignored and only the extra 10% is used, 10% of 9.78 is .98 and you take that away from 9.78, that would be $8.80?

    It doesn't 'start out' at 51%. It starts out at 30% off for PC+, 30% off for 'new item discount'. That's 0.7 * 0.7, or 0.49 of the list price, which appears as '51% off'.

    Now *replace* the '30% new item discount' with 50% off 'March Madness', and now you have (before the 'pro discount') 0.7 * 0.5 = 0.35, or 65% off.

    Now if you have both pro-packs, it's 0.35 * 0.9 = 0.315, or 68.5% off.

    Nothing's getting ignored. You need to tease apart what '51% off' really is made up of, before replacing parts of it with the new discounts.

    Edit: Going with the example of 19.95 for a DAZ Original item. You are a PC+ member, which reduces the price by 30% to 13.96. Without March Madness, a new item would now discount by another 30% to $9.77. However, because March Madness is in effect, it's 50% off, so it gets discounted to $6.98 (with a second MM item in your cart). Now, you have a 10% discount because you bought both Pro packs. That takes $0.698 (rounded to $0.70) off the price, bringing it to $6.28.

    These numbers can be off by a penny one way or another, for rounding reasons.

    Thanks Morgan, it makes sense now. And it is strange how it can be a penny off here, there. 19.95 should be 19.95 and behave the same way each time, not influenced by the price of the second new item (if that's what is happening.)

    Appreciate you spending your time typing that up, I know it takes awhile. :)
