There's Always Another Sale Thread -- Discussions Only Pt 6

I've picked up a few items - mainly GT items. There are great deals to be had on artist store items - but I already bought everything in the Daz store.  (OK, not ... everything, but you know what I mean.) I'm in need of a sale that includes wishlist items that are still "New" which, as I recall, hasn't really been a thing with the PA sale in the past either.

so the new releases today don't all discount to $7.99 each with todays golden ticket or am I reading it wrong as you also have to include a still gold golden ticket item as well to get the discount but what if you already owned/bought all the golden tickets does that mean no $7.99 discount with todays golden ticket

I doubt anyone buys every golden ticket in one of these sales. (I'm close. There were only 2 items in my catch-up page.)

...raises hand,  I only I have those that are sets or props (though I did pick up RawArt's Nyxii - Robot Girl as she works fine "out of the box").

I'm in sort of the same situation as far as the store goes.  I have a huge library of purchased content from DAZ, and I'm not a huge fan of stuff that's G9 only, so a lot of the new releases don't do much for me, while the way DAZ has restricted the  Featured Artist sales to older products has me looking at a lot of empty or nearly empty stores. or ones filled with texture sets and expression packs.  However, all of the GT's have been good enough bargains that I know I'll probably find a use for them eventually, and with the way the orange banner offers, tokens, and other promos keep breaking down, there's been enough of stuff in the FA sale that works out to be in the $2 to $3.50 price range, and I do try to support the artists who are still supporting G8 in new releases.  So, I keep going back to all the Renderosity items that moved over and doing cross checks with Taozaen's DAZ/Renderosity duplicate utility and keep managing to find a few things that I didn't purchase when they were over there... today's cart has a couple of G8 outfits by DZheng and Sveva, for example. But yes, the end result is that this sale is definitely not in the same league as past FA sales have been for me personally.

I'm signed on for G9, but I mainly need hair and attire for male characters, for stories set in historic/retro settings, so pickings are slim for me.

Another week has rolled on by!

Here's your reminder to:

•  grab your QG's before midnight UTC (roughly 7 PM eastern daylight in the US)
• don't freak out if changeover doesn't happen right at UTC midnight, as it seems like things often change at around 15-past
• don't freak out if the prices seem high; usually they're right in cart initially, and the store catches up with it at normal Daz changeover

Good luck!
