But that will negate my excuse to post something like this...
My MM started when all the Nutcracker Ballet stuff went on sale on the 28th of February. I'm now down to $20 left for this month and my save $6 on $18 which I can't use on any new stuff that gets released anyway.
Postwork yes! Mandatory for me now, too. No matter how small the scene. I've gathered GIMP tutes for that... Can't afford anything else:-)
> But still, only a low-cost hi-quality renderer will make me happy! Until then, no more big spending here, sales or no sales.
Thanks for pointing out the $4.99 Grasp Helper tool! I wasn't paying attention today! That I really needed.
As for Toon Generations 4, I passed on that today, again. Several Xmas's ago, it was briefly on sale for 99 cents! That time, I took so long trying to figure out if I really needed it, or would ever, that the sale ended before I got signed in!
So regret till now. It doesn't work. And I'm searching all over to see a lot of complaining. No response from the vendor. And worse, I can't find even tutorial on DAZ wiki doc. Considering refund.
I get that. I'm pretty much down to nothing but old poser items showing myself myself, but my attitude is that if I don't download it, it's always be there, and you never know what might turn out to be useful down the line for kitbashing.
Yeah, $5 grab bag items don't really grab me. At $2 or $3 I would grab a number of things without too much research like I normally would do, ending up with $20 to $30 at times. But at $5 I am going to be significantly more picky about what I get, if I get anything at all. $5 is basically a normal sale price.
So I am spending less for sure. I think the only thing I might get today is the one that helps you grab balls. It looks like it could be fun.
WHY do we have to buy some EXPENSIVE BUNDLE of products we DON'T WANT just to get one item at a discount? What kind of bargain is that supposed to be?
There is plenty of madness in March, but so far not so agreeable to me.
So far, one of the worst sales I have ever witnessed on Daz. No gift card sale, introductory discounts are down to 20% again, good discounst only on rather old stuff and in combination with some non-tempting bundles. I cannot beleive it myslf, but I have not spent a single $ in the Daz store since Monday.
Lack of gift card is a problem. I limit my spending that way - maximum 1 cart a month, no spending on anything not on the card. Without a card, I won't spend money. I've disciplined myself to be that way after crazy spending in the past. Yesterday, there was no issue, today I like th HM outfit, boots and hair. But no gift card, no spending I'm afraid.
And honestly Daz, putting prices up in March Madness?
https://www.daz3d.com/2022-03-hair-for-genesis-8-and-81-females
That was 30% off last week. I know, because I'd have bought it on release day if I had a gift card, and I wouldn't have even thought about it with a 20% discount.
So perhaps the lack of gift cart isn't such a big deal :)
I feel that now the regional access to flash sales is fixed, waiting for the good flash sales is a better strategy, unless things get better as the month progresses.
Well, DAZ has lost me more or less. All this recent changes made me more and more hesitant with regards to buying stuff. Single release 20%, 30% only with MM, 37% for two items. That's not the March Madness I used to know. Will keep an eye on the 4.99 items and probably purchase the one or other thing discounted > 75%. But as with the lack of deeply discounted new items or $1-$2,99 PFAD-items there are no longer impulse purchases I just do. Now it's more like is there something in for me? No, then why bother?
Do a better search, there are some threads around. I have it and while haven't use it too much it works fine for me. Get the DAZ deals addon and you'll have some references in the product page.
I never got it to work, so thanks for this advice!
Wow, the sale is getting real bad already. The new discounts are a joke, especially in MM. What are they aiming at?
There's nothing outstanding in the sale.
It's basically a normal daily sale wrapped in a March Madness banner.
Yup, s'how I think of it.
Working really well for me at $5.... I've always been annoyed seeing all my purchases pop up at $2 in the past (and I end up buying lots I don't use).
At $5 there are bargains like the Toon and T-Shirt bundles but I can also miss out on some wishlist items and even decide to take off the list! Do I need another $5 character, no :)
Okay, so they're calling it march madness now. But there's nothing mad about it, just the same lacklustre cadence as in February. I had the Hacker Hideout Room in my cart yesterday, then it had a discount of 41%. So I'd hoped to find something of interest today to pluck it together with to push the price down, hopefully to half. But instead the price is up and the discount is only 20%.
There used to be some heavy discounts on amazing new products at the start of MM. Some amazing Sci-fi sets and Italian patios come to mind. This year, there's nothing thrilling at all.
And what's the point in selling skateboard products for females, when skateboarding is a more or less exclusively male sport?
https://time.com/6083877/olympics-womens-skateboarding-stars/
...Nothing to add... That's also what I think !
Well that's not true. Skateboarders of all genders zip around my uni and there are multiple pro divisions.
Wierd take aside, there's no reason to gatekeep any item from a gender, nationality, abilty or anything, especially in a 3D content store like this. That's one of the things I'll give Daz (or at least its PAs) points for; diversity in choice.
+1 Same here. At the rate it is going I won't even need a gift card sale.
Maybe the title of this thread should be changed to 'March Mehness'
For years I was spending on average $150/month. Then last year they started raising their prices and I slowed down to $50/month. This year (so far) I spent $109, $100 of that was for a gift card which still has a balance of $70. They're not going to tell me what the bottom line is doing over there so maybe they're rolling in money and I'm the exception but I've virtually stopped buying. I can't afford these higher prices, ficticious discounts, and fake sales.
There seems to be a lot of grumbling about the sales and how they're not as good as in years past, and this is definitely true. I think it may be a good thing, though, and here's why:
The simplest economic strategy from a seller's view is to maximize revenue by having big sales (more sales even if less profit per sale). However, because there's not infinite demand, I think there may be other factors that need to be taken into account. For example, having a huge library already (with similar items to what's being released) likely leads to less purchases from long-time customers. In other words, the huge sales encourage large libraries which may hurt future sales.
We all like getting content for cheap, but I also want DAZ, and all of the PAs, to stick around. This is good for the development of DS and adds value to the assets/libraries we already have. Just a thought.

March Madness? After a lack lustre Feb, my monthly Daz fund stayed largely unspent (waiting for March), but so far it's not mad, it's not even Mars, more like stuck in the mud. Oh $2 - $3 where art thou?
With that logic we should raise the minimum wage to a million dollars an hour. Then we'd all be millionaires. The bottom line is this: People don't buy if there is no value.
I suspect Daz is feeling the pinch because revenue may be going down. What they don't understand is you can't keep cranking out pretty faces and skimpware and expect to continue making the same money in a saturated market. Instead of copying what's already been done, try creating new content such as a decent clown, hobo, and train engineer. I've listed dozens of ideas in the past yet it's the usual sci fi cyber suit variations and pretty white girls 95% of the time.
Your example doesn't work as an anaolgy to the situation. Not the logic I was using at all - totally different.

I can understand that Daz likes to rework there discount schema. In the last years, discounts went to really weird percentages. Other stores seem to be doing fine with a less "enthusiastic" discount schema. About 30% intro discount on average, sometimes a 50% discount on new releases of certain PA's, with PA-specific or themed sales with discounts of 50% and up. And the PA's seem to have a word in the intro discounts as well.
In my opinion, messing with the intro discount is a totally mad concept. Why? A lot of purchases of newly released products are impuls buys. If the intro discount is lowered and people are putting things on their whishlist instead of the shopping cart, the opportunity of that impuls buy is lost. The item is rotting on the whislist. The next flash sale may offer a better price. But then you had time to re-think if you still want and (potentailly) need that item. I had items rotting on my whishlist for ages, because I realized later that I do not really need or want them anymore. And then I cleaned them off my list. With a good discount to start with, I would have bought those items.
