    I found something from the wishlist sale that I'll be happy enough to get, and I was even considering building a bigger cart and maybe using my coupon, but some unnamed mod made me reconsider. Probably time to take a break from the forums or at least being helpful.

    So...

    Yay! Sale! Everyone's happy! No one has any problems!

    Sadly, I can relate. That happens to me from time to time. Those 'interventions' usually leave a bad taste about being around.

     

    Regarding the sale, it unofficially ended yesterday for me after using last of my $10 off Coupons and already spending more that i had credit. I'm out of tokens, I can't sustain the punches and without them the sale does not add up very well.

    ...OK something weird is going on with the Featured Artist's sale as some items don't have a discount banner and show the full price .  When I put one of those in the cart I only get the 35% off for my punches.  I know site was pretty wonky last night as I kept getting a bunch of bad gateway and server errors.  In one instance it took over ten attempts just to post a comment.

    Awesome. Missed the wishlist fun because of things not working correctly (I know, shocker right?) during the only time I had yesterday to browse.

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 42,159

    ...once again two items on the calendar that not on my wishlist and which I'm not at  all interested in.  This is getting frustrating to the point I may just clear all the DOs (except Daz+ ones) off the list.

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,957

    I haven't gotten anything from my WL yet, but I have no DO items in it. I don;t care. I accept what is given me.Its free, its OK. 

    Today might be a good day for a big cart if you have money. I got an item in the 3rd category for $1.17 with a new debut item and my 8 tokens. The remainder of cost just melted off with numerous discounts. There are some DO original characters in those 3 offers. I noted the G9 ones at $29.xx , but, if you find the chracter bundle, it too is $29.xx. It doesn't discount has much becasue its not in the category, but still was discounted 91% -For $9.01 for the bundle, so a better deal than just the character. I would assume many of you can get it for less with coupons, etc. I dont have 3 punches anymore either so not getting the 40% off for that.

    Same!

    The wishlist sale was 60% discount on a large list of items, and 70% discount with any new release over $1. Unless it stacked with the normal Featured Artist Stores discount, it was very similar to the sale they just ran Saturday/Sunday which put storewide artists in Featured Artist Stores for (I think it was) the usual 50% discount and 60% with a Debut New release. Also not as strong as some stacking coupon-based wishlist sales that have popped up a few times earlier this month, for like additional 60% off up to 5 items etc.

    If it DID stack with the Featured Artists Stores discount, that would have been one of the best sales in recent memory (60% FA discount, 70% wishlist sale additional, +up to 40% punches, +30% tokens), but judging by the lack of chatter on here it probably didn't stack.

    Anyway, saved some money for later by being offline. There's Always Another Sale!

    If you haven't used your DO coupon yet, congratulations! DO has a huge sale today, with many items I want at great prices, mostly 92% off, and slightly older items at 95% off. However, PA items outside of DO have almost no discount, so I have to prepare eight tokens for the next PA sale (if there is one)... which means I have to spend $40...

    Of course, this might not be the lowest price this year, and I've learned a lesson: only buy the items you urgently need.

    Just in case anyone asks, this discount is Premier + Debut New + 8 Tokens + 3 Punch

    Yesterday didn't stack with Featured Artist. It was like you estimated, similar to the weekend, with ups and down. A bit cheaper probabbly but less wide the selection.

    I had already burned my PA coupon on Sunday, but those that still had it, yesterday was a good day as well.

    Today seems like a decent day for those still holding the DO coupon. I used mine on monday cause i just could not keep tokens and 3 punches perpetually.

    Sending good shopping vibes out to all who find the sales favorable today. Budget constraints mean new releases are out for me if I want to keep up my punches, which likewise means no tokens on hand.

    I can't be too disappointed, though, with the Nice List and Calendar free items adding a lot of value to that daily $2ish spent. If big carts are out, I'm still coming out ahead.

    And maybe something will work out for my two unused coupons before month's end. 

  • ValiskaValiska Posts: 159

    I'm going to change the way I do everything. This is too frenetic. No wishlist, purchases once or twice a month when I'm ready, same.as elsewhere.

     Also several of those bundles are in the (skimpy) Premier bundle selection, if you're a Premier member not holding onto that coupon in case you love the next December release.

    And they still don't have the sales page list now going to the correct categories.

    Thanks, good to know about the sale!

    To keep from feeling pressured to buy something end of month, I apply member coupons as soon as I find an agreeable sale. So I already used mine too!

    Today is a great day for Daz Original bundles, especially if you already own some of the items since that'll give additional discount. The Best of the Best lists have a few standalone items, but also a lot of single items from bundles, so people could cherrypick favorites from some bundles they wouldn't otherwise buy.

    With the buy-in item + Premier + tokens + punches + sale discounts, here's what I'm seeing with cart testing:

    83% off PA bundles from Featured Artists
    92% off Daz Original bundles from Featured Artists
    90% off PA bundles from Legacy Featured Artists
    95% off Daz Original bundles from Legacy Featured Artists
    Top 200 list items are generally in the Outlet Store price range ($1-$1.50)

    Plus any member coupons, and the 10-15% gift card offer too.

    I made a big cart of hair that I'll probably dump due to budget constraints. Prices do come back to this range occasionally, if today isn't a match There's Always Another Sale. :)

    There have been far better Daz Original sales in the past two weeks if you're Premier. Today's sale is essentially an extra 10% off featured artist DOs, just wrapped up in some sales jargon with its own banner. For context, recent DOs have hit 95%+ off with punches and 0 tokens a couple of times recently; today they're hitting 92% off with 8 tokens. The selection is bigger today, though.

    Correct, the product selection overlap between the "select" wishlist items and the Featured Artists Stores was basically zero. Almost all the products in wishlist select were at full price. I believe the biggest discount I saw was 35%, and on very few items.

    An OK sale, but I concur that it wasn't crazy.

  • They must have fixed all the prices because I'm not seeing anything close to what you guys are getting. I'm a Daz+ member with 3 Punches, but no tokens. With a "Still New" release the best I can get off on DO items is 80% off. Not anything close to what you are getting.

    You are looking at DO from Featured Artist. Those don't even get better discount with 'still new', need a 'debut new' for a bit extra.

    The other better discounts, are for the three 'TOP 200' selections at the beggining of the sale page. Those not only have better starting point without buy in, they should also scale with 'Still new' as well (do note that current still new selection is short, not eny new is 'still' new)

    I'll get a smallish gift card and take the extra percent off my small daily purchases. 

  • kprkpr Posts: 371

    As Daz+, with 3 punches but without tokens, coupons or a buy-in, the DO (recent or PA) was around 84%. Not too shabby but as others put not as fantastic as sometimes seen (but  on a large selection which is a bit more rare)... I eventually pursuaded myself not too wink

    Still, the BTD was goregous (especially at £1.99) another WL on my advent calendar and the NiceList was an instant free pickup

    Another enjoyable shopping half-hour smiley

    For Daz Originals, tokens make a big difference. If you apply 8 tokens you can multiply the final price of all Daz Originals in your cart by 0.55 (to get the remainder after the 45% discount from tokens). Token discount also cuts through floor prices whereas other types of stacking discounts usually have no further effect once they reach the floor price.

    Today, you need a Debut New item (not a Still New) to trigger an additional discount in the Featured Artist Stores.

    Best time to bank tokens is Monday and Tuesday when the rate earned is doubled. 8 tokens would normally cost you $80 since Daz+ earns 1 token for every $10 spent, but it'd be $40 on Monday or Tuesday.

    Yes, the salespeople were very smart. There were more choices today, giving me a reason to shop. I bought many things I really wanted, mostly at 92% or 96% off. Besides percentages, I also used price as a criterion; anything over $2 was eliminated, waiting for a bigger discount. 

  • Yesterday's sale actually lured me back out after making an initial small purchase. My "real" wishlist items are generally too new to be in play during sales this month so I didn't initially pay much attention to the day's offerings. But the DO prices in yesterday's sale were such that in buying one new thing and then throwing in a bunch of tokens about to expire anyway and the DO coupon, I ended up getting several G9 add-on bundles for $3-$4 as well as a few assorted items that came in under $2 that were too new to add to my wishlist for Advent consideration.

    I've been a good boy lately, just buying the minimum, other than the one day i forgot to check out, in order to keep that punchcard discount going. Today puts me back with 3 punches, although I had a really difficult time trying to find something to buy.  Ended up putting 2 Outlet Store items at 99 cents each in my cart. Today's sale seems kind of off to me. My wishlist in general is too new for any discounting to apply. 30% off not hacking it. I am hoping for at least one more super sale before the 31st, the end of my Premier membership and overall end of purchasing much here, if at all. Free items will be my friends. Now that is seems the free things have moved into G3 items, they're much more useful

    Hoo boy, this one's going to be fun. 20k items and the discount coupons are strong. I'm seeing 96% on Genesis 9 character bundles and 92% on PA bundles from the Featured stores with Premier + punches + tokens + buy in + coupon. Legacy stores can go lower. My poor wallet. (:

    Wishing you awesome haul! I was quite pleased that I picked up a random thing I wanted for $2... enough to keep my punch for one more day and extend my Outlet items longer. :)

    Thank you! I'm too tired to shop smart right now, and I don't want to buy just for the sake of discount, so I'll sleep first and see if the deals are still around later today and what stuff I actually need. :)

    That nice item was actually already free on 12/10. surprise
    Though I’m not entirely sure whether it was considered a nice item back then as well.

    And the PreT Digital Alarm from today doesn’t have a download button at the moment.

    The freebie issue has been fixed and it is now downloadable and installable with IM, but the duplicate nice list product issue has not been fixed yet (it was present a few days ago).

    The discount is quite good, but the problem is that you can only choose ten; the use of tokens needs some thought.

    Today I'm planning to use the $2.99 ​​HoliDaz Deal with the HOLI-PICK to buy some VRVirtuosos jewelry, without using tokens because I won't have enough for the next purchase. The 85% off seems like a great deal, but I'm still undecided.

    I'm seeing WL items at 89% off with the same conditions, but without using tokens (still holding them in reserve). I had a feeling they would have some good deals this weekend.
