Not To Worry, Friend, "There's Always Another Sale™"

  • Why does adding a gift-card nerf the discount on Ron's brushes? ('Friends of PC+ Discount')  (Tried refreshing etc) - removing the gift-card makes the discounts reappear.

    I can do it in two orders - just annoying and makes the CC take a little hit for the two transactions.

    The same "new releases" three days in a row? Nothing new? 

    There are rarely new releases during catch up sales

    Well, there were a couple of PC+ items I intended to buy that rotated off the sales page before I got them. I was looking forward to getting them in the catchup, but if Daz isn't going to apply the intro discount, I'll just wait. I can pay full PC+ price for them anytime, so there's no hurry.

    Kinda sad, though, so many of the PC+ new releases from the sale aren't getting the intro discount. After all, it is the PC+ Anniversary Sale.

    Yes I was sad about that too - there were two or three I didn't pick up as Debut as I was waiting in case I needed a trigger in a couple of days time for a discount on other items, but they fell off the Still New list before I knew it. Catchup (even just the current 30% less 10% for members) would have been good.

    Kinda meh on the catch up...was hoping for a big Final day, like all debut news back to original discount.  I was glad to pick up a couple of items that I missed before, though.

    Was still hoping for the build your own anniversary bundle.  :-)

    I'm seeing an intro discount on the PC items I looked at - the Newly PC do seem to be a base $1.99, but I think they were initially (and then got an extra discount in the cart).

    I was hoping for the intro discounts again too on the final day. Still great deals, but can only afford so much, so I'll get less stuff.

    I'm pretty confused what the actual discounts should be on a lot of things for this catchup sale, which is making me hesitant to ever check out. It seems every time I check, some things have different discounts than they did a few hours prior - very confusing. Like for example, Giuseppe had a 56% discount a few hours ago and now has a 37% discount - yesterday was also 37% so maybe this was a glitch. But I've noticed that on some other items as well... In general the discounts seem much less than the intro prices, but I assume those are the actual discounts.

    The 56% on soem PA items was wrong - I think it was a cosnequence of the fix for soem items showing only 10% yesterday, and was itself fixed a few hours ago.

    Yes, it looks as if quite a few older items are like that  -though I don't rcall the Newly PC rereleases as having an intro discount when they appeared, even though they are in the list. I've flagged it up.

    Thanks Richard. Those were introduced during thi first few weeks of the PC+ sale and had an introductory discount then.

    Ah, thanks for the clarification Richard. So it looks look the 37% is the correct one then - just didn't want to check out if the discount was lower than the intended one.

  • dragotxdragotx Posts: 1,147

    And now just about all of the debut and still new releases have lost their discount, including the PC+ discount

    My fault, I meant to give them as examples but that wasn't how it was understood - I have correct that now, so hopefully the prices will be corrected.

  • NovicaNovica Posts: 23,923

    I haven't bothered shopping at all the past two days. I've had it with this site making me anxious that prices will change as I'm checking out, so now I rarely put anything in the cart. My carts have rarely gone over $15 and those were Fast Grabs which didn't have changing prices. It's rare to go several days during a mega sale and not buy a thing. I don't have time for this nonsense. Just read the last two pages of this thread. Chaos and ridiculous, utterly ridiculous. 

    And the Forum Moderators jobs are forums.  Imagine what it would be like if they weren't graciously assisting with fixing this mess. And for all the shoppers who don't visit the forums? SHUDDER.  I hate it when my cart changes and prices go whacky like this current mess. Jack, I feel bad for you and the other PC+ contributors,  because you put a lot of time into planning this. We do appreciate you and  I do want to thank all the PAs who participated, some very nice new items!

    I agree, but this is also the most complicated sale I've ever seen here. Then again, I started using Daz shortly after the last PA sale, so I never got a chance to see it.

    In 4.10 release, I tried help > about daz studio for the first time. Only 18 people listed! They support Daz Studio software, qa, customer support, etc. I'm amazed to be honest.

    They have a new sale (with sale art) almost every single day. Yes, there are plenty of sales glitches, but the output of the Daz team is impressive nonetheless. Perhaps they could have a sale every other day instead of every day and reduce glitches, but as a business, you kinda have to go with what makes sense financially.

    I'm not trying to make excuses for the glitches and rollercoaster pricing, but I do respect the amount they do/produce with such a small company.

    I meant items like these, new introductions (not "Newly PC" but brand new) during the early days of the Anniversary Sale:

    October 22nd (7th day of sale): https://www.daz3d.com/princess-of-darkness-2 and https://www.daz3d.com/old-metal-shaders (no discount whatsoever)
    November 6th: https://www.daz3d.com/saree-for-genesis-8-female-and-victoria-8 (showing the 30% intro discount but no extra 10% members discount)

    Edit: If I put 2 or more in my cart I am getting the 20% discount for a multi-buy,  but they are not exactly "back on sale".

    @MelanieL, This is too much hassle for things I don't really need. If they can't get it right after two days, I'll just wait. There will be another sale. And even if they did get all the discounts to work right, I can probably get a better price in a few months. Worst case scenario, they'll be a good price for next year's PC sale. At this point, I just want to save my budget for the upcoming holiday sales.

    Yes, you're right. It's just a bit of a shame. Roll on the next sale... laugh

    Thanks..!

    I tip my hat to the forum mods, too.  Yes, I've been more active reporting issues and the like, but they've caught things on numerous occassions (as they usually do). So my thanks to them also.. and also the guys behind the scenes who have been up fixing stuff during the night.

    The same "new releases" three days in a row? Nothing new? 

    Four days in a row now? I think this is the longest we've gone without any new releases. I might be having withdrawal symptoms. lol

  • Yes, you do. I am STILL finding stuff to pick up. And the more future scripts I write, the more stuff I need.

    ANNNdddd I'm still hoping there's something for Black Friday. lol

    Anyone remember if there was last year?

    Or did I say this already in another thread? Hmmm....

    Where is Wear-them-all for awWww shucks!

    --

    We got some big ones coming.

    There's the ies light script and Magix 101 has a new set coming...AND A NEW GIANT ROBOT!!!!

    And who knows what Stonemason might do along with Zev0....it's going to get even more expensive around these parts.

    Be glad for the break....

    And 3 days in a row of no changes to the sales at all.  While my wallet is happy, I'm rather disapointed.

    I am curious about what is coming also. I looked back at my receipts for last black friday / cyber monday weekend.  WOW! The sales must have been amazing ... i finally purchased some Generation 7 base characters I was missing, I heavily bought into the Animate products (I was just starting into animation then), and a lot of miscellaneous items.

    By the way ... to Jack and the DAZ team ... there were some glitches, but all-in-all, it was a great sale ... good job!!!

    While it's not necessarily advertised, the prices keep changing, so there ARE new things going on.

  • pruggipruggi Posts: 151

    Looks like things got even more expensive today... discounts for a bunch of things went back down to 10%, some DO items jumped in price, like Jace HD, with the dicount going down to 47%... looks like the jumping prices have returned... or just gotten more expensive.
