    well, that newest $4 coupon got me 5 more outlet items that i didn't need, but free is free. 

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,847

    ...actually scored some useful sets.for free.

    Yep, rummaged up five more things to use the new coupon on.

    "Catch-up" sale but all the prices are higher = Not interested. No $ for Daz this weekend. Lousy for the artists releasing items during such a lame sale.

    Can we get a real catch-up next weekend?

    I see great savings in your future. Much like today.

    Last 5 of the cheaper outlet items on my wishlist are now in my library. :)

    Is this plus or above members only? Because the code doesn't work at my end.

    AFAIK, the two emailed Outlet coupons work on any level of "membership" (incl Base), for any number of outlet items (obviously 1 coupon per order... so do two orders)

    Well, I've only received the email with $3 code and it's not working, tested with first item in Outlet Store.

    So did you get the Coupon Not Valid message when you tried? Hiitting return after entering the code doesn't apply it not (it used to, as I recall, and this has caught me out more than once).

    ...so finally a number of slightly newer items that have been on my wishlist finally show up on the Featured Artist stores.  The last several  days has seen a patrly selection with even major PAs having at best 5 or so items (in some cases only one or two).  So having any of the D+FaD items knocks 40 % off .  Nice but save for a somewhat "meh" fashion pose set, everything else is G9 (including a more useful couples pose set introduced today).

    D+FaD also allowed  non members to temporarily purchase items at Daz+ prices.  Apparently with the new tier system, not anymore.

    Not all of us can throw money away buying something we may never use just to get a deeper discount even if the item is only 4 or 5$.  Why can't we also see sets and props in this category? There have been some in the Door Busters (which are just new Daz+ items at their normal price) but those don't unlock better discounts in the daily Artist Stores (like Daz+ items did in the past during this and the October sale).

    For those who are on a tight budget these are the two sales we wait all year for, but so far, this one has been a serious disappointment.

    ...and no specials on annual memberships yet like in the past.

    That $76.99 Genesis 9 Essential Shapes Bundle has been in my wishlist roughly since G9 was released. Due to some unknown combination of memberships and today's sale discount, plus a couple of tokens and the Daz+ coupon... cost me < $4 (95% discount)

    This sale's had a great couple of evenings smiley

    Thanks - I needed a good laugh. :)

    I miss the old member sales. $1.99 selections with so many items that you'd have to set yourself a daily limit. Build-your-own-bundles of Daz+ items. They weren't perfect, but they were better than this current nonsense.

    So far, it has been easy to skip the whole thing. I used the Outlet coupons and got the weekly and monthly freebies. $0 spent so far in this sale.
  • SilverGirlSilverGirl Posts: 2,824

    I'd be disappointed in the sale, except that last year it took until June 30th for it to get interesting for me. So there's still time.

    And if not, hey, not too long till the PA sale. And probably an Outlet refresh before then, and the Outlet store has treated me well. So heck with the fancy promos if I can have that. :)

    Yes I did recieve that message. Doesn't matter anymore anyway since it's probably expired.

    A bit dissapointed bur it is what it is...

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,768

    I know a lot being said about not too great a sale, but , yes, spent a few bucks, but rejoined Premier, and right now today, I am getting 90% + off a lot of items, none from the Outlet Store. I have a DFAD item and 1 Still NEW in cart. The average discount is 87%. I do have a couple pretty old items and using my $10 off Premier DAZ coupon. 21 items $67. OH -- I have 5 tokens as well applied.

    This order gives me 12 tokens. I only wish I could buy this tomorrow with double coupon days but I'm not taking the chance. I've been burned 100 times too many by sales just dropping off, and I'm pretty sure this will after the weekend as well.

    It's currently active in my cart so you should still be able to use it.

    I did purchase some outlets items before receiving the emails but I didn't purchase any of them since them (still thinking about what I want).

    Nice to hear, that it works out nicely for You. For me, the need for a DFAD and/or STILL NEW would kill all chances for such a bargain, though wink

    ...well finally, a D+FaD that includes G8 which is actually something I can and will use (a nicely styled  summer dress)..  Also a lot more items on my wishlist in the sale, several I've been wanting to get for a while.  Better jump on it now as I don't know  when there woll be another D+FaD item I could use again

    @daveso.

    Agreed, it  #would be nice if this was "double token" Monday as I'd get the 4 tokens I applied to the cart back instead of instead of 2.  Tempting to use my last ever Daz+PA coupon but still early in the month for that.

    I just used it to get 5 of the older set for free, so give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'd submit a ticket tonight.

    Today: I like that the DAZ+ items are in the Featured Artist category, however, I have all the plus items I want already. I'm sure its always possible to find something at very low cost, but this current batch are a no for me. 
    Someone had mentioned somewhere that the way the plus items are being released, daily, doesn't allow for the extra discounting by buying two as usual. IT DOES though, if you buy the D+FAD and the new door buster. 
    XI Street of Lisbon | Daz 3D went from $5.03 to $2.52 in cart when I added Lunar Lux LIE Makeup for Genesis 9 | Daz 3D to the cart. 

    I think I'm going to find another DO to add and use my $10 DO coupon, but the month is young. What could show up yet?

    just got a coupon for the Outlet Store --buy 1 get 1 .... so if a Premier member, you can get 10 for $9. That's pretty good if you need some stuff, maybe for kit bashing, etc. I'm going to look through it again. Things seem to catch your eye at different times, so just maybe I can pull out some stuff. We shall see. 

    EDIT --NOPE, you can only buy 1 and get 1 free. No more than 1, so half price.

    It seems to be valid only for one item, so buy one item, get one for free, not buy 5 items and get 5 for free.

    I don't know: I just tested it to check if daveso was right and in my cart, I only had the first item for free, not half of them. But I have yet to use the first coupon so I prefer to use it first and then use the others in order.

    yeah -- i found out after trying to buy some. Edited my post... 1 item is better than none though. I guess

    Where are you seeing this, Wendy? I have an art deco set by Forbidden Whispers as my doorbuster. Would love to have the tram as well!

    Edit: found it, it's not the doorbuster though, as far as I can see. Thanks anyway for bringing this up, I would have missed it.
