    Well I was up until 2:30 AM last night (for non-DAZ reasons) and I almost decided to stay up till 3 AM and see the next batch of freebies, but then I thought better of it and went to bed.
    3 AM my time coincided with the massive giveaway/glitch, so although I'm left feeling 100% innocent I'm also 100% bereft of those glitchy Pro Bundles. If only I could turn back time....crying

    ETA: I'm not really feeling sorry for myself though - I have snagged 24 freebies for a cost of 2 PC+ items over the past three days and it's not quite over yet.

    MelanieL... Don't feel bad. As usual, I missed the glitch sale. Really wish I hadn't because Money is tight and I could have used some of those bundles.....:-(

    I got one of the pro-packs and then after I got the free one, I found out about the other page and one of the cartoon kids packs. I had hoped that because there we so many that you could then get one if the ones that you didn't get...last day free for all. But then this morning found outthat it wasn't to be....also hoped they would drop the Guy 7 pro pack...i had spent the money I could earlier..so had to wait for the next free round.

    Hmmmf, spent so much money getting funsies, that there are only two for me, so Love Potion is it.

    Also, haven't heard a reply from DAZ yet regarding the zendesk contact, but it is Sunday, after all.

    They probably have to recover from the opps last night. :)

    Am I wrong, or is the Black Friday Sale's page still showing yesterday's new releases in the spot where it's supposed to show today's? You have to actually go to the regular store page to find today's new releases.

    It's fun for a few days. :) Especially since so far every batch contained something that I didn't already have. Usually several.

    Yeah, Cyber Monday... lol.
    ​I followed PA Premier Sale, PC+ Anniversary Sale, now the mini Black-Friday(ThanksGiving section sale), lol ...

    ​I think I will pass on the expected future CyberMonday sale, as I expect DAZ will be releasing a new base character tuesday or a bit later.

    ​Hahaha.

    ​Anyway, NICE BATCH:
    - Love Potion Bundle
    - Love Me Hair

    Great additions to my runtime!
    ​My Josie 7 will love it !

    The freebie give away is great but I'm kicking myself because I already own almost all the free products and have still not used them. I missed the whole glitch thing and the first day and a half of the sale, so the only thing I got that I really wanted was the M7 HD, but I haven't even used M7 yet! I finally got a Windows PC on sale with an NVIDIA card just for rendering IRay (Mac person, I hate Windows,) so now I can render a lot more, no more 48 hr renders! laugh Yesterday the free item I had in my cart didn't even work so I sent in a ticket... 

  • BlueIreneBlueIrene Posts: 1,318

     The hair is Momotsuki (Pink Moon) Hair with UHT2 Ultimate Color hair shaders applied, and the jewelry is from DMR Lynettes Dark Nights, with shaders from Mec4d PBS shaders for iRay Vol 3 and from Gems and Minerals for Rock Collection applied.

    I know it's impossible to please everyone with the freebies but, I really wish they would have at least 1 set with 3 freebies I actually want. There are some new releases I'd really like to get but, the maximum amount of freebies I want or don't already have is steadily 1 or less every 4 hours. Here's to hoping for the last couple sets to come through.

    Okay, so I got a reply from Zendesk (Britney) and it looked like copy-pasted response (for which I'm not gonna blame, I guess there were LOTS of responses to slog through), and basically says I don't need to worry.

    "As most of you are aware, there was a glitch that offered many products for free that should not have been free. There are many of you that did get these items for free. We (Daz) will cover the costs for these products and nothing more will need to be done from your end.

    For those of you that did try to purchase an item that was shown as $0 and did not get that price, that was the case and it should not have been free. We apologize for the confusion.

    For those of you that got an item that showed $0 and you were charged for that item, please send us the order number and item name and we will get that resolved for you asap.

    We apologize for the error and inconvenience. This has been resolved. Thank you for your patience and understanding."

    I think I need to go and prune my products, there are so many things offered that I didn't even know I owned.
    Who is Kenna for V4, and when did she move into my computer?
    I really need to move some/many things to an external drive. My content library is getting unmanageable.

    Sine they started running this I've only had 1 or 2 that came up for me. Oh well. I guess we all spend to much money.

    I got the same response. I filed a ticket because AFTER the big glitch was fixed the V4 Naiad item was clearly shown as one of the 4 free items for that rotation, but I couldn't get it for free. I refreshed and refreshed, dumped cache, logged out and in again, you know, all the Magento-so-bad workarounds, and nothing worked. Oh well. What we don't get from that answer is whether or not Daz will be paying the PAs their share of the sale price the free bundles SHOULD have sold for. My advice for those who DID get the free bundles (I missed it) is to enjoy them without guilt. It was Daz's fault. If you still feel like you took unfair advantage, go back sometime later and buy other items from that PAs offerings. Simple.

    Ha. That is certainly one lesson to be learned here.

    I pruned a lot from my wishlist last night; if I have to think hard about gettign a product for the price of a PC item, I really don't need it... wink

    I had a different mindset during the glitch, I picked up stuff that I typically don't review for my Art Studio product thread.  I deliberately picked up some of the ultra sexy clothing. Then I had a thought I wanted to share- For anyone who would like to really support the vendors, I'd post images in the gallery and be sure to link the products used so you could possibly help generate sales.

    What is rather awkward is I have a TON of products NOT bought during the glitch from the PA sale (loved that 75% off Mega FastGrab) and those were all legitimate. I was still rendering those for my thread (and will be all next year LOL!) when this happened so hopefully the vendors will know everything rendered isn't "Gotten By Glitch." (GBG)

    Here's the first ultra sexy one, she's in the gallery. If you "Like" her she'll be more likely to show up on the product page, if people have Ati's app. Hope it helps the vendors.

    I opened a ticket too. I told them they could take it all back, but could I have Bethany 7 base because that was a legit freebee. I guess it's resolved now. I feel a bit guilty, but not as much now.

    I have a feeling I'll still be spending plenty of money in the store in the future. The only way they could get more money from me is if they offered home equity lines of credit.laugh

    What has been great about the freebies:  I've been getting items that had been put into and taken out of my cart over and over...items that I liked, but not enough to make the cut when I pushed the checkout button.  So, this sale is making me feel like Daz is helping me to finish out a bunch of wishlist items.

    Your link's stopped working for me since this last reset.

     

    I'm a bit freaked out by the fact that I've averaged at least 2 of the 5 freebies already owned each reset. Clealy I've spent way too much at this store over the years.
