Same. When it was after 11:59 am UTC-7 I figured the sale was going until midnight. I was looking at about 30 different bundles deciding which 12 I wanted. Ended up with 0. lol Sad panda.
No. the print just sad 11:59 with no am or pm; although it lasted a lot later than 11:59 am. I'm glad I checked out when I did. I got Crow 8.1 Mega Bundle, Cyberpunk City Mega Bundle, D-Talks! - Realtime Talking Chatbot for Daz Characters, Gothic Clothing Bundle, Costume Party Bundle, FG Senior College Dorm Bundle, Sporty Styles Bundle, dForce Angeloi Outfit Bundle, Phenotypes Shape and Pose Bundle for Genesis 8, Steampunk Outlaw Bundle, and Life's a Beach Bundle all for $10 each with the purchase of a cheap ($3.49) DAZ+ item
Thanks DAZ for a great sale.
Close brush but I made it! That 11 o'clock deadline was way off. As I loaded the cart, I checked all looked fine. Figured I had time. Picked out 12 and checked the cart ... good golly, 7 minute warning! Grabbed the least expensive new thing {no more time for decisions} and zoomied through the sale. 2:53:59 PM So it ended at 3 p.m. my time which is 1 p.m. Daz time.
Not defending just saying, maybe the 11 was a typo of a stuck key?
At any rate THANK YOU so much Daz3D ... I've been waiting for some time for this type of a sale and actually had a tear of happiness when that all went through the process correctly.
4 and 1/2 pages of goodies to install next :-)
Well, actually it lasted at least a bit later than that. I checked out at 1:42 DAZ time (MST) and while I was in a hurry to check out before I had to leave I don't recall seeing a time warning. I might have missed it though.
Thanks again for a great sale. But now after spending over $120 I need a good gift sale (Hint, Hint)
Either something else even better will come up during the holiday sale or the rest of the offerings will be a disapointment on what was missed out today. I wish the time was correct, as I would have made sure I picked my stuff out if I knew what time it was actually ending. Since it was already after 11:59 am UTC-7 then the obvious logical thing would be that the sale was ending at 11:59 pm UTC-7. I went from great excitement earlier thinking I would get some awesome stuff to now I will compare all of the rest of the deals to what I missed out on. Kind of weird that todays holiday deals stink in comparison to what the flash sale was since most of the time so far this month the holicday sales were much better than the flash sales.
I didn't recive a time warning either had some stuff in the basket and when I added another item the price just changed.
Yeah, the time was wonky, but I didn't see it until after 11:59 MT (or whatever it was as). I know they use 24 hour clock on the times from past claim sales tho, so I put one of the mega bundles in my card and checked out asap. If it goes to midnight it will usually say 23:59 (no AM or PM). Sometimes they cycle the flash sales and the current one ends at 19:59 (~8:00pm) so maybe it will come back before midnight?
If not, I'm sure they'll have some great sales before or after Christmas.
The warning only comes up when you refresh the cart within the last hour, it isn't pushed to your browser. They usually expire on the hour, so if you spend too long shopping, you might not see it until too late. I knew I had at least until the top of the next hour since I put something in to look for a countdown timer, but there was none. Assuming there would be a countdown timer...
...freebies aren't "freebies" if you need ot buy something to get them for "free".
REALLY DISAPPOINTING - MERRY CHRISTMAS
It was minutes in between the times I checked in on the cart. No warning.
i missed out on that sale too. But then There's ALWAYS another sale. So no big deal for me.
That's rather interesting. Might have to do with which servers are serving the different areas? I checked after 3 [their 1] and there was indeed another flash sale, totally different.
I was thinking I could have used a good gift card sale before the flash sale! Anyways, we now have enough to render 'til Doomsday lol ...
Eek, I guess we can add that amazing flash sale to the list of amazing flash sales that those not in Daz's own timezone never get to see.
I cannot fathom why they don't run flash sales twice at opposite times. One for one half of the world, one for another. They won't lose anything, it'll be far more inclusive for people considering they're supposed to be an international store, and it won't leave a bad taste in people's mouths.
They do have the joyous code that you can use 3 times to buy some old gen 3 and before stuff for free. It lets you use the code 3 separate times without buying anything. If you buy a new release each time that is over $5 when checking out, you can get 3 of those old gen 3 and before items for free.
I wanted mega bundles for $10 though. lol Much better than a free tuna fish model! lol :)
On really amazing sales like this, it would be great if they gave Daz + members something like a 24 hour warning in our messages as to when it was going to occur, that way you have a longer time to be aware before it happens. Also extra benefit for being a plus member.
Actually my guess is that it was scheduled to end at 1PM DAZ time but for some reason (glitch) it didn't actually end then. When that happens and the sale doesn't end at the scheduled time then the 1 hour warning time isn't or can't be computed. So, no warning is shown. I have seen that with other sales that didn't end as scheduled.
Well, I still could use a good gift card sale.
...+1
...yeah I saw that and having been here for so long the selection is rather small given what I already have.
My peeve is that for just about everything in the sale page you need to buy Debut Releases, New Releases, or even an expensive bundle (most of it for G9) to unlock additional or even primary discounts. Many of us have the finds to load the cart to make the cost of the needed purchase worth the cost. There are others in the same boat as well.
Can we please just get a "real" sale with no other stirngs attached?
Omg, YES. What a brilliant idea. What the hell-- Why haven't they thought of that??? Is there somewhere we can promote this idea more? I am 100% certain it would totally make up for the rest of it getting more lackluster as time goes on.
Could even do an 'exclusive sale availablity' period where it's available the whole day for daz+ members, or 'reserve' items in that sale for a short period of time so they can complete the purchase at their local time. Fluff stuff on the side, but still.
And yes, it would mean paying money to be able to pay money. Like getting 'crowd-free merchandise shopping' at a concert when buying an expensive ticket. But, like... aaahhhh I want this so much now. Maybe suggest it to Jack Tomlain over on the + forums or something
The flash sale of genesis 8 and 8.1 items including some very expensive bundles let you get 6 of them for $10 each with no other strings attached.
Well it looks like I totally missed out on the $10.00 sale all together... but... I wouldn't give up my volunteer time at our local animal shelter even for Daz... lol. The kitties need me :)
That's right! I've been saying this for a while...that would be called a bonus!

I'm rather disappointed I missed out on that flash sale cause I couldn't figure out which new releases or if 3 where free of at max make 3 spereate puchases. I spent all my flash time trying to figure out the maximum with cash at the ready AND then my cart restored max prices and I emptied my cart. The replacement flash sale was insulting 50% off or something. Bad taste in mouth, not sure if from biting lip or bile.
Side note: This isn't a time zone or a U.S. vs Europe issue. Plenty of people on this side of the sea - perhaps the majority - miss these sales due to sleep or work.
I don't blame anyone for taking advantage of the discounts - 96% off in some cases (!!!) - but Daz shouldn't be praised for this kind of behavior. It's just as much a slap in the face to recent buyers as offering better deals for the Josie and Minerva bundles only days after release.
...[fiddlesticks] the last couple Flash Sales expired at 00:00 "Daz time" (23:00 where I live). The one that finally had some items I was interested in and could use would have to end 4 hours early.
Now I need to find something inexpensive that I would actually use to keep my 35% discount going. This is nuts.
Thank you for your service to the animal shelter. And you are right, it is much more important than DAZ sales. I'm sorry you missed the $10 sale though.
