    I'm holding out for the right price! :D

    Something is still wrong. 

    Star 2.0 in my cart alone is $53.97

    If I add a cheap item that is in a related artist category, Say Golden Jaguar for Melody 2, the discount drops the price of Star 2.0 to $44.98. 

    If I add Kobold Woodland Spirit, Star 2.0 drops to $17.99. But that price remains the same if I remove Golden Jaguar for Melody 2. 

    So... there *should* be some additional stacking with the combination I am describing... I was seeing that total discount with 2 Newly Mad items in the cart with Star 2.0 - and it was bringing the price of the Star 2.0 bundle to just under $15. 

    It is *almost* fixed. :) 

     

    My reading of the discount headers is that you only get the extra 20% discount on the catalogue with 2 newly mad in the cart.

    Any way to get these fixed before the flash sale expires?  

    The 50% off for two or more items is not working with the featured artists that were added today.

    Also broken is the MM Bonus buyer banner offer. That says that a "Still Mad" item is enough to trigger the extra discount, but in fact only "Newly Mad" items seem to trigger it.

     

    If you screen shot the offer, then raise a ticket with CS; they are great at refunding stuff when there have been glitches. Just be sure to properly screenshot everything.

    Heh. This feels sort of like buying a car. Daz keeps slipping me a piece of paper with a number on it... and I keep writing my number and slipping it back. :) 

    And the numbers are *really* close to my remaining store credit from my gift card. :D 

    If you're like me, you want some credit left too. :)

  • donovancolbertdonovancolbert Posts: 1,421

    I'm not sure what is going on... but the fact that I get ONE discount on Star 2.0 with a qualifying item in the cart... 

    And a different discount with a Newly Mad item in the cart... 

    But the two discounts don't stack, and there is nothing that says that they DON'T stack... 

    And the fact that before this was "fixed," Star 2.0 was discounting more with 2 Newly Mad items *in* the cart... 

    Makes me feel like there is something not working right. But I'm not going to buy when I'm not sure how the DAZ math works. If it gets fixed so that the price I saw is what I get when I have a newly mad item *and* another qualifying "new" item in the cart... then I'll pull the trigger. At this point, it looks like I'm going to hang on to my $25 another day, and I'm not going to add Star 2.0 to my collection this time around. :)

    Ha ha, I said that, and then the wood spirits got me (though it was the new freebies that sucked me back in!)

    Oooh, the secret orange banners are getting smarter (and also sending emails as backup in this case.) Now it's noticing that I didn't buy anything all March and tempting me with secret secret offers!

    LOL I must be spending too much. I haven't gotten any orange banners all month.

    Lots of AntFarm items with sku#  under 1600 for great prices!

  • donovancolbertdonovancolbert Posts: 1,421

    I sat down and did the math the whole way through. It is spot on. Daz actually rounds down a penny when it would be in their favor to round up. 

    The price I saw at $14.95 with 2 Newly Mad items in the cart must have been a glitch. It is a shame that there weren't two Newly Mad items that I wanted enough or that were cheap enough to jump on that bargain. 

    As it is... I managed to find a "second" item inexpensive enough that they've finally slid a piece of paper back to me that I'm going to have to sit and think about - and I'm pretty sure that'll be their final offer today. :D

    Weird. I got that price earlier also. Didn't buy it tho, was just looking at the price, as I have the Starter Bundle already.

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    I"ve hardly spent anything this March and I haven't got a single orange banner yet.

    the new day's sales ads are up on front page, but the actual sale page is still showing yesterday's products. 

  • mrposermrposer Posts: 1,134

    Same problem here.

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    ok they're up now. 

    I've lost my bonus buyer banner as it's been 4 days since I bought anything. Anyone tell me what it says today? See whether it's worth nabbing something small today.

    Nothing special. Just the standard stuff - 10% off etc.

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    Thanks Charlie. I'll leave it for today.

    I lost my banner too. So they've just removed any incentive for me to buy anything really. All the stuff they keep offering (as super discounted stuff) is stuff I already own. Hey, big discounts on the things you paid for when they came out, horray! So now as a little extra encouragement to purchase the mediocre items we've had for the past few days we're going to remove that last little discount that might have pushed you over the edge. I'm tempted by Zeddicuss' Gym pose set, but frankly anything else I kind of think is interesting I've just put on my wishlist for a better sale later. I bought some stuff in the beginning that was actually nice but the figures some of these PA's make look like gene-spliced replicants (or sisters/clones). And I don't much like beauty marks either I'm afraid.

    I mostly buy new figures for their textures to use for my own figures. Though I admit I miss the days of figures resembling celebrities, those I bought like candy if they were any good. Oh well, I don't expect a pity party. But they might realize that they have long time customers who really aren't in a position to take advantage of these sales the way they're designed, obviously they're for those newer to DS.

    Just got back into Daz this month after a few years of a break.  Today's Pro Bundle deals is what I've been waiting for.  V7 and M7 Pro bundles for less than $25 each after adding three newly mad or still mad items. Place in cart and purchase with my unused store credit I bought when it was like 24% off.

    You just need to buy any cheap (e.g. PC+) 2$ item to get the banner back.

    If you plan to buy for more than 20$ in the next 3 days it soesn't even matter if you have any use for the item or not.

    BTW. March Madness was allways set up in a way that you have to buy approx every 3 days to reap the full discounts just the mechanics differed.

    No.

    Just: No.

    It wasn't always like that.

    There was a time when during March Madness you got new items at a great discount without having to buy something extra and without having bought something before.

    Once upon a time:

    Placed At    3/14/2007 at 03:26:09

    Jenna     5062     $15.95

    (Nowadays Jenna costs $17.95 ... go figure)

    Well, I guess I WAS complaining about not getting the free + 80%off pro bundle promo... The 80% off is here, now all we need is the free one. :))))

  • 3Diva3Diva Posts: 11,970

    Can someone tell me what the March Madness Bonus Banner free item is? I lost the banner and don't want to buy anything to renew it if the free item isn't something I'm interested in.

    Ah ok. Thanks guys. I'll probably pass on renewing the banner today then. I'm not seeing anything I really want.

  • With everybody talking about how much better the MM sales used to be years ago I went digging and found an email from MM back in 2008, email was sent 3/21/2008 and the big announcement was:

    March Madness Ends with a Male Sale!

     

    We're putting all of the DAZ Original Male products we know of on sale at 40% off the regular price through Monday, March 24. Platinum Club members can save up to 58%!*

    That's everything including clothing, textures, hair, you name it!

    *Regular sale price plus Platinum Club discount

  • nicsttnicstt Posts: 11,715

    I'm considering my first character purchase this month; https://www.daz3d.com/vilde-for-genesis-3-female and the Gym set and poses. It looks like a good deal and the discount is almost at where I start to consider purchasing.

    Well, back in the old days they had clothing, textures and hair in the DAZ Original Sales!!! This year we only had textures! laugh

    Just my opinion, but I remember too the March Madness and the PA Festival as the BIG Sales of the year to get great discounts on PA products. Besides introduction sales for new PA products there were less PA sales during the year. Most of the time the promotions were on DAZ Originals or Categories.

    As far as I remember, the reputation of both big PA sales was ruined with the introduction of the punch sales. Something like, buy 5 items this week to get 5% additional discount next week. This type of sale was running the whole year with different names. I am glad, really, really glad DAZ got rid of those. wink

    The Buy-This-To-Get-Discount-On-Something-Else is now the type of sale DAZ is running the whole year with different names, mainly focused on PA products. So March Madness is just another sale name, but nothing special anymore.
