    I was thinking about how people are complaining that Mec4Ds shaders, which are absolutely first class products, are only 70% off and not included in the 80% sales and thinking it was kind of insane.

    Then I realised that all of us were sort of waffling over whether to go for a bunch of 80% products and wondered when I'd started evaluating things so differently here o.o

    Also that I still have a full cart I'd actually forgotten about.

    I suspect there would be less complaining about the discount on Mec4D's shaders if the Toon and Genesis flash-grabs didn't have a 12 product minimum to get the 80% discount. It wasn't all that long ago DAZ had  a promo where if you bought one of the new releases in that promo, select G3M, G2M and G1M were discounted 60%, 70% and 80% respectively. Not to mention other sales, without a minimum quantity required, that put Genesis products at 70% or even 80%. Some of the sales even had a 3 item limit! As they say, (quite frequently around here,) there's always another sale.

    I removed all the Genesis stuff from my cart last night. And the only reason I'm still waffling on the Toons in my cart is I really do want the Little Ones bundle... But fifty bucks? Now? Oy vey...

    lol. So I noticed.

    I bought the Toon Generations Mega-Bundle a few months back, so I'm grabbing products that work with that, or kinda look like they do. And I've got five items that are only 60¢ each: Alien-Bot, The Cat, Wolf Boy, Frog Boy, and Turtle Boy. That really helps. I could drop two of them, as I now have 14 items in the cart, but $1.20 isn't enough to quibble over! So they all stay. I expect I'll checkout later today. Still waffling, but leaning strongly toward buying.

    I really like the look of the Toon Generations Mega Bundle but it isn't in the sale :( and I've spoiled too many bundles by being some of the parts on sales sooo going to have to wait on the toons I guess. Ugh it's such a pain that toon stuff is so all over the place when it comes to which figures it works with and things. I love Cookie and Chip but it's kind of a pain for me to use completely separate figures, and then Star is finally getting a G3 version which is great but makes it not appealing to buy her older stuff right now... etc etc much rant.

    Personally there are enough morph packs and overall things for Genesis I was missing to make up the 12 items and still be great value, so I'm happy enough with that, but I can definitely understand people's frustrations with it. 12 with such a small selection is going to shut out a lot of longer term users.

    The answer is simple , I wanted it to be 70% off and no less what is very generous offer for the quality .

    Yes, that's why I said first class products and thinking it was kind of insane (to be able to get them for so cheap.)

    I rarely buy anything with a final price over $7, but I went for part 3 of this at 10 something because part 2 was awesome.

    I bought 1 and 2 on release day because they were so amazing, but haven't bought 3 because I already have more metal shaders than I know what to do with from the first two. I still have no idea if I'm missing out on anything?

    I already have all three, but if I didn't, at 70% off...? I'd have found a way to buy what I didn't have. 70% off is almost unheard of for a PA Flash Sale, and very generous.

    I use shaders from at least one of the three with every scene I do, and usually from two of the three. I've even had a render or two that used something from all three of the Vols. I love these shaders. And as you've probably already read, I can hardly wait for Vol 4. (Or 5, 6, etc.)

    Glad you like it, divamakeup. ^_^

    Also wanted to note that M5 Pro & Starter as well as V5 Pro & Starter bundles have been added to the Genesis Flash-grab sale.

    Thank you! :D

    I've added and removed things from the Toon and G1 sales from my cart like four times now. lol Load cart - scratch head, think about it, unload cart - rinse and repeat. lol I finally decided if I'm having this much trouble deciding that I'm probably better off just not getting anything and saving some money for either the Star for G3F release or for the PA and PC+ sales (whichever comes first lol). 

    There are only two things (one from each sale) that I really REALLY want anyway and it's hard to justify buying like 11 other things (or 22 other things if I want both) just to get them. bah - silly sale is silly.

    I did that a lot also; but finally put in my order. Basically I just wanted the Little Ones Mega Bundle and the Kids Playtime Bundle to go with it. I finally  picked out 10 of the PC+ toon items that would only cost $0.60 each and still wound up with the bundles at a great price (about $36 for the whole order)

    I was going to do that too. I only REALLY wanted one of the Little Ones for G3F (particularly after this thread and seeing how absolutely adorable the Little Ones dialed into G3F look!). So I added one of the Little Ones for G3F to my cart and added 11 of the .60 cent items to round it out. But then though, well maybe I should get the Mec4d Vol. 2 shaders instead, as I hear those are awesome. I can't afford both. So I kept going back and forth over that. Then there are also the V3 and A3 clones for Genesis I want to get so that I can autofit some older V3 A3 clothes to the newer generations and the G4 F4 morphs for Genesis I want to get as well. I knew I couldn't afford all that so trying to decide between them was driving me batty. I finally ended thinking, 'well I'll just ask my hubby if I can spend some monies and see what he says'.

    He was really quiet when I asked him and kind of grumbled "it's up to you" (which in husband-speak means "go ahead ...if you don't mind dealing with a completely grouchy and irritable husband over the next few days"). After that it was an easy choice to just dump the whole cart and walk away repeating "there is always another sale" "...there's always another sale". lol

    The 'own' part of today's 'buy or own' the super suit sale doesn't appear to be working yet. Hopefully that gets fixed soon.

    Be aware that the cat bundle contents are also included in the Millennium Cat Bundle, but if you own that bundle, this product doesn't show as already purchased. I almost bought them again!

    And note that - like several other bundles - the Millennium Cat Bundle is not listed in your library if you own it.

    I dont need the uv but superhero suits are calling me buaaaaa, 80% looks cool X(

  • XornflXornfl Posts: 102

    U think this sales could be even lower in the future? like the flash sales of 60% or super hero stuff? I believe are good creations an i like them, but well, spended almost 200 dlls without knowing of stacks in my first month and well, i want to get the most from the remanent coint i have left, ty in advance o/

    For many things 60% is about as good as it gets.  That was generally the cap on things in the PA sales last year.  Sales above that do happen, but they are pretty rare, and spotty on what they cover.

    I know because I just looked it up as a reminder to decide if I should take advantage of the 60% off Powerage sale happening today.  I should!

    Just a quick heads up, Divamakeup... Chantelle is Encrypted DAZ Connect!

    Ah thank you. :D I wasn't plan on buying any of it (too broke lol), just seeing how much the sale lowered the prices. :) But I don't really have an issue with Encrypted content. I understand that a lot of people do though, so the heads up is always appreciated just incase someone else might be considering that purchase. 

    I don't have an issue with encrypted content, but it's not just encrypted, but DRMed too. no

    There are some pretty decent deals to be had with today's "Dark Dungeon and Alien Relics" sale due to there being some PC+ items in there. :)

    Even without the PC+ items though, the 60% off is pretty sweet! Plus the free cross-over item! NICE! :)

    With the release of Tween Ryan, (what a cutie!) there are some stacking discounts. With one new release from both the Boys of Summer (Tween Ryan) and the Hair Blending and Light Bending promo from two days ago, (Aug 21,) You can get 51% off the back catalogs of Shox-Design and Tentman. (65% for PC members if the item is also a Daz Original.) Buy one new release each from Dark Dungeons and Alien Relics, as well as one new release from the Boys of Summer and get 57% off Nathy. (70% for PC members if the item is also a Daz Original.) Not to mention an extra 10% off the new releases from the Dark Dungeons and Alien Relics sale. (One new release from one or the other of that promo will still net 10% off Nathy's catalog, for total discounts of 51% and 66%, with a new release from the Boys of Summer.)

    Here's a screenshot, with crib notes, wink

    Speaking of stacking - and I'm not sure why this is happening - but in the Strike a Pose sale, in the 50% off section, both Val3dart and Zeddicuss have extra discounts on their stuff:

    Good catch! Val3dart and Zeddicuss are both featured artists in the Tween Ryan sale.
