Did I miss the memo? Daz+ Discount on new releases now only 20%?

This is a big reason why I am just barely on the 8.1 bandwagon. The bundles are a joke compared to the past Pro bundles and you get less "add on" stuff and discounts as you mentioned. Net effect is they want me to pay more for less content. I'm one of those customers who usually makes it a point to buy male products to encourage PAs to make them but even that is not enough with how they're currently doing things.

I've never been a big bundle buyer for "core" figures, but I've observed the changes you note. Honestly, it reminds me of a grocery marketing strategy: a package is designed to hold less but not look it. Except the food sellers usually keep prices the same

Well, I just added some new items from today's sale page. The store discount says 20% for PA products and 44% for DOs, but in the cart they show as 30% for PA proucts and 51% for DOs. I'm still a DAZ+ member right now. I wonder if this is the new normal for new releases as a DAZ+ member or just a March Madness discounts for DAZ+ members.

Pricing has been changing all day, and cart prices have sometimes been out of sync with store page prices. Who knows what is correct? I didn't see anything special that said Daz+ gets a higher discount.

the 4.99 things are that for me too so it is not just DAZ+, it's March Madness  not the annual (now Biannual?) PC+/DAZ+ sale

Discount on new MM items is supposed to be 20% for one item and 30% for 2+

Oh wow, yes, the items released on the 30% days are now only 20% off. So it's I guess March Madness and prices go up? Well it's a kind of madness I guess.

OK. I just noticed the retroactive universal 20% discount for new items when I went to my wishlist. Thanks, Daz, for simplifying my shopping here: Wishlist new items, and use Daz Deals % off filter to shop my wishlist. Ta-ta!

I've been here since late 2005; I really have more content than I'll ever use. I've also become much more discerning in what I'll buy, and the associated price point. I did pick up four of the volumetric items the day they came out, at a 30% discount. I notice that the two I put on my wishlist now show a 20% discount. I'm OK with that - because DAZ has conditioned me to expect significant discounts on 'older' items at some  point.

Items in my wishliist go into the cart when the discount exceeds 40%; they get dropped if I haven't purchased them within a year of the release date. New releases, at just a 20% discount will need to be earth-shatteringly good or something I absolutely need - or they go on the wishlist for future consideration.

Right now, the only 'madness' I see this March is DAZ expecting us to make significant expenditures at an historically low introductory discount.

I've been gone for a bit.  Hadn't bought anything well past a year.  I also have so much content I will never be able to use it all.  I just made one purchase and spent $17.  its unlikely that I will  be purchasing enaything else.  I'm used to the good discounts.
