    Oh boy, the longer I wait, the more the same items will cost. :) I was waiting for them to go down again, but instead, they just got more expensive. :D

    Green Hills Skydome increased to $4.47; I went ahead and bought it. Still a great bargain for what appears to be an excellent product. :)

  • This is one of those times I'm glad I got my order in early. The purchase I made this morning for $24 now would have cost me $39. A difference of $15

    Mine jumped an entire $10. Was debating whether to get these and thought I'd wait. Hmmm...maybe I'll wait some more! My orange banner is still there.

    LOL I already placed two orders today. I think the bartender needs to cut me off!

    Aack, everything in my cart just jumped up by $2 or more each! What just happened???

    Someone at DAZ rolled out of bed, yawned, rubbed their eyes, wandered sleepily over to their computer, looked at the pricing algorithms and said "Holy ****!", then hastily fixed a loophole that wasn't supposed to be there.

    EDIT: Although that's possibly what happened, I notice that an orange top-of-page banner that was showing up earlier and which offered discounts on certain products, inc. today's new releases, has disappeared. If you were seeing that banner, hadn't yet taken advantage of it, and aren't seeing it any more, then that may mean that that particular promotion has been disabled. That could account for the price change you're seeing. If so, you might want to wait and see if it comes back.

    I still have the orange banner but Flipmode's item went up a by about $1.50. And also Stonemason's stuff that I had in my cart from yesterday. They were originally the same this morning, (Pacific time- one hour behind Daz) then at 10:30 AM Daz time jumped up once, then ten minutes later jumped up a bit more. I think your first assessment was correct LOL.

    Just cleared me cart, everything has jumped in price twice today. Clearly I don't need the items that much.

  • lx_2807502lx_2807502 Posts: 2,996

    So if day 1 was 33% off that day's new releases and artist catalogues and a freebie or 2 with new release, and day 2 was 2 freebies +1 and 36% off...

    This week could get interesting with the barrage of banners climbing atop each other on every page.

    And that's before all the stacking stuff everyone else has been posting about which honestly I haven't really been looking at.

    (Also if things are back to normal I would expect Darius on Tuesday which would fit into some crazy offers for him if things stand, so maybe they'll delay him.)

    I was thinking about making another purchase; but I think the bartender already did cut us off.

    Yeah, it's one thing for the prices to change at Daz midnight, but when they change twice in daytime hours without notice, it gets really annoying. A lot of people will be dumping their carts, so they are not really making more money by increasing the prices, it just pisses people off...

  • I had $70+ of items in cart, added another item, and everything in the cart jumped up in price. It became just over $105.  I come back an hour later and it's over $120.    Sorry, I'm not going to play these games. I'll dump everything and wait.

    Annoying in the very least.  Just cleared 98% of my cart. I went to bed this morning and cart was at $37, now it's at $79. If you buy right away sometimes prices aren't stable. Fast grab is good and gone today now too. I may get 2 items that were in my cart, all the rest hast to be put back.

    Aack, everything in my cart just jumped up by $2 or more each! What just happened???

    Someone at DAZ rolled out of bed, yawned, rubbed their eyes, wandered sleepily over to their computer, looked at the pricing algorithms and said "Holy ****!", then hastily fixed a loophole that wasn't supposed to be there.

    EDIT: Although that's possibly what happened, I notice that an orange top-of-page banner that was showing up earlier and which offered discounts on certain products, inc. today's new releases, has disappeared.

    I still have the orange banner but Flipmode's item went up a by about $1.50. And also Stonemason's stuff that I had in my cart from yesterday.

    Orange banner just disappeared, I wonder if it will be back, it was still there yesterday at this time....

    The banner is still up for me. I too had a few items that jumped up in price:( I considered checking out earlier, but decided to wait in hopes of talking myself out of stuff. DAZ did that for me, lol. Still on the fence for one or two items. Really good prices, but...do I really need them?

    The orange banner doesn't always stay up all the time; but the offer is usually still valid. Check your store messages > exclusive offers; it should still be there

    It is probably still working, but likely not as before. I think the earlier pricing glitch meant the holiday and banner discount were stacking, when in fact the banner discount is supposed to replace the holiday one.

    That said, I still don`t know if it was an error or a mad man`s marketing strategy ;)

    Yeh, sometimes I wonder if at least some of the store 'glitches' aren't a stratagy to get us to keep looking and to grab things quick whether we need them or not.

    I think they certainly don't worry about them (and have CS support them) because of that benefit. I have started feeling guilty though, ever since the discussion in that other prices thread about how little PAs make. 

    Yea, if it was DAZ who had to cover all the losses the glitches impose on the PAs they'd probably be a bit more eager to fix them. I wouldn't accept it if I was a PA here. Personally I don't like to take advantage of it, so I usually wait until the end of the day with checking out, assuming the prices have been fixed then. Hell, the discounts are usually still incredible anyway.

    yes, I agree, I also wait until the end of the day to see the real price

    So I am guessing. On today's new releases you should be getting a discount of around 55% (assume your banner says the same as mine, ie 36%). Earlier the discount was around 70%, depending on your holiday bonus, but that was a glitch (or so I assume)

    right, I should have done the math to find the truth :) thanks!

  • Any 2 items below FREE or any 3 items below FREE

    Why would they say that? The only conditions either way are to buy a new item (simultaneously in cart) and you can only do it once.

    Who'd go for two?

  • mtl1mtl1 Posts: 1,508

    I'd go for two, no new releases for me to get today :)

    You get 2 for free without buying any new items. You get 3 with buying a new item.

    Yup.   I got one yesterday without buying anything and I got another 2 today without buying anything.

    Yeah, it's one thing for the prices to change at Daz midnight, but when they change twice in daytime hours without notice, it gets really annoying. A lot of people will be dumping their carts, so they are not really making more money by increasing the prices, it just pisses people off...

    It's pretty annoying for both sides the way the site software seems incapable of keeping up with the various sales promotions. PAs like Flipmode get underpaid because the discounts that should be either/or stack and customers get hot under the collar because discounts which should be stacking aren't.

    I'm pretty sure DAZ isn't happy with the first scenario, and maybe the amount of money they lost explains why they've fixed it fast, but the discounts on the 2016 Top Sellers still don't stack with the Featured Artist discounts.

    I did the math, and posted it in another thread on the 2016 Discounts not working, but here ya go:

    • 25% LRD, without a new release: 77.5%
      • 100 - 40% = 60; 60 - 50% = 30; 30 - 25% = 22.5; 100 - 22.5 = 77.5
    • 25% LRD, with a new release: 85%
      • 100 - 50% = 50; 50 - 60% = 20; 20 - 25% = 15; 100 - 15 = 85
    • 30% LRD, without a new release: 79%
      • 100 - 40% = 60; 60 - 50% = 30; 30 - 30% = 21; 100 - 21 = 79
    • 30% LRD, with a new release: 86%
      • 100 - 50% = 50; 50 - 60% = 20; 20 - 30% = 14; 100 - 14 = 86

    The formula is (((100 - FA%) - TS%) - LRD%) = %age of retail owed.

    FA is Featured Artist, TS is Top Sellers 2016, and LRD is our Loyalty Rewards Discount.

    When it comes to these huge stacking discounts, I find I'm usually buying items I would never purchase otherwise; things I can't justify even at 60% or 70% off. I take a chance on vendors I've not purchased from before. And occasionally I grab something I really do want at a great price. On the flip side, having gotten a great deal on their older products, I'm far more likely to purchase their new releases, if my budget allows. All things being equal, if there are two new releases I have to choose between, the vendor I've gotten great deals from will get the sale.

    And when vendors come in afterward and tell us not to feel guilty about taking advantage of such a glitch, it just makes me want to buy even more of their products.
