Wait, hang on, is this product a joke I'm not getting?

"The Bearded Lady" https://www.daz3d.com/the-bearded-lady

It costs $139.97. It's for G3F, and it consists of a single beard. It's got a few morphs... and that's it. 

It is also a Daz Original. 

At first I thought it was a bundle, the picture does seem like it, but, nope, it's just a beard. A very, very expensive beard. I've never seen it in the store before, it doesn't appear to have anyone talking about it apart from a 2018 thread that mentions nothing about the price and... I'm still not entirely sure it's actually real. Maybe I'm hallucinating. There are other products that do the same job for a literal fraction of the price. You can also just, you know, autofit beards from men. Is this a pricing issue? Is DAZ trolling us? Have I slipped into an alternate realm? Somebody help me.

    Well, let's see, I got this item on the 1st of april 2017, so yep, it was an april fools special back then.......smileywink

    It's been on sale several times for 55.99 this year.  I'd suggest waiting for the next sale to pick it up.

    Yup, that was an April fool's freebie. :-) Though I actually used it a couple of times on a character.

    You must be a Daz+ member, it's $199 for me! laugh

    With some previous April Fool's gags they carried a silly price but became zero once you put them in your cart. Not this one though, at least, not for me.

    The price did go zero, but only on the day of release, and that was for everyone. After that, it reverted to it's silly price.

    Right! Well in that case, it's a bargain too good to be ignored!

    Thanks for everyone who replied, I'm glad I wasn't just going crazy or something. I do worry that someone, at some point, accidentally bought it or something (I'm sure there's tickets that can fix that tho). It would be nice if it still did revert to $0 in cart though.

    And for anyone in the far future who goes through the same thing I did, at least now there's a thread for it, curtesy of these wonderful people :D

    And in about three weeks or so we'll be getting another such offer. What will it be this year? We've had the unflatable donkey so far. As well as the Emeror's new clothes.

    There was also a V8 (an engine block, not long before the real V8), the Banana Suit, the Invisible Chair. I believe Pretty in Pink was one of the first..

    Forgot about CC Hole Hair, and the Make Art Button...

    It's too bad these couldn't be rereleased every April 1 for those who missed it or are new to Daz. They're fun products to have.

    Well, they did rerelease SOME prevous, only-appeared-breifly April Fools products on subsequent April Fools Days (or maybe they rereleased those breifly under some other special, I forget).... but, yeah, it would be nice if all of them were back at some point.  And there are some that were put out as April Fools that actually did make logical, useful sense as an everyday product, such that it completely baffled me that they then disappared them completely after April Fools was over, rather than keeping them available for purchase ever after, such as that singing-telegram banana costume they made two or three years back.  I have that one, but I know I've seen people complaining that they'd missed getting that product and actually wanted it for singing-telegram renders.

    yeah why leave it up with the crazy price, at least price it reasonably if not pull it.

    I believe it's an autofit of the beard that comes with Leandros, so if anyone really needed it they could look at that since it's cheaper :)

    Not only cheaper, it's currently on sale.

    When I look, it says 'Inactive', in the way retired products do. Hmm, interesting. I do wish I had picked up the deflating Donkey, there have been a surprising number of occasions when I could have used it. (>2 at the least, and that is surprising!).

    The store seems to be having a bit of a tantrum, and EVERY product is inactive right now.
