    Wait, wait...rune 7 is on sale???????????? 

    L'Adair said:

    I had almost $250 in my cart... 40+ items, I think. Have it "whittled down" to only 31 items and $155, (75% average discount.) Still more than I can spend, but I'll worry about what more to remove after I've had some sleep. Rune 7 for $12.58 stays, though. As does SimTenero's Shape Reprojector for $13.98... AM's Wolf 2.0... Peach Fuzz... I'm in so much trouble.

    Yes. yes

    Featured Artist Catalogs: 1 for 40% OFF, 2 or more for 50% OFF* or get 60% OFF* when you buy any Premier Artist Festival New Release... Daz Originals is one of the Featured Artists, so all (not new) DOs are on sale.

    ETA: I finally got it down to 25 items ... $126 and change.

    Glad I could help. smiley

    Jep, noticed that - though for the moment, other things had priority... got A7, a few brushes and some more stuff - plus S7 to see how the facial articulation (or what it was called) is working out... I hope it'll reduce the need for expression-packs.

    Yep, I know that... most of the time I so far spent on DAZ' page, has gone for the "whittling down". - Just now had to bring it from 929 to 110... surprisesurprisesurprise     (was somewhat of a fight, obviously...)
    For whoever cares - the shop doesn't break down with 191 items in the cart, though it gets painfully slow frown ...

     

    Uhm, there's another ketchup-sale ( sorrywink ) going to be at the end of the month, I'd guess??  Dunno if I'll have money left for that, though I already know what I'd like to get if I should...blushangel

     

    ...and what was it I read somewhere about october being a "platinum-sale"-month??  If that should mean they'd be cheaper then, that wouldn't be bad - am still missing a lot there, too...

     

    As for (newer) bundles, I'm only planning R7/K7 and eventually D5 at the moment - though there's still alot of stuff taking precedence over those.  (Hmm wait, the Dragon3-bundle would make a lot of sense, too...angel)

    October is PC+ Sale. 

    I'm REALLY glad I've only bought two things during this month's sales. I'm hoping that will mean that hubby will let me spend more during the PC+ sale. lol

    Only a week and half to go - I can't wait! :D

    Last year it started "late", in the middle of October.

    I haven't seen Jack around much lately, I hope they are doing all their preparations in the background. :)))

    I don't have Teen Josie, Aiko 7 or Michael 7... but $11 for the base seems like a waste of time and money, and the pro bundles are not discounted at all (other than the 30% PC+ discount).

    ​I decided instead of complaining about how bad this sale is... I'm going to use it to remind me that the deals I received significant other character models from V4 to V7 and much in between were absolutely awesome.

    ​At this point I have V3, V4.2, V5 and V5 Supermodel, V6 and V7, M3, M4, M5, M5 Heroic, M6, A3 and A6, G4, H4, F4, YT5, K4, MG3,YT3... and a ton of other characters and content... for the price of a couple of the pro bundles.

    ​If at any point I thought that was a scam... that they just price high and sell low... this should convince me that no... people are actually paying thousands of dollars for content I picked up for pennies on the dollar. There is an A3 character in today's fast grab for the same price I paid for the M4 and V4 pro bundles.

    ​This sale makes me very happy with the wise purchases I have made in the past.  As for this sale itself... "There's always another sale..."

    ​:)

    If you're into manga style renders and happened to pick up Star 2.0 when she came out, Aiko 7 apparently mixes *really* well with her. The thread on Star 2.0 shows some fantastic and versatile renders. In that context, picking up Aiko 7 for $11 might be a great option. 

    Link to the thread, please? smiley

    Just got A7, but no Star yet - would like too see if it might make sense...

    Just to be perfectly clear, the "platinum-sale" refers to the PC+ Anniversary sale. The emphasis will be on Daz products, especially the PC+ items. If you're not already a member, there will undoubtedly be discounts on membership. And if you're not a member, I can I can personally recommend Platinum Club.
     

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    well, dang. Todays' "90% off if you buy a new or still new release"....I own every single product there. :sigh: No 90% off for me.

    I second that. When they say it "pays for itself" it really does. Not only are the PC+ items SUPER cheap (like 80%-90% off a TON of items) but you get like five additional freebies every month (a monthly PC+ freebie and an additional freebie every week). And then on top of that you also get the option to purchase a .99 cent item every week (with the purchase of a PC+ new item). The freebies alone are worth way more than the cost of the PC+ membership (particularly if you can get it on sale).

    This is what I am hoping for. ;)

    ROTFL - This is what you get if you look early. 1 (in letters: ONE) Mega Fastgrab item.

    And hrmf - I do have Stephanie and Josie6 anyway ...

    Sam here. This is what you get when DAZ offers very popular items that have been out for a while as freebie incentives. No incentive for the many who already own them.

    Who's designing these sales, anyway?

  • NathNath Posts: 2,940

    I'm not seeing the reduced prices on today's items yet (except for three out of four PC items).

    *kicks site to shake it loose*

    I'll have a look again later...

    Put them into your cart and you'll see the reduced prices.

    Ah, that worked this time? :-)

    In the end I waited.

    Just so I could play the game of loading the cart in various configurations, deciding most of it could go on the wishlist, filling the cart again ad nauseam ad infinitum. I may even check out with my current cart if I still like it in a few hours.

  • Free Stephanie and Josie with a single purchase, and that purchase is 50% off if you buy two new items instead of one?

    ​They got another $20 out of me when I was sure I was done until the end of the month. At a net of ~$5 per piece of content, I couldn't really say no.

    ​The thing is, I was going to just buy one debut release, and then I realized with the 50% off price, if I bought two it would be the same price as buying one. The DAZ sales can be tricky that way, and you can shaft yourself out of a good deal by not realizing it is basically free to throw another item in the cart.

    ​It isn't like at Macy's where the friendly cashier will point out to you that this is the case.

    ​I wonder how many people haven't realized that it isn't one or the other, but BOTH figures that are free with a debut purchase, too.

  • Oso3DOso3D Posts: 15,084

    Uh, no? It's 40% off if you get one, it's 50% off if you get two. So that's only true if the second item is 1/5 the price of the first item. ($10 item, $6 at 40% off, $5 at 50% off, second item could be no more than $1 at 50% off, or a base price of $2)

     

    But, yeah, I was sure I was done. But getting Stephanie 6 and Josie 6 + one of the i13 sets all for $14 or so? That's ... awesomesauce.

    (Normally with figures I go 'do I want to get a non-pro version?', but I am never, ever going to get S6 or Josie6 pro bundles unless they are free or pennies, so...)

    I can always say no, seeing as there is always another sale just around the corner; besides, waiting for a good sale to buy something is both fun and cheap (well free).

  • Will...

    ​See attached. 50% off on two items... they were normally about $18 and change each. They were just over $18 for BOTH of them in the basket... and Steph and Josie were free...

    So, $20 spread out over 4 pieces of content is about $5 per piece of content.

  • But I agree with you completely on "never buying the pro versions unless they're giving them away, so for "free" for the non-pro versions... might as well. I think this has actually been one of the BEST values of this sale so far.

  • lx_2807502lx_2807502 Posts: 2,996

    I was tempted too, but I don't really care about Josie 6 (I have 7 which I think is much improved.) I do however want the Josie 6 bundle, and I know if I buy some thing I don't really care about to get 2 free characters today, I'll never buy the pro bundles when they're finally on super sale. Or if I do, I'll have bought something today for no real reason since there isn't anything I particularly need.

    Don't forget the new weekly freebie (Free with any purchase): http://www.daz3d.com/old-industrial-interior Then  it would be $20 for 5 items rather than 4.

    What do you have on your wishlist? This sounds so unbelievable... :)

    I was just browsing through the forums trying to figure out why I don't get the weekly freebie notifications in a timely or consistent manner. I'm signed up for the newsletter that uh, I think ATI maintains... I feel like I've subscribed to the Fourm posts that notify about this... I always seem to miss the e-mail newsletter notifications...

    ​But thanks for the heads-up... $20 for 5 items achieved! :) And I'm more interested in scenery, architecture and props like vehicles and furniture than anything else at this point - so old industrial interior is a great bonus for me! :)

  • Well, it depends on who is on your wishlist and how regularly you check it. I thought that what I was most excited about hadn't come up and, by chance, I dug around for a bit to remind myself of the artist's name and--low and behold--said artist was on sale that day along with the items that I had intended on getting. Of course...I ended up getting new stuff and passing on these older items because it wasn't clear if some of them would work as well in iRAY as they were designed for 3Delite. 

    I suspect DAZ is quite happy with the sales they are seeing despite all of these folks claiming they are saving tons of money. We haven't really had too many deals that weren't part of the regular sale so far and it's been several weeks now.

    Hmm? I don't have a notification specifically for freebies. I have new sales alerts, fastgrab alerts, and wishlist alerts. A couple more in the works, data is being gathered for those, should be interesting, stay tuned. :)

    No freebie alerts though.

    Do you need one? :)

    Everything that was older than 60 days was on sale a couple of days ago, so unless your wishlist only has new items, you likely missed the time they were on sale.

    Two days ago, 9/19, DAZ had a catch up sale. The only items not on sale are items released less than 60 days ago, but before the PA Festival began, (8/29.) There was a catch up sale on 9/8, too... You must have a really small wishlist, with only newish items on it. I think I envy you! My wishlist is sitting at 366, (and destined to grow over the next several months as I pay for a new computer instead of more content.)

    On the other hand, if you merely missed the catch up sale, don't despair. wink There should be another one before the PA Festival comes to an end.

    ETA: Missed Havos reply... sorry to be redundant...
