    Not sure when they'd be on sale for cheaper again but definitely have seen them cheaper several times. The MM sale is basically for new items and some of the super complicated combined special deals: The Even More Madness sections of selected older items are really not a big discount compared to their normal appearances in Daz sales.

    I sure wish they would change the related items. Again, it's Star and MV. We've now had those FOUR days. (or more, lost track.)  People have had enough chances to buy two items and get discounts with those vendors!!!

    I think it's five days now.

    It was nice they had The Girl 7 and Olympia 7 yesterday. Too bad they don't at least include half a dozen items or so each day that aren't Star and MV.

    Yeah, remember when they put the Pro bundles at 70% for several of them? It takes awhile before that happens, but it does randomly occur.

    With the extra 15% off for the catalogs, after the 50% off if you buy both bundles, that would be what percent?

    100.00 x 50%= 50.00 x 15%= -7.50 so that is $42.50 (out of 100.00 for the 100%) so 100-42.50 is 57.50. Am I correct then that you're getting a discount of 57.50%?  That's not worth buying TWO bundles for a 57.50% discount off catalogs IMO. Did I do this right? (Late at night, tired.)

    EDIT: And of course the catalogs aren't discounting correctly, not giving even the half off. Sapphire Hair (24.95 is doing 21.21 in cart with both bundles in the cart. Should be half off AND 15%.) 

    ((($100.00 - 50%) - 10%) - 15%) = $38.25 or 61.75% off these catalogs: outoftouch, Raiya, Stonemason, and ShanasSoulmate

    So that's 50% off for 2+ MM items, an extra 10% off for the DMBs, (looks like two DMBs don't stack today,) and finally, an extra 15% off the four featured catalogs. All other catalogs will get the 55% off—50%, then 10%—not counting the Star and MV Related Mad catagories and their "boosters."

    That's if you're getting the extra 10% for The Girl though. Without it, was my math right?  EDIT: Oops, I see that Stonemason's the Daily Mind Blower so that's the 10%. Got it. Your DMB didn't register, sorry.

    I think it is stacking. I've got Henryk (one of the four catalogs that gets the 15% off) in the cart with the two bundles and its one of the four stores, and the price is 17.95, he is showing at 6.86.  Half of 17.95 is 8.98 x 15% (1.35) off is 7.63. And if you DO the 10% off for getting that bundle (the Daily Mind Blower) then minus 76 cents is ta-dah, 6.87 (off a penny) 

    So yes, you get the 10% Daily Mind Blower AND the 15% off the stores when shopping in the stores. Have fun!

    EDIT:  I did the math and that's about 62%.  In this example, 17.95 - 11.09 (what I got off and paid 6.87) , the 11.09 is about 62%  (11.13 is 62% of 17.95)

    No problem... I didn't buy The Girl Pro, so I keep forgetting about that extra 10%... blush

    Okay, Sapphire Hair isn't discounting, it's in the four featured stores and not marked New. It only discounts about 3 bucks. 24.95 to 21.21

    I think that came out on March 5th. That's my order date in DIM. Too early to not be considered new.

  • NovicaNovica Posts: 23,923

    Well, weird isn't it? It shouldn't be discounting at all then! And should be marked NEW.

    When I look at all the maths in the posts on this thread my brain sees more or less what it does when I look at one of those Asian spammer post titles. I'm so useless at maths that I might as well be looking at a Russian knitting pattern. I hate the extreme mental acrobatics involved in shopping here - what would really be 'mad' enough to fly in the face of what passes for sanity in this place would be a simple offer that says 'This item usually costs $X, but today it costs $Y!'. Just too crazy, probably :)

    It's funny because at the start of the month people were happy because the sale was simple (but not so many great deals.) Now there are some amazing deals but it takes many purchases and several accounting agencies to find them. 

    The xmas punch sale really was better (and simpler, as mad as that is!)

    But you couldn't return the punch sale items - with MM, you can (and some people who accidentally bought RDNA items here again are quite happy about that!)

    If there was an offer / account switch to get an extra 10% off anything but have no option to return, I would take it in a heartbeat.

    Yes, by buying the two "mindblower" bargains together it gives the buyer 61.75% off the stores of outoftouch, Raiya, Stonemason and ShanasSoulmate (not including new, etc). Plus the buyer gets Victoria 7; Genesis 3 Female Body Morphs; Genesis 3 Female Head Morphs; Genesis 3 Female Expressions and Pitfall Poses for Victoria 7 - for free (or no additional cost, if you prefer). That's a very good deal indeed for anyone who really fancies both bundles and hasn't picked up those G3F items.

    Although 61.75% isn't thrillingly more than the 60% off these stores might appear in a flash sale, here there is plenty of time to browse (assuming this offer is up for the whole weekend, which the promo implies - but don't bank on it).

    And don't the folks who bought The Girl 7 bundle get an additional 10% off that 61.75%? That would indeed be a tidy amount off. I didn't buy it, so I don't know. I'm happy at getting The Girl for $1.71 (used my PC coupon of $6) then Lauren at 10% less than if I'd bought her yesterday. (due to getting the DMB.)

    Astracadia, I'll try not to blow your mind with any more math. Once a year is enough for me- I'm not mathematically inclined either!

    I saw a couple of non-MV items mixed in with MV's sale the other day. I had to click on the related-MM button to see them.

    This is the day that Stonemason wins.  Grabbing both bundles and going crazy with his store.  I don't really care for the Ronya bundle, but I'm instead treating it as "Buy the G3F morph & expressions bundle for $18, get some cool poses and a hair piece for free."

    well I don't want to complain, but my DAZ experience could be vastly improved if every time I find myself looking at a category that's completely empty due to 'hide items I own' the site would display a big thumbs up saying something like: 'Well, that just means you are awesome!' wink

    If you uncheck that box where it says "Hide Items I own", you'll probably see a few items there. Obviously, you aren't the target for this particular sale, since you already own everything they are offering.

    Same here. I loaded my cart on Saturday, decided to wait until today (Sunday) to see if the new Daily Mind Blower would be more useful to me... and here it is, Sunday, and the Daily Mind Blower must be so mind blowing that they carried it over for another day!

    There's not one single part of Femina Furins that I can use, not even the flat heeled boots! But, adding it to my cart brought the price down $10.00, so oh, well. I just wish that the Daily Mind Blower was, well, daily and mind-blowing. Something like Under the Overpass...

    But, yeah, a bunch of green scraps of paper are set to fly out of my wallet into Stonemason's account at Daz. Like little green bees headed for the honey.

    I'd never seen all those old Japanese buildings by sugatak before. Sadly the wallet is a cruel mistress so I shall have to wait for the PA sales or something to buy up their entire store.

    They need a contest in April...Win your Wishlist ! limited to 700 items.....lol

    ...first MM I've missed since I got involved with this over eight years ago because I am now on a fixed income and can no longer affored to purchase anything.  Even had to let my PC membership expire at the end of last month .

    AAAARRRRGGHHH!

    So I placed my order, including that useless (to me) Femme Furins, because the sale was ending Sunday night and I didn't want to lose the discounts. So what happens? Daz extends the weekend sale one more day and offers a much better Daily Mind Blower, Posh Comfort, that I would have gladly waited for. Ah, well. I'm done for the month, unless there's a killer catch up sale.

    I gave Femme Furins a miss but have got Posh Comfort in my cart because I've been looking around for a while for a simple low poly window with fitted curtains that could frame what's beyond. However, a closer look reveals that the curtains would frame the candlestick on the wall(!) instead and the windows are completely bare. Colour me baffled :) I'll probably give this one a miss too.

    The curtains are seperate props; so maybe you coud use them around the windows instead.

    I would open an Support ticket and ask if you can exchange the two Items, If you did not have anything in yesterdays cart that is no longer available today, I'm sure it should not be a big issue.
