    It's weird that the skydome piece from my last comic is in fastgrab. I mean, it's my new favorite sky...

    why would that one item of that type be fastgrab? It's uncanny I tell you.

    I'd get Mika but I'm so scared that tomorrow will be ROBOTS or SPACESHIPS or Medieval themed. etc....

    And I dump EVRYTHING on this one bundle-giftcard-combo. And have nothing left after...

    It's not just shopping cart jenga, it's bank account roulette!

    I've put Mika in my cart and then emptied it again about a dozen times now. :D

  • LlynaraLlynara Posts: 4,772

    You're not alone, Ati! I finally pulled the trigger and will definitely be pinching pennies elsewhere this week. And it's only Tuesday! Ugh

  • Griffin AvidGriffin Avid Posts: 3,882

    Hahahhha I STILL have her in my card. I was online at a quarter to 12 STILL shuffling items before the switchover to the new sales.

    I am such a mess. What's weird is how I still keep coming across new vendors and new items. I felt like I saw everything, but no, something new and interesting rather often.

    I can't wait for this intensity to die off.

    I feel like gooseman in the middle of topgun.

    "I just want to graduate, Mav". lol

    Especially if you already have store credit, buy Mika Pro first, then buy store credit in a later order. The Mad Offer 16% will still apply along with the Bonus Buyer 10%.  Using the later gift card to cover the cost of Mika Pro effectively results in an extra 25% off the cost of the bundle

    It doesn't die off;  it just keeps getting more intense. However, if you buy now and see something you would rather have but can't afford, you can always return the first item.

    WAIT WAIZT WAIT. I can get MIKA now, alone WITHOUT GETTING the gift card today, BUT get the gift card how much later, like how long is that 24% good for?

    That's the big, big question.

    I think you have to buy the gift card today but can be in a separate order if I'm understanding it correctly:

    "Buyers or owners get the discount."

    Bigger question: will this be extended till tomorrow? Who knows!

    Correct. You can order the gift card in a seperate later order today after you you buy the Mika bundle. The 16% Mad Offer likely will expire today at DAZ midnight a nd the Bonus Buyer extra 30% off on the pro bundle ight disappear also.

    That's the thing. I bought storecredit a few days ago with the other big giftcard sale. It would be an instant buy if I still had any money left for another giftcard because then it would pay for itself. Which is just rationalization, LOL, since I saved more on that giftcard than what this pack costs, so it would still be "free." But there are other pro packs that I'd be able to use better... Decisions, decisions... :)

    Awwww dang. I wish I knew if this was going to happen again. I want the Mika, but I could see a more suitable bundle coming down the road.

    Does March Madness ramp up even higher as we get further in? We are about halfway through the month....

    And they haven't done a big blowout WEEKEND-based sale yet....

    They had a male figure...a female figure....Demon stuff...monster stuff....Sci-Fi has got to be around the corner.....

    And not one Aniblock yet.

    Stonemason....Petipet.....AeonSoul......Antfarm...DzFire.so far they've all been featured....

    who's left? there's Kikiatua (I dunno, all the white spaceships and bridges and decks). SOME of his stuff already.
    PerspectX, fobidden Whispers....

    Have we done enough superhero stuff? The cape and hair was very nice....and the Superhero car is a favorite.....

    It just seems to be getting Madder each week, I never considered they would give 25% off store credit, maybe by the end there will be 30%+  surprise

    Well, like I said before, if somrthing you want more comes along, for the first 30 days you can return the item you get now.

    Probably.

    Me, neither; but there were a couple of hairs in the Pro bundle that I liked. So, with a discounted price of $23 I couldn't resist. Then I could get a gift card at 24.45 of to replace the $23 store credit I used. which made my effective price for the pro bundle $17.50.

    ​I ended up picking her up with a $50 gift card because it brought me in for the Pro Bundle and the two add-on products for $17.80. Right around $15 is where I like my Pro Bundles.

    Yeah, your stuff had a bunch of red tags and lower prices so I snatched some of your work. Great stuff by the way.
    I'm sure you're tired of being told stuff like this, but the Seek End Destroy graphic comic in my signature has your drone and nails products featured. Thank you sir!

    I JUST DID THAT TOO> It was the clothes in the bundle and the black-haired variation character and (hopefully) some credits in the future for buying pro bundles- that finally got me off the fence. Store updates really soon, so...I mean, if a cute elf can sway me, I'm pretty much shot when it comes to resisting...

    Maybe it's me (or Daz math) but the 50% off pc+ items in the "Todays Mad Offer" doesn't seem to be working. 
    A $1.99 item in cart with Mika only reduces to $1.79. Is this a Daz math thing?
    ​If not a Mod may want to report it. sad  

    It's working for me now. But not all PC+ items are included it has to be a featured one: http://www.daz3d.com/march-madness-pc-items

    Right, right. I was on the right pc+ items, they started working correctly for me a bit after chohole reported it and I was able to finish my order.

    "Congratulations! You are a March Madness bonus buyer!" No I'm not "Have these Legendary Swords for free!" they aren't free but that's to be expected.

    Not sure if secret offer failing accidentally or failing on purpose to give people hints of secret offers.

  • SpottedKittySpottedKitty Posts: 7,232

    That's weird — if you can see the MM freebie on the sale page, that means you're both completely logged in, and qualifying as a Bonus Buyer, so the freebie ought to be... erm... free when you put it into your cart.

    I bought something from FG ( http://www.daz3d.com/first-light-skydome-and-hdri ) and was back as a Bonus Buyer with banner (I wasn't a Bonus Buyer for more than a week) and I had to update the checkout page 4 times until those swords were really free ...

    Nope, I had the freebie in my cart at the time, when I added the swords to test they weren't free. I just checked again and it's still there - though I believe the swords did go up by $3.

    Last freebie "purchase" was on the 8th, last money purchase on the 28th of Feb.

    Can you imagine going to a store and being told you must something before they'll tell you what their best discount is? You have a sales paper in your hand, but it doesn't disclose this information, either. Many people are window shoppers, just passing by, looking for a sale that catches their eye. How are these people going to find the best discount?

    I lost my discriminatory special buyer and didn't see what was going on for a few days. I've been out and about. So I missed the extra discount on Mika. I wasn't interested in a Thorne clone, but other items might have been interesting at that steep discount. But I didn't see that discount, and I didn't feel like buying an item to be told what that discount was. And this thread is 50 pages long. I don't like playing games with shopping. I suppose I must be in a minority. At any rate, that's at least one sale Daz missed out on because their customers aren't told what the special is without a prior purchase. I have no plans to buy Mika in the future, so that chance for Daz is gone. Maybe my wallet doesn't count for much, but I'm taking that vote somewhere else.

    Well, you didn't miss it yet. The extra discount on Mika, and especially the pro bundle, is still available to bonus buyers today.

    If you aren't already a bonus buer, just buy any cheap (but not free) item and you should be a Bonus Buyer again.

    It seems a nice set for fairie fans (of a skullcrushing bent) and I hope it sells well and makes all concerned happy. The only items I wanted added up to $10, and the promotional discounts didn't make it worth spending $23+ to get them. So, no cigar.

  • lx_2807502lx_2807502 Posts: 2,996

    Somehow, even though it was me that posted about the sneak peek at the secret freebie I wasn't getting, I totally forgot until now that there were freebies every few days.

    Yeah, this secret stuff doesn't encourage me to buy at all; it just makes me forget there are offers even on.
