    I realize FastGrab is technically just a 70% thing, but still kind of jarring to see $40+ items on the list, lol.

    A couple times recently G8 bundles were available for 80% off. I don't know if it was the same bundles, though. I didn't pay that close of attention, because I have the bundles I want. Even 70% or 80% off is more than I want to pay for more G8 content right now. I have enough to keep me busy now. It is probably far more attractive to people who haven't already "over accumulated".

    I agree-I just always thought the FastGrab page was mostly just the cheap stuff under ten-fifteen bucks...I'm not fast grabbing anything at forty bucks.

    The current bundle sale thing going on reminds me of one wonderfully exciting sale here, maybe last year, or the year before? It was also about Pro Bundles being on a rotation throughout a day and a night, but while rotating, some got replaced or just dropped out, and the price went continually lower for a certain period of time - then it would start to rise again. You didn't know how low it would go, or when, and which bundles would drop out. That was really such a fun and exciting sale, I wish we had more stuff like that again.

    That sounds like a nightmare! How many people will be angry that they just bought something and now the price keeps going down?

    I think it was announced this way, so everybody knew it was gonna be sort of a gamble. The prices were really really good too, even at the outset. And there was still the policy in place that any cheaper price within 30 days from purchase would be matched by DAZ, so if it really bothered you, you could apply to get a refund. Ah, it was fun, I don't recall any complaining. I think in the very end, someone just left the carousel on auto-repeat and forgot to tweak a few variables, and then the prices went incredibly low, like 5 dollars for a Pro Bundle or something like this. And still, DAZ honored everything. I was very, very impressed then, I remember. And bought an awful lot ;-) You do develop a kind of loyalty, don't you? When someone's real generous towards you, you like to repay in kind.

    I remember that sale.  It was a like a blowout of G8 pro bundles ahead of the 8.1 release.  The bundles were so cheap, you couldn't be disappointed if they went cheaper later.  As the prices went down, I was thinking more about the stuff I passed over earlier in the day, not the stuff already purchased.

    Sounds exactly like the type of "sale" that I utterly ignore, because I have better things to do than sit in front of a shop screen waiting for a product getting marginally cheaper. Considering that the average Flash Sale here in DAZland happens in the evenings/late night for europeans like me I already learned to ignore those. So ignoring a sale that would probably as interesting to watch as a half apple going brown would be easy

    You're not missing much. The sales and deals are not as good as they used to be. I use 3D renders for my art business and was spending $1500-plus/year but I need return-on-investment and can't justify the higher costs. So far this year I've spent $300, not counting a gift card purchase of which I haven't used yet.

     

    I'm glad to see the daily deals are back to $1.99, last year they were something like $4.99(?) and then lowered to $3.49. The selection of $1.99 items has not been very good but it is a fine line of raising prices to where you lose money because of no sales versus giving the store away. Either way, as I said, the sales have been terrible the past few years and I suspect I'm not the only one who now rarely opens the wallet.

    It is true that d+fad have been as high as $4.99 in earlier sales and i haven't bought either, as at that price i only buy what i really want or need, which BTW led me to buying more really useful stuff instead of buying by impulse. Anyway, if you need a ROI on everything you buy, i don't believe you are the average customer of DAZ, who IMO is a hobbiest, maybe dreaming of becoming a pro someday in the future and doesn't own that much. Being such a hobbiest and owning sth under 5000 products myself, i found the daz+fad had great offers, some PAs generously giving away many of their products.

    So, although it is true that some deals have become less generous, there are still great deals here, and maybe what you are experiencing ATM as a real pro is that you are slowly outgrowing DAZ, because your asset library has grown sufficiently to become more and more independent of this place. Spending less would be a natural consequence, and also very good news for you.

  • Well I did not see many deals really worth it yet. I bought some pairs of new releases but nothing from all the other categories. With DAZ+FAD there was the one or other product coming newly in which I bought but unfortunately there are many vendors who do not participate in this.

    Many offers I pass on due to either a high buy-in (i.e. one has to get a bundle to trigger coupon codes or other offers) or a rather limited selection (like with todays fun & game items for up to 77%).

    Considering Vic's bundle has just had its contents revealed, I have a feeling this/these are just filler sales until the imminent release of Gen9. Rip our Daz+ sale :/

    There's a display problem for today's sale page on my phone again: spotlight item, daily specials and Daz+ for a day have a white background

    It's ok on my iPhone 12, latest iOS. What phone are you on? 

    Happening also on my tablet which is a Fire 8HD (Android variant). I also checked on the browser for my Samsung phone and same thing

    It affects Daz+FAD and the one below it, Daily Specials (?). Text for Spotlight item has shadow effect on both devicesso is somewhat readable.

    Still happening on an iPad as well.

    This problem is back today (10/14).

    Are you referring to the links added to the bundle page:

    - Victoria 9 Presale
    - Summertide Swimwear Outfit
    - Soft Curls Ponytail
    - Z Fun Summer Time
    - Mango Movement Collection
    - Diva's Desire Outfit
    - Emotions Expressions

    If that is the full content of the PreSale bundle I am not missing much having not bought it. OK there is this extra hair and the extra bikini. But if I remeber right incentives with the launch of the Vicky 8 Pro Bundle had been much better. I'll see what DAZ will offer at release day but as it is right now I do not plan to jump on the Gen9 train all that early.

    @maikdecker, I don't usually go for that type of thing either, but back in that sale, the prices weren't dropping marginally but almost exponentially. They went down to something like 9 dollars for a Pro Bundle, and like I said, even less than that accidentally (I believe). It was really fun and wonderfully generous. Just like the first CoVid year when they gave everyone a DAZ+ coupon to spend AND let the DAZ+ members spend theirs thrice. That was such a lovely gesture, I'm still touched when I think about it. Honest generosity, you know? And so well thought out.

    Is it really the case that if we buy an outfit, the breakout items are not recorded as bought.

    This item:

    https://www.daz3d.com/girls-baseball-style-dforce-jacket-for-genesis-8-and-81-females

    Is showing as available to purchase, but I have bought the whole outfit. Why is Daz making the store harder to use?

    It's not like it's being done on purpose like it seems to be the thought process. Anyone with any kind of web and store design experience will tell you these things happen constantly when you are updating/upgrading. Fix one thing and it breaks another. All you can do is fix and move forward. A great portion of the time if isn't even anything you did and it was whoever the host is and the changes they made. I know our personal store went down many times because of that very issue.

    When I worked as a programmer, this would have been unacceptable!  All new code was on a development server.  It would be thoroughly tested, by users - not by me, before being released to the production server.  If I had let this many errors go live, I'd have been fired!

     I keep pulling up the orders to remember how good it was.  There was a buy-in.  I was still pc+ so the 30% PC+ discount applied, and the coupons worked.  It went from 12/31/1020-1/1/2021, so you could use December's (if you saved them) and January's coupons.

    Pulled up the files now too, great that you remembered the date! It seems I got the Aiko 8 bundle as well for less than 3 dollars, and Tasha and especially the lovely Floyd bundle - he's still one of my favorite characters of all time, along with Edie. I don't know, why were sales like that possible then and not going on anymore now? I sure a.h. bought an awful lot back then, so it seems like a brilliant sales strategy! (Must now try to erase memory of these pages after pages of expensive orders from past years from mind - press ERASE - press press press ...)

    For me, SPECIAL-TEN code doesn't work when I have more than $25 in my cart (almost all are DAZ+ for a day items) :( I get a "Coupon code is not valid".

  • blazblaz Posts: 261

    "Explore the High Seas - Get 73% OFF* up to 5 High Seas Items when you buy any Debut New or Still New Release" does not stack with 30% DAZ+ discount.

    There is no disclaimer that it shouldn't.

    The High Seas items are also not dropping 10% with the Special-Ten code. The other non-new, non-fastgrab items in my cart are dropping by 10%, but none of the High Seas items.

    So the D+FAD are already deeply discounted, so no further discounts.

    This offer does not stack and Daz has corrected the page to say this.

    The preorder price of Victoria 9 just increased to $42 for the character and $112 for the bundle. Is this intentional? If so, I guess I won't be getting V9 any time soon.

    Interesting that the price has gone up, yet there was never any mention in any of the marketing materials that you needed to pre order within a given time to receive a special pre-order pricing (or at least not that I could find). In fact, there was no indication that the pre-order price was a special pre-order only price, just that if you pre-ordered you would get the extra free item(s).

    I thought this might be a simple automatic pricing error like the last time the price went up, but as we approach over 24 hours since I first saw the increase without ant response from DAZ or the mods, I think this may now be the "real" price. I'm definitely not purchasing eithr V9 or the bundle at this price. I can wait for a sale, or if there is not a better sale, just never get V9. I was going to at the very least purchase V9, and possibly the bundle if it had stuff I actually wanted. But...not at this new price.

    I think the presale simply went outside of the extra discount for the first two weeks, like any other product.

    Maybe, but I'm doubtful because it was first available on 21 Sept and didn't increase until today. At any rate I'm definitely not buying at the higher price.

    That detail kind of debunks my theory.

In fact, there was no indication that the pre-order price was a special pre-order only price, just that if you pre-ordered you would get the extra free item(s).

    I thought this might be a simple automatic pricing error like the ultast time the price went up, but as we approach over 24 hours since I first saw the increase without ant response from DAZ or the mods, I think this may now be the "real" price. I'm definitely not purchasing eithr V9 or the bundle at this price. I can wait for a sale, or if there is not a better sale, just never get V9. I was going to at the very least purchase V9, and possibly the bundle if it had stuff I actually wanted. But...not at this new price.

     

    I think the presale simply went outside of the extra discount for the first two weeks, like any other product.

    Maybe, but I'm doubtful because it was first available on 21 Sept and didn't increase until today. At any rate I'm definitely not buying at the higher price. 

    That detail kind of debunks my theory.

    It did lose its intro discount for a bit, but then it was restored. We all flag it up again, in case this was not intended.
