Both of the "Shop All Here" links for these link back to Saturday's "Top" pages.
Here are the proper links for Monday's top sellers:

Thanks,
The discount system seems to be screwed up again. Somehow 60% off of $6.28 is coming out to $4.45. This should be $2.13 with the stacked Holiday 15% add. It takes me a long time to check out with Daz these days.
It's 60% off the full retail, not off the already discounted sale price.
I'd say okay to that theory...except that isn't always the case. For instance, the As You Wish bundle is showing at full price $39.95....no discount. It is listed in the Top Sellers 2016 (60% with a new release). When I add it to my cart with a qualifying new release, it shows up as $33.00. So, even if your assessment is correct, this clearly isn't the advertised discount. From full price with the 60% off and then the added 15% Holiday discount, the price should show as, $13.58. So something isn't right.
Also, that doesn't explain why cart prices change within the duration of the same special. If the percentage were always off the full retail price, there should be no way for an item to increase or decrease unless a particular qualifying item is removed from the cart (or added). I simply left items in my cart for a few hours and came back to several item price changes.
It also doesn't explain why the discounts do often stack. At least, they have been over most of the weekend. If that has changed, or doesn't count for some items, it should be noted in the ad.
You're probably using the wrong Top Seller 2016 link if it's showing no discount, check the url, it probably says saturday-december-10th. The ones I linked above are the correct urls for the Party Like it's Hot sale.
Coming back to cart price changes over the span of a few hours usually indicates a sale price fix on daz's side, fast grab changed, or a temporary sale ending.
I used the link under the stairs sale. It didn't work on the day it was posted, either
My cart just changed again with no apparent reason. I mean, I thought any sale that is still being advertised in the top banners, was still in effect. Otherwise, why have them active?
About half my cart jumped up by double...with no apparent change to the sales.
I think the lesson here is to put stuff in your cart and buy if you like the price...and not bother trying to figure out the voodoo of the cart calculation.
I am so done with these fluctuating price changes that before refreshing my cart, I always duplicate the cart to a new tab and then do a hard refresh on that new tab. So if there are any changes it would only reflect in the new tab and I would get to compare the prices in two tabs to identify which items have changed in value. A bit tedious and requires descipline, but doing this has saved me a lot of frustration recently.
Good plan. I've done that by accident as well. Daz has definitely made some sort of change to their cart software. A couple of weeks ago, I could hit the back button after changing a cart item and return to a screen of my previous cart before updating. It won't do that now. It always will refresh the screen to the current cart. I only mention this, because it seems to be about the same time that most of these really wild cart fluctualtions started happening.
I had stuff lined up and ready to hit "buy" a few hours ago. But, after my cart prices almost all doubled, I just hit "Clear Cart." It's not that the products aren't still worth it. It's that after seeing them at half that price, I'm not excited to buy them now...at least, not in quantity. I had several items that I didn't really need, but was willing to buy because the price was so low. When the price went up, the interest waned.
Daz really needs to work this out. If a sale price is no longer valid, they need to take that sale banned down off the rotation. At the very least, they need to put some sort of notice "prices good through (tomorrow...etc)" And, why not actually post the pricing formula for sales? Some sales seem to be cumulative discounts, while others seem to be a single discount. Just go ahead and post it. That way we'll know what the price should look like in cart. I had one of the Daz sales staff very clearly explain to me that Daz sales were always cumulative...meaning the special discounts would show up in cart based upon the current price of the item. So, an item priced at half off would add any extra discount from a banner ad, in cart...otherwise, it would show as full price, with the banner ad providing the discount. Then, any extras like Holiday Loyalty, or additional PC+ would be calculated upon the already discounted price...meaning that whatever the discounted price was that was generated, the added discount would be a percentage of that to generate a final in cart price.
I'm fine with however they want to do it. They just need to get it worked out so that the calculation is consistent and accurate.
