    It looks like a great sale today, especially with the extra 50% for 'Bash' items that are your wishlist. I would love to participate but I have to save up to repair/replace my main computer that was severely damaged by a lightning strike.

    Thanks for this info - I hadn't seen that "block" smiley

    ...unless, like me, you have no tokens and no desire to get one of today's new releases.

    Prices are better than usual in general, definitely. But nothing really inspiring for the stuff on my Tier 1 list, and without the extra, I'm more inclined to save my money for the PA sale and see what that brings.

    Hoping others are able to nail some awesome deals, though. If folk haven't used their monthly coupons yet, today'd be a great day to do it. :)

    The street tempted me (it felt more flexible than previous streets by Feng), but I have already spend a bit and I decided to wait for August and the renewal of the various coupons (now I'll have to decide if I'm using them before my current subscription ends or keep them in case the PA sales starts in August like it do some time :o).

    Not being a member is kind of liberating. For example, today's deals are nice, especially those two $3.99 items. If I was a member, I'd probably grab the hair and then add the outfit too for good measure. But since I'm not? I don't need the outfit, and the hair is nice, but "I have some similar hair already." so they are not enough for me to jump into membership, even for a month. I can wait until there's something I really want or a really good sale instead. Or maybe I'll just wait for the PA sale and see.

    Though I do admit that Christmas in July was nice enough to get me spending a little.

    @CharlieJudge, have you checked with your insurance company yet? I found out a year too late that my destroyed external 16Tb harddrive might have been covered by my renter's insurance from wiring damaged by extreme freezing and ice getting through my non-existent window seals and a temperature drop into the negatives one January.

    Did they modify the "stonemason-deepcore-station", I could have swear it was discount on 10 Wishlist items from a Sci Fi list and that lists seems no longer be there on banner either?

    Yes. They claim that electronics are excluded from my homeowners policy.

    I didn't even bother getting contents insurance on my house after changing companies this year because it got so expensive 

    just covering the building in case of fire and injuries to others on my property is the only reason I even have insurance 

    excesses are so high anything stolen in a burglary not worth the premiums 

    I don't own any real valuables that can tangibly be replaced anyway 

    my data on my computer and drives couldn't be, learned that lesson when my video camera was stolen soon after my mothers death along with the VHS I was copying footage of her onto, will never be able to get that back

    what my premium per year would be would actually buy me a damned good computer

    Yes, there was a Sci-fi Items list, and now it's gone. You can cross reference with sales reporting thread where people were confused (and thought those were any scifi items), so maybe they altered it to avoid confusion?

    Wasn't that advertised as 24 hours only? (I might be thinking of something else... as soon as something says "sci-fi" I stop paying attention.) 

  • Not impressed or tempted with the Daz+ for all weekend deal. The only thing you get at base is extra 30% off DOs, which is nothing when most of the non-Daz+ DOs in my WL are full price. I'd be better off re-upping Premier now instead of waiting to see if there's any new (or old) character bundles I like in Premier freebie selection. (The bundles, limited as the new ones are, & the $10 DO coupon are the perks I use most.) I may do that after I pay bills.

     

    Speaking of Premier bundles, Tabitha, Kala, Olympia, & Lawrence are added if anyone missed them before. (Angela was removed.)

    ...saw the new items this morning and saw the Medieval Forest Village with a price of 7.70 USD USD.  Had to leave for the day so I figured I'd get it when I returned home this evening only to find the price had nearly doubled since then. 

    No sale.

    Not very thrilled about the Temp-DazPlus coupon either as like mentioned above it really isn't that much of a savings and the DO items in the Featured Artists Stores are things I've passed over before.

    LIfe in the "Basic" lane

    Looks like I'll be saving a lot of money for a while.  

  • jmucchiellojmucchiello Posts: 601

    Can someone explain the point of a "featured artist store" with only one item in it? This is Magic Brush's featured store today. MB's full store is 189 items. I understand. Maybe they don't want the whole store on sale. But one item? What's the point? Am I putting too much weight on the idea that if you are featuring something, there should be some there there?

    What goes into a Featured Artist store is alrgely a matter for daz marketing, and is influenced by what other promotions affect the store. One item does seem rather few, so we will ask.

  • jmucchiellojmucchiello Posts: 601

    I only noticed after i posted: Marcosgab and Art Ken were both zero items.

    I’m confused by the thematic tag line for today’s promo, “Clever New Tools Work Like Magic.” When I click through, I don’t see any “tools” featured, and the only “magic” themed item is the Hogwart’s-style (Oxford-style) dining hall. Am I missing/overlooking something?

    New Outlet store stuff!!!

    It's been a rough few days, and as I was going to sleep I thought "man I could use a pick-me-up. Would be a great time for the Outlet store to rotate."

    Wish granted! Thanks, Daz!

    Hey, all just calling your attention to what looks like a change to today's ad: 

    Extra 20% off*
    your entire cart

    with 3 or more Outlet or Quick-Grab items


    *Items must be simultaneously in cart for discount to apply.
    Discount excludes New Releases, Memberships, Gift Cards, and Licenses.

     

    I don't think that was there when I had a quick look earlier today.

    ETA: Practical testing suggests that set-price items like the Outlook items themselves and the Z promo $2.49 items are also excluded.

    Adding to that: the 20% off also doesn't work on the 3 Outlet/Quickie Mart items in the cart

    crying some of my wishlisted outlet items got more expensive with the new outlet. I knew it was to good to be true laugh

    i'M THINKING WHEN YOU LOOK FOR AN HOUR OR MORE TO FIND A PRODUCT SO YOU CAN USE YOUR pREMIER $10 DO COUPON, you don;t need any more products.

    It doesn't help when a pile of DOs are now in the Outlet and don't discount with the coupon. Maybe we'll get something new and shiny tomorrow to use it on?

    ...that happened to me a lot. Usually the DO coupon was the last of the two I used, and then at times with only day or two left in the month. 

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,757

    Well, a new DO character bundle and its not added to the member free bunch. I would get this one by far before any of the current "free" character bundles currently in there. Guess I'll go out in a whimper, but maybe will keep current cart with Angela 9 add-on bundle for $0.30 using my DO coupon and 8 tokens,

    THey do this every fricken time. Dunno why they don't have it auto-add to the coupon. Instead folks report it and it gets fixed later in the day

    Try again - I'm seeing the Asha Character Bundle in the selection

  • FYI, the https://www.daz3d.com/steampunk-stuff has regular Victorian clothing and environments, even a few Iray shader sets and the Ghosts of Christmas G8 bundle.

    I am still on the fence about Asha. If the Wishlist deal didn't require a coupon, it would be a no-brainer for me. I probable will go ahead & reup Premier this week since there's a couple Quick Grabs I want, like the Pegasus Bundle. I'm still not a fan of Horse 3 but I do own it from a $1 deal with Centaur 9, and I am a big fan of dogs & cute fantasy critters.
