Looks like the glitch causing the 55% discount to be applied twice has been fixed. It affected items that had a PA in each of the two mega sale groups. This was a pretty small group of items, but a discount of 80% can not be sneezed at. A few more items I will likely never use purchased :-)

Oh damn, people finally noticed c.c I was hoping some might pop up in the next round too. Farewell, secret black friday sale~

I had hoped for the same, but as I said, it was a small list and the chance of any of it being on my wish list was pretty small, so maybe better that the temptation of items I do not really need is removed!
...letsee it's now 15:03 Daz time and we've only had two of six groups so far. Need to run off to do errands but don't want to miss the items I've been waiting for.
...letsee it's now 15:03 Daz time and we've only had two of six groups so far. Need to run off to do errands but don't want to miss the items I've been waiting for.
The first group was up for 8 hours. The second has been up for 7 hours now, and it is still up. Doesn't mean anything for the future, just saying... :)
It's ten past ten in the evening here, and if the last four groups take as long in rotating as the first two have done, then I won't be seeing them. Either putting the store on sale a chunk at a time over 24 hours is as daft an idea from Daz's point of view as it is from mine, or they really don't like European money!
Either putting the store on sale a chunk at a time over 24 hours
I'm starting to hope that it's not going to be over 24 hours, but over at least 48.
6x8=48, it would make sense...
You're right, it would. In about as much as a Europe-wide shortage of 3D assets beginning with the initials G-M would, anyway :)
Well, if this math is correct (and it usually isn't :))), then if you stay up an hour more, you can catch the beginning of that sale. Then sleep, and still catch the next one.

I got Aiko 4 Pro and Aiko 3 Mega bundles for ~$10 each (86% off) and while they're not exactly relevant content, I like the idea of having the old stuff to tinker about with so totally worth it to me.

Your math can't be any worse than mine :) I think there would be a limit to the interest I had in any sale that had already been running for hours when I got up. Daz are far too well known for pulling the rug out from under people who place an order at the last minute, putting the price back up again in the middle of the transaction. That's already happened to me at least once before and I'm in no hurry to go through that performance again.

Foolish mortal! That's what they want you to do!
That way, it shall start and you will encounter sleep deprivation, reduced to mutterings about needing to provide tribute to the Daz Studio gods, as you gradually cull the next lot of hundreds of must-have purchases down to something vaguely affordable... It'll take you hours.
And then the next round of sales commence, leaving you a gibbering wreck of incohearant mental wreckage!
Seriously, why does this video come to mind whenever I think about the sales on this place? XD
Unless they really want to piss off the vendors on the back half of the alphabet, my guess is that the sales are only going to get to M tonight, then the sale will be "EXTENDED ONE LAST DAY!" to Sunday, and then on Monday everything in the store goes on sale yet again as a "SUPER CATCH UP".

I had spotted that Aiko 3 bundle as well, but I already own it (or at least everything in it). A3 stuff may be old, but if you have the relevant clones (which I do) it is easy to use her clothes on the Genesis 1-3 figures, as well as her morphs. Only the character textures take some effort to move over.
lol. For all those underwhelmed, I see Rendos black friday is a massive 35% off a purchase of at least $25.
Renderosity has been working very hard to keep people from buying on their site.
The worst part about that voucher is that any item currently on sale is excluded. Since many items have something off (often a miserly 10 or 20%) then all of those are excluded, leaving you a limited choice of full price items to enjoy this "massive" 35% off. And here we are moaning that DAZ has dropped their discount from 60 to 55! To be fare to Rendo, some of their base prices (and only some) are cheaper than here.
The base prices are lower, but the main thing that keeps me from shopping there is I don't really like almost everything they seem to sell. I feel like the quality restrictions are far more lax (or nonexistent) there compared to here. Of course there are still some amazing items, but there's a vast, vast ocean of V4-7 and tiny, impractical outfits for her to swim through to ever find anything (so like here, but much worse.) Also Daz actually has a premium membership that doesn't make you sad.
...of course it always seems when there is somewhere you have to be (or in this case something you've been waiting for) "the bus always has to be late".

100% Agreed. As many complaints as we get over here over skimpwear, it's much worse on other sites.

...I - L is actually I - M as I found Mec4D's PBS Shaders vol.1 for Iray (which has been on my wishlist for a while) in the next sale group.
Nnngh. Mec4D's shaders is one I've been hinting about.
NNNNGH DANG IT
Yeah I saw it earlier too ... wishlisted so damn fast.

...OK been 8 hours now. Waited and and still nothing changed (15 min past 16:00 "DST" already)
Need to get out and do those errands. This one better be at least 8 hours long like the last two.
Renderosity has been working very hard to keep people from buying on their site.
But nothing already discounted or Prime can take the coupon. So... yeah...

And we're on! :)
