    These?

    No, it was this one: https://www.daz3d.com/le-manoir-abandonne It's in the PC stuff now, but I actually saw the price on my screen as being $3.29 or something equally unbelievable. I'm not a PC member (yet?) so I wondered if it could have been a glitch.

    Ah, yes, it was $2.39, but its normal PC+ price is only $3.99, so I can only recommend that PC+ membership.

    That's its PC price - (with perhaps another offer included, but maybe not), but seeing that sort of price is common; as it's Runtime DNA, they do have fairly frequent sales so it will come round again if join PC and it is off Sale.

  • The biggest interesting quirk I'm noting in this sale is a pattern of items that are FREE with 2 purchases one day and 70% OFF with 1 purchase the next. I think I approve? Not that I've taken advantage of either instance yet.

    I like this one, too.  I got a great apocolytic truck for free that I probably wouldn't have got otherwise.  Missed the Lo-Res Cat & Rat bundle and there were actually 2 items I really wanted that day.  Only saw them the next.  But 70% off an expensive bundle isn't quite the same as free.  So I'll keep waiting for the 2 items I wanted.

  • By the way, has anybody noticed that there's nothing on FastGrab?  Or is it just me?

    I noticed; but that happens sometimes when there is a 'catchup' or at lot of PAs as featured artists. I think DAZ does that to avoid inadvertant stacking

  • Anybody succumbed to the Gift Card sale yet?  My gut reaction is that I'm going to spend the money anyway being as it's the PA sale and next month is PC+ sale, I might as well save 20% extra.  My brain tells me I'm spending too much money on content, I've got tons of stuff I've never used and I don't need anything more, yada, yada, yada.  And then, there's the undeniable fact that it's the PA sale.... back to the beginning... rinse, repeat... indecision

    Even if you don't spend it during the PA sale, that's still 20% off. And you're most likely going to buy items at a discounted price, so that's the discounted price, PLUS the 20% off that you got with the giftcard.

    I always get gift card sales assuming I have the money to cover it.

    Having a 20% savings on future content purchases is a huge plus, and I know I'm going to spend it eventually.

    I was really hoping there would be more of the 'Starter Bundles' (or character-only) with the 'Pro Bundles' on sale today. I'm still building my library and I missed out on picking a lot of them up during the Victoria Sale.

    Oso3D, you got a major point!!  So I bought one, and, OF COURSE, they still haven't fixed the redemption process.  I clicked on the code in the email and it gave me a "Wrong gift card code" error. I tried pasting the code in - no spaces before or after.  Still get the error. Does anybody remember how to activate these things?

    Does anybody remember the details of yesterday? I was lost in a project and barely noticed the passage of hours.

    I've been buying things every single day so far, so yeah, the gc was a no brainer.  Our PAs are producing such tempting fare it is impossible to resist.

    LOL!  I know that feeling.  There are 4 or 5 items just in the last couple of days that are calling my name.  So I'm playing with the stuff I bought last month in order to distract me.

    I sometimes get 2 emails for one gift card and the second code has worked every time.

    Did you get two emails with gift codes? Usually one of the codes works and the other doesn't. But if you only got one email and that code doesn't work then you will have to contact cusomer support.

    Also, check if it's been added to your store credit balance. When you successfully redeem the card, there's no feedback, and the next time it will say it's a wrong code. So it's not too obvious when it succeeds, but you can check the balance to make sure.

    Oh that's right!!  I found the 2nd one and sure enough, it worked.  Ati, I thought there was something involving the Store Credit screen but I couldn't remember what.  Thank for that info. All is good.  Now, if I can keep from spending it all once....

    I still have enough in credit; I buy some more and I'll buy stuff I wouldn't have bought anyway - always do just after buying a card; next day and sometimes following I'm a bit slack.

    So no; although might have if exchange rate had been better.

    It rather feels to me as though the PA sale is off to a slower start than usual. But that kind of observation is necessarily subjective. 

    There've been a couple of days where I was really interested in several new releases interspersed by several days where nothing really grabbed me. 

    Part of the problem is that I've been around long enough that I already have three other variants of half the things that I'd normally have been tempted by, and the skimpwear is rarely anything I could imagine using.

    There was a huge abandoned mansion set on sale for a ridiculously low price on Wednesday. It was back to normal price before I got around to it, though. Me = sad.

    These? https://www.daz3d.com/the-barlow-house-ravenskull-court They were in fastgrab, not in the PA sale, so they are not likely to come back even during a catch-up sale.

    I got that when I was testing at rdna.  It's a nice item.  As expensive as it is now, I'm glad I got it free back then! Yikes....

  • sapatsapat Posts: 1,735

    A few good deals for the men sprinkled throughout, but I don't see these sales as being anything more than the usual.

    They nearly got me yesterday with the Lorez Cat & Rat Bundle but none of the items needed as a buy-in was worth it for me... I knowit's just me, but to me it feels as if the sweetest deals always come with stuff that doesn't interest me a bit as buy-in. And with a limited budget that is a no-go. Add to that, none of the things that DID interest me were "must have" items, just "would be nice to have them, when they come up cheap enough"

    So yeah, it's "March slightly weirdness" all over for me...

    I got it since it was so cheap.  I've never owned any of the lo res items, so will see.  I have the Mil Cat and Noggins rat already.  Probably use these for distance characters.

    Strange... I have absolutely no problem to resist these offers at all.

    The only thing I bought from this PA sale was a $ 50.- Giftcard that should get me through this and part of the next month.

    Perhaps ... but there are a number of big name vendors that have not been in the sale, they just had a gift card sale, and tomorrow is the first tuesday in a four tuesday month ... something HUGE may be coming quickly ... or not.

    It does seem like they (Daz and the PAs) are putting out more content than before. Maybe I'm wrong, but didn't the new releases used to only reach like 3 or 4 pages? Now it's like 11 pages. Not that I'm complaining, it just seems like information overload.

  • I am easily overwhelmed. I avoid confusing, complicated deals. And I don't look through more than 3 or 4 pages. Yes, I do appreciate the wonderful deals!

    LaTonya. A nice addition to the PA sale.

    Well that's a rude thing to say about the new girl. <grins>

    I just wish I hadn't entirely missed the Gift Card sale. The downside of sales on holidays, I guess.

    Same here.  Last week there were a couple of items that I liked and did pick up on the weekend.  This week ... my wallet is safe.  The thought this morning was, "how many pools does one need and wet skin must be popular right now."

  • JOdelJOdel Posts: 6,317

    Yeah. On my end, there'll be a stiring of days where there may things I like the look of, but don't actually need (and the materials are Iray only anyway) and then bam, a day where I want or have an actual use for just about everything.

    The Iray only is turning out to be the main deterant. I picked up a lot of things over the past year thinking that I could just use a different shader, but that doesn't work for hair, and while it seems to work for skin, half the time when you open the scene and try to render again, it comes out flat white. Which means having to start over.
