    Wish this was a couple weeks ago when I had tokens to burn... definitely would've indulged. They didn't give me anything to inspire me to spend my money then, though, so looks like it stays in my pocket now, too.

    There's always another sale.

    I don't know what you have on your wishlist. It's a pretty good sale! I didn't spend much because I;m still drowning in holiday swag. Even so, I got no tokens, no membership, nothing. I still got 92% off some PA items, most notably https://www.daz3d.com/bw-cairo-grace-outfit-for-genesis-9-genesis-8-and-81-female and https://www.daz3d.com/stone-throne

    Most pleased with the item sniping tonight! I'm patiently waiting for deals on https://www.daz3d.com/hid-raina-for-genesis-9 and https://www.daz3d.com/xi-superhero-muscle-car . March Madness, I reckon!

    I think I might've felt better about it if it wasn't for the buy-in that I had no use for. When I split the price of that over the items I was considering, I felt less happy about the prices. But I'm glad you found some treasures!

    I got 90% off items without any buy-in. This is a nice way to kick off the week!

    Okay, I admit my error. I was trying to focus on stacking it with the WL sale for three items with the code, and that's why I wasn't doing so well. Once I sorted my WL low->high and just started throwing stuff in, I did a lot better. Looks like I might get a cart after all. :)

    Cool, I'm glad you gave it another shot, and I hope you're able to get some good deals on things on your WL.

    I bought so much stuff, so cheaply, that I feel guilty.

    That was an unexpectedly nice end to the night (possibly month, depending on Lunar New Year sales).

    I still had my $6/$18 coupon left, so I got a bunch of PA stuff and threw my coupon at it, which gave me some darn good prices, the satisfaction of my coupon not going to waste, and some tokens. Turned around and used the tokens on the EXTRA-WISH sale, and with those plus everything from there being on the flash sale, the prices all dropped down enough that they easily ate the asset I'm super unlikely to use and I could still call it a good deal.

    The first cart got me a lot of random props and pose sets I've been sitting on forever, thinking "well, if it ever gets down super cheap..." The second cart got me the stuff I needed for two characters I've been waiting on (one of them being the blue-maned lion @paulawp demoed for me a while back - had all the pieces except the dForce fur) plus All The Rabbits. I need the rabbits for exactly one scene, and probably only two breeds, but it makes my heart happy to have the whole set, and maybe I'll find an occasion. Or make one.

    And I used the 20% coupon I mentioned earlier on a gift card before I went shopping... extra price drop there.

    So thanks everybody for posting about your deals, or I would've given up and missed out. Very much appreciated. :)

    Well, somehow...

    managed to put together a cart yesterday for ~$150 with a total value of over $4000, and then life interfered and forgot to actually buy. Its back at $1600 -> Clear cart.

    Today is...   less tempting.

  • Totally missed the flash sale. I saw the banner in Daz Studio - but I was busy making art & wasn't inclined to go looking. Oddly, I don't mind. I haven't felt like buying since the end of the holiday sales.

    I miss all the sales right now. I am still pretty shopped out from last month (here and in general). Since the change of memberships, I have spent a lot less here than I used to. At first it was almost uncomfortable, but it has allowed me to rediscover content I had completely forgotten I even own.

    Thank you <3 I didn't do a buy in.

    Don't be.

    I have bought a few things I wouldn't have purchased otherwise. So it's money for the PAs!

    Do I need the 10th or I don't know how many demons I have just here at DAZ? No, I don't need it. But if it's at this price I'll consider it.

    As a side note: I'm still paying more / item with the flash sale than I pay for Unreal or Unity products!

    It turned out well for you after all. Excellent! Glad to hear!

    Wow. I had absolutely ZERO intention of buying anything yesterday. But that flash sale was just too good to pass up. For ~$45, I got nearly all the figures I'd wishlisted for upcoming character projects, so now I have almost everything I need. The buy-in was a new Daz+ item which I'd also wishlisted. Spent 8 tokens, got 16 back. I'm with paulawp (marahzen). I almost feel guilty. Except I don't. laugh Thanks, Daz!

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,137

    How much are todays new DAZ+ releases for DAZ+ and Premier members? 
    I'm seeing $18.19 for the Japanesese Town XI Japanese Town | Daz 3D , and $12.59 for the Jungle Huts1 Jungle Huts 1 | Daz 3D

    Me too!  Ahh well at least it was Monday so we also received double tokens.  I got 13 items at $20 and now I have my 8 tokens ready for Thursday!

    The Japanese town is 5.03 and the Jungle Huts is 3.14, if you have them both in the cart together, it's 2.90 and 1.82.

    Those are the Premier prices. 

    If you'd also like the Daz+ prices then the town is 5.59 and the huts 3.49. (ETA: Or 3.91 and 2.44 for both, going down to 3.29 and 2.06 with one of today's other new releases)

    When was the flash sale yesterday? Which PAs were on sale?  I checked the store a couple of times, didn't see any great sales and left stuff in my cart hoping there would be a better sale today.

    Oh, you really missed out! crying
    I noticed the sale around noon or early afternoon Daz time. It lasted until the end of the day. It didn't advertise specific PAs, I don't think. Soooo many things were on drastic reduction and stacked fine with coupons, tokens and other sales. I bought two carts throughout the day. Many things were way over 90% off. The price shown in the store was much higher than the cart price most of the time (probably stacking at work). It was stunning.

    Agreed. It was extra great because it didn't need a code (unless you were stacking it with something else that did), so if you had your monthly coupons sitting about yet waiting for some love, good time for 'em.  I had quite the haul of Fugazi and Zeddicus stuff, although maybe that's just because there was a lot of that on my wishlist. There were a few other PA's I grabbed too.

    Wow. I don't know how I missed it! I guess I checked at Daz midnight and again in the morning and didn't see anything special so I never checked back. crying

    I notice a lot of the flash sales tend to start within an hour give or take of Daz Noon, though I can think of a couple that were later in the evening. At this point I just check the home page whenever the new LD batch goes up.

    I've noticed that many of those flash sales seem to hit the store around midday Daz time (US Mountain Time). I'm usually here checking on the Lightning Deals (I've gotten some great ones recently), so I'm checking the store throughout the day. For Monday's sale, it was also advertized in DIM and the new scene window in the Daz program as well. And, of course, someone will usually mention it here in the forums. We all get busy, though, and I doubt that Daz is many people's top priority in life. Thankfully, there's always another sale in the near future. smiley Wishlist and wait for the right sale. That's been my strategy for years now. 

    Edit: LOL. SilverGirl got there before me. Yep. What she said.

  • Too bad for me, but I was having fun with Tara and FirstBastion's Old Bridge, which I've been intending to use for quite a while. Curses, foiled again! But there is always another sale. I may console myself with today's Wishlist deal, even though the deals aren't quite as good. Moral of the Story/Pro Tip: If you are working in DS & it has an ad for a Flash Sale, check out the store while your latest masterpiece is rendering.

    That 50% wishlist discount would be juicy, but doesnt seem to work the way its advertised. I suspect its non stacking.

    Yes, words to "DAZ by", which I've also learned from experience.

    I've done some tests with some of my WL items that are in the current (arctic afternoon) Winter Wishables selection and they all discount in cart to 75% off, which is correct for that stacking. Now it may be working only sometimes.

    ETA: Isn't the countdown timer great?

    When you are in a waiting line, YES. When you are trying to get a project done, NO.
