anatomical elements on sale but disappear from cart

edited July 2021 in The Commons

Hello everyone! I looked at the sale going on today, the MONSTERS LURKING sale, and noticed that the female anatomical elements were on sale for only $1.00. The male ones never loaded on the page (I tried on my phone, too), so I added the female item to my cart. When I went to check out, though, it showed the item in my cart but when I clicked 'Check Out,' it took me to another page that said my cart was empty.

Anyone else having this problem? Are these items glitched? I would like to purchase both, but the male ones won't load on the sale page and the female ones vanish from my cart.

    Those items should not appear there as they are actually not available as individual products, only as part of named figures bundles.

  • Thanks for the reply! What a bummer!

    If you buy like any figure bundle you'll get them. Just look at the discription at the bottom of the product it will say if it's included. Once you got it from one, then you got it. There are a "few" character specific variations but those are included with the character. However not every character will come with the maps for it.

    And you do have to buy a female and male seperatly for their specific anatomy.

    Depends on the figure you buy, both have been included in the “Name 8.1” bundles for example

    while the responders to the OP above accurately describe the usual state of things w/respect to the DAZ handling of anatomical elements for their figures, I respectfully assert that both the G8 series male and female anatomical elements were indeed available for sale individually for $1 each, without the usual pro-bundle requirement last month. I now own both, and I don't play the DAZ pro-bundle game. They happened to be part of the recent gender-flow oriented sales a few weeks back.

    it is very probable that the original poster is correctly identifying a store error or oddity.

    to the OP, a ticket to support may get your your desired products for the advertised price.

    point being, while it is out of the norm, everyone's usual *certainty* about these things is... wrong.

    eta: seeing as the OP even posted a screen shot fo the store item in question... lol.

    tiresome species,

    The last month incident was also an error (confirmed by DAZ) which was quickly corrected

    interesting,

    so I 'scored' due to a DAZ store mistake? OK, I'll guess i'll take it...

    looks like they've kind of made the same mistake again, much to the consternation of the OP.

    good to know, since my entire transaction looked and behaved as if it were all perfectly intentional.

    given the sale context, it also seemed ... well, um, normal?

    heh,

    Maybe having the Anatomical Elements appear now and again for sale, is related to their price being lowered from 99,999.99 USD to 1 USD around June 25th.

    That was when they were doing the catch-up deal on bundles - discounting a bundle to relfect that the purchaser had the very expensive anatomical elem,ents was what made the bundles come out free when they shouldn't have.

    so, can we assume that there's an overt value judgement being proposed by the market-makers here ($99,999.99 -> $1)?

    (and there I was, thinking the G8 anatomical elements were a good deal at $1 each... silly me! perhaps a refund request is in order!)

    lol,

    You can assume anything you like, but it will not be a reliable guide to reality. As I said earlier/elswhere, the price was reduced so that the offer to purchase bundles for a cost proportional to the items people didn't own would work - the anatomical elements are not for sale outside bundles so the price is notional anyway (it think it was set high as an extra reminder not to set the products live in the store).

    I'm not getting into the conversation, but the title conjures funny images of an actual shopping cart full of detachable anatomical elements.

    No more assumptions required!

    According to your complete, extensive, and thorough explanation, we can now all safely conclude that the general DAZ Inc. valuation of a G8 figure's so-called "privates" is ... priceless!

    Well, I couldn't agree more!

    I'll quietly take my $2 worth of priceless privates and sneak into the ether now.

    best,

    I probably shouldn't say this but I think it is funny that DAZ doesn't include genitalia with a figure when they use sexuality in the product details identifying a figure's sexual preferences. I mean if parts of the human body are too dirty why is who they as human sexually do or do not do okay? I mean I am okay with what you do sexually but if one is bad are they not both bad?

    Think of Hollywood movies of the 50's, where the pinnacle of romantic relationship was a long kiss.

    It's actually funny that Hollywood has tought the rest of the world about american way of life, which turns out not being true in america...

    The twin bed thing? LOL.

    Here's the funny thing. My parents actually had separate bedrooms. (He died a few years back.)  The we love each other but I just can't stand the snoring argument. BTW, that is a rule me and my husband made back when we got married...no separate beds/bedroom.  I recently revealed that to my mom who is in her 70's and she was like freaked out asking, "How can you stand that?"

    No, it's not that genitals are bad/dirty. It is Daz's attempt to keep people from making sexually explicit images using the Daz human 3d models that look like teens or children. Because that is child porn, which is very, very, very bad & also very illegal. 

    So Daz only sells Anatomical Elements/genitals with Pro bundles (or whatever they call the new type of expensive bundles) for ADULT figures. Once in a while they slip up, however. After the release of one of the genderfluid bases (August, I think), some people questioned the inclusion of any gens given how young they appeared.

    I don't buy that arguement.  

    No "parts" for teen and child figures is a given. I don't want to see that or know that.

    I am just saying if you want to define a characters sexuality as a selling point that you should be woke enough to include such parts. If you don't want to go that route, don't try to define a figure's sexuality in the figure's details. You can't have it both ways...

    Daz has never said why they don't sell the anatomical elements separately, so any chains of deduction based on their supposed reasoning are unsupported and likely to fall down.

    Understandable, but on the other hand, by making it hard/expensive to get the parts, they have opened the market for third party tools, which can even make the needed and matching textures on the fly

    Not trying to be a "B" but what is the Daz official reason for no supplying the "parts" since it is not adverse to this new reveal of sexuality of characters?

    I think I have more of a  reaction to the impact as to the details statement than the have/lack of "parts.". I think maybe TMI is given in the details. I want Torment etc to be what I want not what the PC police or whatever to define him.

    Daz has not given a reason. However, a person's identity does not necessary say anything about how active they are - they are not obliged to perform a minimum number of acts within a set period to qualify - so I'm not seeing a link in any event.

    Why would anyone either gush over or feel constrained by DAZ ad copy?

    Torment is a computer file.

    When I use Torment it is whatever I decide it is. It is not sentient.  It does not identify as anything.

    Use it however you want.

    Daz is not the only source for anatomical elements.
