    The BYOB code is not working for me, are there any special requirements that aren't listed?

    I didn't notice any New items in the selection. It's not a bad deal but skipping for now since only a couple of my WL items are included.

    Was hoping Maryam 9 was on more than a 50% discount so could take advantage of stacking. I know the Pro stacks with a New item but is still $21, which is too much when I only want the base figure and the make-up. The clothing is nice looking but I have enough of those styles, yes even hijabs, and also the Kelly hair.

    The Mikey Bundle is actually listed as one of the free character bundles for the Premier members.

    Well nutz. It has several new items on the list for me, and not much of anything I'm interested in that's not new. But that's been a thing for a long time, I own too much stuff.

    Also there needs to be exactly five of the selection items in your cart; no more and no less.

    The old BYOB let you get items for roughly 30 cents each. In comparison to that it stinks. It does have a much larger selection, but most of it ends up being way more expensive then other recent sales while only some of it is well discounted. Last year's item bundles let you get a bunch of stuff for around 50 cents per item. At $2 an item only a small selection is a good deal. There might be a bunch that is not a bad deal, but only little is a really good deal. I usually only buy daz+ items when i can get them for 95% or more off unless I could really benefit from the item right away.

    I unfortunately never got to experience that awesomeness. Really wasn't expecting that only one year in I wouldn't be able to find a deal worth using my $6/$18 coupon on during the anniversary sale month of all things, though.

    Last month’s PA sales were better than this month.

    The only surprise so far is the 30% off GC at the beginning.

    But I missed this because of other "surprises"...

    The 30% was only for Premier members and unfortunately I was not a Premier member at the time because of the poor offer to trade in DAZ+ membership I received at the time. Now my store credit is nearly gone and I definitely could use a repeat of that Gift Card sale.

    I think today's BYOB is not so terrible - Maybe even pretty good! Probably do it later. It includes a fair number of bundles that make the $2 ask well worth it. You end up paying 50 cents to 70 cents an item, depending what you pick. And these are G8+ items. No complaint from me! It pays to remember that the 30 cents an item of times past was also largely moldy old items - m4/v4 and stuff from poser 7 days, as I recall. It's easy to be nostalgic. It's not so easy when you get the cool prop for really cheap, load up the item, and realize the textures are terrible and there are actual modeling problems that will be a big pain to fix. >_> It's true, I haven't spent that much compared to what I spent in the Spring. It's also true it's been a normal month for me on Daz site. I bought some stuff, got some pretty good deals, and I got nothing to cry about. laugh

    How are you paying sub-dollar prices when the offer is 5 items for $10, or $2 each?

    It's a simple calculation. The bundle is made of 3 or 4 items, and the bundle price is less than the price for the 3 or 4 individual items, anyway. So, just as an example, you get https://www.daz3d.com/22-parker-road-bundle that is 4 items for $2. That particular bundle is also about 96% off in today's special.

    Ah, got you. It's by filling your cart with bundles. That's a good way to do it.

    I remember 8 PC+ items BYOB used to be $2.99 or $3.99 as a sale for Xmas. Now 5 PC+ is $10. That's more than 250-400% Price increase crying

    Not everything in BYOB were that old. It included almost all of G3 era (when 8 was current), iray addons for the old stuff and iray shaders. 8 piece at 1.99 for all. So, 25 cents per piece. Very good for people new to start/increase asset library on a low budget.

    Now having some newer bundles at $2 per piedce do sound a very decent offer. Too bad DAZ+ is so expensive now.

    Yes and you would get items like https://www.daz3d.com/wonderland-alice-v4 . Ok great! I rather pay $2 to get something like https://www.daz3d.com/modern-house-2-bundle or https://www.daz3d.com/granite-bedroom-bundle or even https://www.daz3d.com/driftwood-spa-and-pool because it's better value for money, IMO.

    I don't recall 8 for $1.99. I do recall 8 for $2.99. In fairness, there was surely also some G1-G3 in there. But there was a lot of V4/M4 and it sticks in my head a lot.

    Agreed! I have a couple months left on my Daz+, and that's likely all for me for a while.

    I don't know where to put this comment. I'm really gag-reflex repulsed by the so-called anime and toon offerings I've seen since filatoon came out. Just ew! No to Vicky and Mikey et al. I will never buy any of that!

    I think you are mistaken when had DAZ that kind of sales and what was in them. For example, there were sales like I'm speaking about in 2022 too and you could get Gen 8 !!!  bundles etc...laugh

    ps: https://www.daz3d.com/zsazsa-character-bundle was just $0.37 then... I got Gen 8 & Gen 3 PC+ items I wanted at that price.

    I don't say $2 is a bad price for new people, but veterans coupon jugglers remember the good old times when PC+ items were thrown after you dirty cheap ($0.37, etc..) and the standard price for PA/DAZ products was $1.99 or $2.99 when there was a big sale. Not to mention you could combo it with coupons cool  and it was less than 2 years ago...

    I think promos tend to get a bit worse every year. I found this blog that confirms that at some point it was 1.99 for 8: https://www.daz3d.com/blog/how-to-get-the-most-out-of-the-semi-annual-platinum-club-sale?srsltid=AfmBOor1G1fHXvAyMCYMzDYQZw5_VoUegGoivkr9vEu2rV6ivrKo6SpO

    Since that was when i still was around and also called PC+, should had been 2020 or 2021 at most.

     

    I definitelly came back a bit too late. I should had paid more attention one or two months before and maybe i would have grabbed a annual daz+ membership. Now i will have to save money and wait for something flashy (on monday i guess) and make a one month only premier purchase spree.

    Really surprised by the pricing of the new  "FG High School Bundle". https://www.daz3d.com/fg-high-school

    Its (base) price is $57.99, while it contains 3 assets at $16.98, $18.98 and $24.99.

    The total of these 3 assets is $60.95 individually and purchased in the bundle at $57.98, the gain is less than $3, that is 5% of the total price.

    Generally bundles discounts are 20-30% In most Fugazzi bundles, you buy the the bundle for price of the environment + the outfit and you have more or less the poses for free.

    And the bundle discount can be much higher. I have already seen bundles with a 40%-50% discount wrt the prices of the individual items.

    But a bundle discount so low, I think this is the first time. IMHO, it completely depreciate the bundle interest (but I am not a marketting specialist).

    Wayback Machine confirms that it's been 8 for $2.99 for quite a while (since 2016, at least). Looking back on my own purchases I suspect there were other sales during the year where it was 8 for $1.99.

    One thing I haven't seen in a while are the Anniversary Bundles, which used to come out every year and were usually either free for PC+ members or offered at $9.99.

    Looks like the last time they were offered was 2022. I miss them.

    Occasionally the bundle price has come out higher than sum of the individual items. That might have been a mistake - I don't know if the prices were later changed.

    I'll be honest, I barely even pay attention to the main offer page for the day.

    It's a complete mess layout wise, and only being daz+ I know the offers are going to be not that great now, even the door busters need to be overwhelming in potential use for $2.99

    That said, I don't care for halloween, nor anime toon stuff so this time of the year/sales/new content is of 0 interest to me in general.

    that toon stuff makes shopping easy here now... just whoosh right by them. Ueah, I'm not into toons much either, especially that style.
