    You're killing us and the artist. Poor Alessandro Am pulled his incredible shark because of low sales.

    I woulda grabbed it, but not for that price. C'mon. I had it wishlisted and was waiting - probably a year or so- before it dropped to a sensible price level.

    The only thing DAZ is responsible for is having too many sales which has made us all cheapskates and as such most don't purchase anything at intro or normal prices because they know it will eventually be heavily discounted. As for pulling the product, that is on him as I see no logical reason to pull it, sales or not IMHO.

    I had to get that hair, as much for the nostalgia value as for anything else. My mum used to do mine like that for school when I was small and I hated it because I wanted a 'proper' ponytail like all the other girls or none at all. I'll be able to embarass all the little G3F kids now that I have the power. Exits, laughing evilly... :)

    This amusing image was made using the DeForce modifier on the alarm clock.

    The sale has been worth it though, I have picked up some items throughout.

     

    What a great idea...I'm going to try that if I need some squishy metal, or I want to try some Dali-ish work. :)

    Okay, I want the Tra La La hair, but it's not showing up so I can put it in the cart!
    "Hide Items I Own" is unchecked, and it's only showing four items, including Philly Hair, which I already own.
    A store search doesn't show it, either, and refreshing the page doesn't help.
    What's going on?
    Darn it, that's the only thing that I want!
    It even says, "5 items". When I reload the page, Tra La La flashes once and is gone.

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    it flashes and disappears? do you have ati's browser add on and have you got something checked in the options? I've had that happen - it was a carrara or something product and I think I had something checked in my options to NOT show carrara or soemthing like that.

    It's the first time since this started that I didn't own any of the free products. I grabbed The Portello for free, then bought the Ochre City Iray Addon to get HollyWords, Tra La La Hair, and Frankie.

    I've got a couple more new items I want to buy, but I'm holding out to see if I need them for other four hour freebie offerings. There aren't any incentives to hurry up and buy now, so everything released during this sale will still be new for a couple of weeks, so no rush. Besides, I've just over $100 left for November's budget, so I'm being careful. Don't want a must-have new release to show up when I don't have any budget left! lol

    As much as I hate to say it, there are just too many great products on here.  I know that sounds ridiculous.  But, there's no way I can afford to buy all of it even at introductory sale prices.  I will on occasion, buy a new release at the intro 30% off, when I have an immediate use for it....or, if it's just so well done and I have the extra cash, that I don't mind spending it.  It's usually a great hair model that does it for me...or a Stonemason set.  But otherwise, I have to wait for the really great sales if I want to buy more than just a few of these items.  Even with buying smart and in volume during the sales, I spent a large amount of cash at Daz last year.  Even items that are outstanding like Aeon Soul's Legend Armor, I have to wait for a least a decent price drop in order to justify spending money on more outfits.  That one is top notch.  But, I still have to watch the budget.  So, no, I don't think I'm a cheapskate - just someone who has a lot of fun buying these items, but not with unlimited resources.  If I were to start all over and just buy the items that I use most often, I could probably have saved myself a ton of cash.  But, half the fun of shopping on here is looking for the really great bargains.  So, I have a huge runtime full of stock that I can't even remember buying.

    Shopping Cart Jenga is addictive!

  • Just a side note to that last statement...a few of my most used products:

    Seema Hair from Swam

    Dragonfly Hair from Goldtassel

    Facegen

    Breast Control Zev0

    NGS2 

    Wet Body Iray G3F

    HDRI Outdoor Environments

    IDG Iray FX Shaders

    Isource Andromeda

    Measure Metrics / Figure Metrics

    Just a few that come to mind immediately.

  • I have been looking at this hair for a while and have looked around. Does anyone recognize it by chance?

    https://www.daz3d.com/trefoil-eavan-v4-bundle

    I have been holding out on buying, mostly because I have spent too much already. I have not liked enough of the freebies at once to trigger me to spend to get more of them. I do have a few things I am thinking about getting to add to my helpful resources list.

    Wow! I didn't know you could double-dip like that. I'm glad I saw your post-- with only 40 minutes to spare, I grabbed my free Portello, too. Thanks for the tip!

    Oh, thanks! I never even thought of 'googling' it. I just looked through the hair and never ran across it. :)

    This was the thread. All the way back to August of 2012, wow!  Edit- and another newer hair that looks like it is Marigold Hair but it doesn't have the long bangs.

  • Woke up in the middle of the night last night - I missed the 3-7am (China time) batch on Thurs/Fri night as I work late and can't get up at that time - so managed to pick up the Monique7 HD addon (even though I don't have Monique 7 yet, but I'll get her at some point soon).

    This morning I got the Tra-La-La hair :)

    Thanks Daz - keep 'em comin' ;)

    I have Marigold on my wishlist. :) I kind of thought the hair might be for V4, since the outfit was. I understand why sometimes the Pa's products can get buried and not found. Thanks so much for your help. I am going to have to remember to 'google' in the forums when looking for products too.
