[Do you ever] look at a product so often that you think you own it? Or the other way around, (you) are surprised that you own the product, because you either sleep-walked through your purchase, or it came with a package?

Constantly! That and going looking for something for a specific project only to realize (after hours of searching of course) that I already had the perfect thing in my Library *headdesk*
Yes! My library is a constant source of surptrise and discovery. It's a bit overwhelming.
Yep, all the time. LOL
Every time I go into that bloody store I have to steel myself, so I don't completely blow the budget, I can speak for myself when I say, it truly is the bane of a compulsive buyer's existence! :)
I hear you. I get fixated with trying to configure purchases, with promotions that are going on, for the best "deals." I fall for the add a new-release, $5 or more, almost everytime. I end up with a lot of cool products, many of which stay in the inventory without being used, and forgotten a sale or two later.
The former, no. The latter, yes...
Yes! Especially during bigger sales or after flash sales that required a quick purchase while actually doing something else (you know, the "I'll just take a quick break from what I'm working on and have a peek at the Daz store" case... ;) ).
Famous last words of our wallets before it ends up starving again! xD
No, no, no! I've been good. Ok, mostly good. And probably only because my wallet is already starving.
I do both of those all the time. All the time.
Never on the first part since I see what I already own when I look at the products page, but yes on the second since sometimes I forget about some things I have in my library. I also try to test everything right after I purchase it to see the possibilities for future use
Both. It's really hard to remember everything that I have bought over the years, especially when vendors hop from store to store and sell the same items in different locations, or when AI buy a bundle that has an item I don't immediately need and forget about it. On the other extreme, I've lost track of how many times I've put a sale item in my cart and had it sitting there only to find a sale stop working working properly. Since I went through all of the aspects of a purchase except actually getting the item, my memory has become convinced that I bought something that I didn't.
...same here.
yes and yes
tend to topic search my product library to find what I own and then to know what I have to search for in my content to actually find it
No and no)) And no, I hardly ever sleepwalk anymore)))
Yes. After I first joined Daz, I made a medical appointment for an Alzheimer's checkup, but cancelled it once I realized the starter bundle I 'didn't own' was included in the pro bundle I had already purchased.
These are usually very low priced and tempting to rebuy during the Christmas sale. So far I've avoided the repurchases, but certainly have done a few blinks of the eye, shakes of the head and a double check or two on the odd fantasy bundle offered as unowned, despite me owning the mega bundle.
Yep and yep - the latter can be a nice surprise
I've been buying stuff here since 2005. I have tons of stuff I don't remember buying at all. Including a heap of stuff I bought for Genesis 3 in a failed attempt to migrate from Poser to Studio. I later did migrate in 2017, so I have used some of them.
...one of the good things here is they flag a product you purchased. as well as what's ever on your wishlist.
Look at/see a product so often that I convince myself that I own it? I don't remember that ever happening.
Forget or never really knew that I owned something? Frequently. It's almost always items from an old Pro Bundle or Platinum Club/Daz+ Anniversary Bundle that I didn't really want, so the items have never been downloaded, installed, tested, or used.
Yep, I do both very often. There's stuff I've bought over the last year that I totally forgot about. I usually buy when I have certain characters in mind that I need assets for, but some deals are so good that I go nuts and buy more than I intended because "well this deal might not come around again for a long time." I'm going through that now after the last major sale. There's so much stuff I bought that I forgot about.
And ooooh the amount of times I've looked for something I didn't own yet. I kept thinking I had Mesh Grabber. Nope. It's still on the wishlist. Woops.
A few times I haven't bought something when I thought I had. More lately than ever because I go back & forth now on which product(s) to buy with my limited budget. I want value per dollar and actually having a use for the product both. Gone are the days of loading up the cart with $1.99 PC+ items, although many of those $1.99ers are still my favorite clothing sets.
