    The little Easter gifts are cute, and it's nice that coincidentally, I only have one of them already ('The Egg').

    I have all of them already, so nothing for me. :-(

    Wishlists don't come true for me, as nothing in mine is in the sale.  Oh well.

    Yes, I also already have the Easter gifts. I guess it's a catch-up for folks who missed them previously.

    i dont have the poses ... the rest is a repeat pretty much. I have said thos before , but if you're going to buy product here, its pretty much necessary to have DAZ+ or Premiu, and I think Premium has way more bang for the buck. For instance, today... I did the 70% off WL items... it was $82 just for those. I threw a New Release in, none that I really want at all, but its the game played here ... the price dropped way down, but still pretty high. Then I added my 3 tokens, and on top of that my $10 off PA coupon. The WL items then went to 85% off.That's an acceptable discount overall, considering none of the items had any dicounting already.  although the resulting price is still higher than what I used to feel good with, but it is what it is now, with the base pricing being so high. Anyway, I have not checked out yet, but the potential is for sure there. I think the best thing with the Premium is that you can build tokens really fast. If you keep buying you can maintain that level for continuous decent discounting, as long as you can stack them. 

    I sound like a DAZ commercial.

    Where are the Cookies? Are they perhaps referring to the "Happy Easter Treats"?

    same (except the egg, but I already have eggs from a lot of other sets)... and I haven't even used any of them yet. Would be nce if Daz made it so everyone could enjoy, but oh well.

    ..OK found an issue with confusing wording about discounts again.  This time in the Easter Featured Artist Stores, where it states 

    Plus get an extra 40% off* up to 10 items when you include any "Easter" New Release

    Or get an extra 50% off* if they were on your Wishlist 

    The first line is pretty clear, 40% off with an Easter New Release , but the second statment sounds as if the item only needs to be in the wishlist. to qualify for rte extra 50% discount.  I tested it, and yes, a new item is also needed for the wishlist discount as well.... however, I only get the Extra 40% not 50% discount . (8.78 at 40% is 5.27  At 50% it should be 4.39).

    The item I used was the dForce Shrug Style Outfit for Genesis 8 (by Leviathan/ which is listed among the "Classic" category at 60% off

    it has also been on my wishlist since before last week.

    The or 50% if it is in your wishlist is an addition to the 40% off with a Featured New, not a separate offer.

    Again not just one but two character bundles where I own all the compenets from having purchased the pro bundles are taking up spaces in my Lightning deals. And this is not the first time this has happened! I wish DAZ would have a sale to purchase bundles for only the cost of items not owned so I could 'purchase' the bundles and eliminate this problem.

    Same here.

    They need to make it that when a Pro bundle is purchased all the items in the bundle are flagged as purchased

    ...I actually worked through the math on this. The item in question ( A PA item not DO) is in the "Classic" category with a base discount of 60%  The base price of it is 21.95 USD.  60% off of that brings the price down to 8.78 USD which shows on the item's listing on the sale page.  That has nothing to do with it being on a wishlist . . The additional discount (40% or 50%) is only triggered if one purchased a new release with a final resulting price  of 5.27, or 4.39 USD respectively

    The word "Or" is pretty straightforward usually means a choice of one or the other, but with the way it was worded, along with explanation above, only tendes ot make the matter more confusing. Meanwhile The word "Plus" means "in addition to".not "substituted for".

    I've dealt with some fairly esoteric math in my day, but his is just plain screwy.  As I see it, more likely the wishlist discount simply may have not been functioning at all an d could have been an oversight in the setup for Sunday.  It is not like that hasn't happened here before.

    I have them all too! There's an nonzero chance I picked them up as last year's Easter freebies if they were doing similar giveaways back then. :)

    I think what's happening is a lot of old Pro bundles got split into character bundles and add-on bundles. Those contain the same items (all of which you own from the original Pro bundle) but those new character/add-on bundles aren't part of the Pro, so they show up as unbought. Would be nice if Daz would do the database magic to flag the character/add-on bundles as owned whenever a Pro bundle gets split up.

    Yes-but the problem has existed for a long time.  An example would be getting a Pro Bundle, and one of the lesser expensive variations would be included with it (Like a Standard bundle) and the bundle inside the pro bundle would not be flagged as being purchased.  It just adds to the confusion and frustration.  And even still, sometimes I purchase things from the store and they don't come up as purchased. It's completely random too.

    That's only a G9 issue. G8.1 and earlier bundles have been left as they were. Trouble is, some folks own all the stuff from those bundles and then the bundle pops up on LD and is a wasted slot. Perhaps more troublesome, there is the chance someone might buy a Pro Bundle when they already own most or all of the bundle's included products.

    Difficult to say. Perhaps you need all of them. This at least looks like a large corridor with a lot of interesting features.

    ...a similar split also happens with some clothing and hair items . I've found a number of clothing products which have only a single base texture and you need to purchase am extra texture pack to get a variety. Some hair products are like that too however that is not as bothersome as I have Slosh's UHT hair shader kits and Chevybabe's Backtlight Hair Shaders.

    Should be fixed, though the PAs on offer have changed now (each group runs for three hours).

    Might've been fixed before, but now it's re-broken.

    Of course, lately there's not only 'always another sale' but 'always something about the sale that discourages me from buying.' 

    Thinking I might pull the trigger on a few older Stonemason sets that have been on my list a while. Urban Bundle #1, Tin Pan Alley, Urban Sprawl 2, and The Warehouse come out to just a bit over $18, so I can throw the PA coupon at them and get them all down to 93% off. No tokens to add, but I don't usually have tokens, and they all just hit a new recent best with this sale. I've had a few ideas that had to go on hold because I didn't have a proper backdrop, and these ought to fill that gap. I'm not super giddy about the deal, but it's decent enough.

    Had my eye on the recent D+ VYK character as the new release, but some quick math says she wouldn't have discounted everything else more than her price, just come in at a decent bargain herself. So I made a note of what her price had been if the sale was working, and if she gets down that low again, I'll consider it.

    I THINK ITS A SALE - TODAY

    Yes, I believe so. A couple free items, yeah, from the older pool, but I've found something. Free is good.
    The 3 DO for a buck each with a new release not a bad thing either.
    Then the DO items at various percent off. And, as a bonus, if you are a Premier member ... or DAZ+ but not quite as good, you can build up 8 tokens pretty fast, then use the 8 tokens to get another 40% off the already pretty decent discounting.
