    @daveso I understood that and wanted to add context. 50% does not excite me. YMMV. I usually go in on the better flash sales - even those are not all created equal.

    I agree .. I buy a lot here, but aside from items I can't live without, I don't usually get involved until it's past 80% with all stackables stacked. I admit that I occasionally buy stuff at that other place - in fact I think I just bought some items with that coupon last night - for specific PAs and items that are only over there.

    Maybe I should put this in a separate thread, but how do you determine when tokens expire? I have a warning in red that says they expire in  0 days 0 hours 0 minutes. The list that breaks down when they expire says 2 of them expire on Friday (it's Wednesday as I write this) and 1 expires on Saturday.

    Same here.  There will be a handfull of exceptions here and there, but by and large, if DAZ is going to continue to rely on their usual level of discounting as their default marketing strategy, I really don't see any reason to do them a favor by paying more than what I know said item will eventually be selling for in a few months... especially when the average sale depends upon buying one of a very small pool of items for which I increasingly have a.) liitle actual need and b.) often feel inferior to similar items that I already own.

    i used the DAZ+ filter on the store page when I posted. Only the new items from Friday showed up.  

    Perhaps there was a problem with the store. Otherwise, no idea.

    Is it just me, or am I the only one who feels like the occasions when there isn't some kind of problem with the store are rarer occurances than the times when there are?

    @Cybersox I think the constant, daily traffic in the error reporting thread is a sign of your correctness.

    Haven't seen it mentioned - but the flash sale also works on gift cards. No code required. 

    5% off orders $50- $99

    11% off orders $100-$149

    18% off orders $150 + up

    (I know it says "orders over" but I tested for science, and it's coded as [that much] and up)

    Not interested for myself but thought it might help someone else.

    Note that there also is a 15% reduction on GC with three items in the Rell-sale.

    Good addition! I forgot about that since there weren't any new releases that day I was interested in.

    I managed to find out about both of these things at 2 minutes to Daz midnight.

    Daz idea of a V-day sale: uncomfortable underwear

    My idea of a V-day sale: chocolate

     

    Clearly I am not the target market LOL.

    Are you my sister or cousin or something? Although I also like rosebushes & potted flowering plants with my candy.

    I predicted Daz was going to release a vampire dominatrix, and we get a pale girl described as "gothic" & "lingerie model" with an assortment of uncomfortable kink-wear. Is that close enough that I can brag "I totally called it!"? Also, you're right about the expression difficulty I think. The ones in the expression pack look, well, off, awkward or something.

    I prefer chcolate as well.

    That uncomfortable underwear doesn't fit well!

    Now DAZ wants me to spend over $200 before I get a discount?!

    Pardon me while I order more chocolate!

    I like plants in theory, but I did NOT inherit my grandmother's green thumb, and I feel guilty when they die. So I like to enjoy other people's plants LOL. You can have mine.

    I do really think if they're going to have a Valentine's Day sale, they could make it... I dunno, more Valentine-y? Couple days left, they might yet.  I've never been into the whole fol-de-rol, but I'm all about a good food set. Maybe some heart-shaped pancakes like my mom used to make my brother and me when we were kids? I think those would be way more useful than chafe-y underpants.

    FWIW, I'll totally give it to you.

    Yeah... though in fairness, they're JW expressions... and IMHO the majority of those sets look unnatural. I'd be interested to see what could be done with someone who doesn't need to take the limits off (and then some)... but the ones in the main asset promo weren't encouraging, either.

    We’ll probably get a chocolate prop pack from Polish or someone on the 14th, matching their latest quality levels.

    G8 Catgirl Megapack is $12.38. Couldn't pass that up. It's usually around $30.

    Close enough for me. 

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,957

    in regards to today ...as far as sales no
    as far as prodict release - no

    10% off on a $200 purchase plus a coupon - nonono I've NEVER spent $200 at one time here.  I get stomach butterflies even at $50. I just scanned my last 500 orders. There was one for $55 and one for $52. The rest were a lot under 50. Mostly in teens. 

    And a question. Are we back to no nudity again on characters?

    LOL. That is too funny. I figure if I buy a new 3D outfit I want my moneys worth of fabrics/material. Most new outfits could be sewn together and wouldn't make a decent scarf. So outfits are usually a no-go for me. Bought the pilot whale and the Vic Theater to spend two bucks to hit an extra token because I got tired of wading through the skimpware. Lakehaven was full price but managed to get it as if it was a new release sale because of the recent wishlist sale. Had a ton of tokens I let go in January suspect these new tokens will bite the dust too. Got some RAWART I need to grab so I'd rather pay full price and use tokens on those than get 99% off skimpware I will never use, but already own because of bundled buys. At the rate DAZ is marketing those outfits, I am thinking skimpware must be a huge big seller.

    Edit to fix error in quote % off? Meant to type three dots (ellipsis) what I need to buy is a new keyboard.

    @Adela More chocolate candy models would be lovely. I have 2 sets but they are very old.

  • In case anyone is curious, the Premier free bundle selection currently offers: Leona, Eduardo, Wendy, Lauryn, Sylvia, Sophia, Wang, Karmen, Julia, Angela, & Josie.

    Not picking up a Premier membership this week or next.

    Hmm okay so it looks like it did stack, for roughly 30% off a gift card. However, the cheapest buy-ins with 8 tokens from the Rell sale are around $18.50. Effective gift card discount (before tax) becomes:

    • $200 gift card at 30% off + buy ins discounted with tokens = about ~21% off the gift card
    • $300 gift card per same formula = ~24% off gift card
    • $400 gift card per same formula = ~25% off gift card
    • $500 gift card per same formula = ~26% off gift card

    So the more someone paid, the better the discount (plus the buy-ins as icing on the cake).

     

    All that, because there's a similar deal today with the Lots of Love sale. Same $18.50 of buy-ins from the Rell sale, and an additional 10% off large carts that stacks with the Rell sale gift card discount. The math works out to:

    • $300 gift card at 24% off + buy ins discounted with tokens = about ~18% off the gift card
    • $400 gift card per same formula = ~19% off gift card
    • $500 gift card per same formula = ~20% off gift card

    That should be a countdown that updates in real time. It sounds like the javascript to show it ticking down is broken in your web browser. It goes by the tokens expiring soonest in the list you see in the breakdown. I haven't found a great way to check tokens besides adding a random item to the cart to view the breakdown.

    ...I consider it "shrinkflation". Less coverage for about the same cost.

    Some of what I've seen lately would barely make a washcloth.

    Well, President's Day is next Monday maybe they'll do something (like a sale) for it.

    I'm cash-strapped till March.

    Beyond the usual monthly bills, I'm looking at other expenses to support my burgeoning acrylic painting spree.

    I'll need painting canvases, more acrylic paints, brushes, etc.

    I'm also looking at graphics tablets and Clip, Studio Paint, etc.

    Oh and I've started a whole new wardrobe since I've lost weight.

    My many lady friends love my artwork and my new wardrobe.

    It just so happens I'm often the only man in a crowd at our lunch table, etc.

    I have that set with the heart waffles! Even used them once, probably two years ago. :)  The rest of the set gets borrowed for occasional parts.

    Congrats on your plant. :)
