    t's all good stuff but ironically the additional banner sale made me realise I couldn't afford to buy anything right now

    I mean, I could but there are things not 3D I need much more

    not a case of lack of funds but priorities 

    so in in spite of the awesome deals, I am emptying my cart

    because there is always another sale yes

    the Voxeliser bundle going on my wishlist for now in spite of the arguably good price

  • Is there any stacking to get more than 84% off (without tokens or Daz+/Premier coupons)? Don't get me wrong, it seems like a pretty good deal, but not a great deal like we often see here.

    I'm not sure I would use the GC the way the store is going. The sales not good with the buy-ins. Yeah, you can get savings, but the products needed to get them isn;t inexpensive, and it appears the only ones qualifying today is the Stonemason and the voxelize products. Dont need either. The highway one the only product i would use is $15.xx so to get  40% off hardly pays for that either. Less expensive just buying 5 QG items with thier current markdown.

    I stocked up on store credit with a $500 gift card. I figured 28% off GCs is the best we will get these days. And if I don't use it this month there are big sales coming up starting with the PA sale in September.

    Stonemason & RiverSoft Art Annual Sale Get an extra 20% off your cart with any of these “Voxelizing” New Releases

    This 20% discount, combined with eight tokens, allows you to get 89% off during today's banner sale.

    AND

    “Voxelizing” Artist Stores with 5 or more ,You can get 88% off.

    “Astral” Artist Stores with 5+  up to 10 with a “Astral” New Release, You can get 88% off.

    88% off is considered the highest discount on weekdays; discounts exceeding 90% are almost only seen during major sales seasons, but there have been discounts almost every month for the past few months.

    Note: The discount is 83% or 84% off if no token is used.

    What is the point of this?

    60% off "Contrast" Artist Stores

    Extra 50% off* up to 10 with a "Brutal" New Release
    Additional 30% off* up to 10 with a "Softer" New Release
    Additional 40% off* up to 20 with 2 "Softer" New Releases
    Additional 60% off* up to 30 with 3 or more "Softer" New Releases

    When there's also this?

    Minimum price after discount $4.99.

    The list price has to be above $62.5 (60%+50%+60%) for the price after discount to be above $4.99

    And you still need to buy 4 other items at 30% (+30%) off just to get that far.

    Cart dumped.

     

    Edit: There are 1,374 items in the contrast artists page. Only 3 of them cost more than $4.99 if you "go for broke" here.

    One could go for just two or one "Softer" release to save on the "buy in". 

    But 4.99 (before tokens) as minimum price rarely yields a good deal. Items I want for that price are usually already bought. 

  • joannajoanna Posts: 2,707

    Well, seeing as we're heading into the weekend, and there have been no changes nor updates about Quick Grab nor Outlet Store, I'm guessing we might as well give up hope until Tuesday at the earliest...
    In other news, this might be the "least spent on Daz" month for me. So far, I spent $0.99 (plus tax) this month, and only because I decided to grab some poses to complete a bundle. Of course, the month just started, but usually by this time, I have at least some QG purchases... oh, wait. Right. :D

    It boggles the mind that this OS/QG malfunction is still going on.

    Yes. maybe it will come back for Monday. I cannot even imagine what would be that difficult to straighten out when it was working relativiely fine for quite awhile.  If they don;t want it to be there, they should just tell us. It does cut into PA earnings for sure.

    >It does cut into PA earnings

    I rarely wait for PA items that I really want to show up in OS/CG. 

    On the other hand, IF something shows up there I may buy them despite not wanting them for a higher price. 

    As far as my behaviour is concerned, this brings PA earnings they would not have otherwise.

  • Maybe they should try feeding the code through an AI...

  • I think QG has renewed. Better late than never.

    Yep, pretty much me too. I hesitated but in the end, I couldn't leave that one alone. 

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 42,364

    ...well that was a nice surprise.  There were several items on my wishlist in the Working together" banner sale.  Saw no Stonemason products until I turned off "Hide Owned".  Also picked up an item by Faveral to complete a bundle (had I waited, I could have picked up the entire bundle for 4.99 USD, but so it goes).

    Even got a token¹ ....woo hoo!

    ¹ at basic level.

  • Looks like 3D Universe pulled their stuff from the store. A shame, I really liked their hairs.

    Today was the best sale of August! PA's selected items had huge discounts and no quantity limits, plus tons of items I desperately needed. Several artists' products looked amazing but I'd almost never bought them before, so I added them all to my cart today. This was my last shopping trip of the year, maybe even next year.

    My membership expired yesterday, and I also had a $10 discount coupon I hadn't used, but it was also unusable today. I moved my custom assets to another hard drive to free up space for new stuff. I was considering buying items that would trigger an extra 20% off the entire order, and maybe some gift cards, but the financial pressure and my hard drive were both too full, so I gave up.

    For today's new arrivals, I hesitated between magic items and high heels, finally choosing the high heels because I bought so many discounted items from this artist today, hoping to offset some of their profits.

    Finally, I wish those dedicated artists continued success with their products.

    Coud someone explain to me...

    - why the 2 new DAZ+ items in my cart discount differently? (Orc Totems at 93%, Marlowe Outfit at 88% - seems it gets the $2,99 and not lower treatment

    - what this Token sale is all about? Says something about 5 items. And about a number of tokens to spend. Well, have 10 items in cart. All get discounted 80% with max tokens applied. Not at all impressive. And that is supposed to promote tokens?

     Storewide promotion today, Minimum price after discount: $2.99.
    Discount does not stack with original Token discounts.

    This rule applies to all products, except that some products with lower original prices may be sold for less than 2.99 when bundled with other sales promotions.

    The price of a shopping cart from the promotion two days ago will increase today.

    price creep. the new release items are constantly going up in price, the sale values seem to be going down. Even  DAZ+ pricing is now hitting $5 for pretty much everything upon release, and for sure higher than that after initial period. I gues I have a choice though, buy or not.

    Seems so. Yet, the bulk of my purchase is from OS/QG with occasional flash sale splurges.

    So tokens won't drop something under $2.99? I was going to spend $20 to pick up 8 tokens to further drop the price of items in a cart I was looking at getting, but not if they won't drop the price under $2.99. I'll just skip getting stuff from the outlet and also not get the cart I was planning out.

    Outlet stuff wouldn't be affected by tokens with or without a minimum.

    If we only consider today's "80% off* up to 5 with any "Bonus" New Release"...

    Prices originally below $13.99 will be discounted to $1.40; prices originally above $14.95 will start at $2.99 .

    There will be a price range in between that will be locked at $2.99 ​​after the discount. So, you'll either have to buy the lowest-priced items or the items in the higher price range.

    The same principle, This can be combined with the promotions from the previous days, resulting in an even lower price.

    The image is of a product from https://www.daz3d.com/top-50-best.

    You can see that a certain price range is locked at 2.99.

    However, prices outside this range are lower than in the previous few days.

    Hmm, no new Blink sale. I was hoping they would keep up all day and include some of the new items on my wishlist.

    It seems like it was a 24h thing since it started midday yesterday.
