    Daz Mods,

    The Bonus Buyer item is currently showing as the same product featured yesterday. As the adcopy states "Different items added EVERYDAY!" this is some sort of glitch, right?

    The Bridget HD is, indeed, today's Bonus.

    But wasn't that yesterdays?

    Yes, the Bridget HD Addon was the the Bonus yesterday. Early in this MM, some items stayed Bonus for two days, but a new item was still added each day.

    but a new item was still added each day.  That should be underlined... atm we have Bridget sale and nothing else. What kind of madness is this?! :)

    Take the "adn" out of Madness and that's what it is.

    Which was yesterdays "new" item.

    But look closely at the adcopy. The offer at the top of the page is for "Bonus Madness" items. There is no such section on the sales page. Instead, there is now a Bonus Buyer section…

    I ask again, are these two, Bonus Madness and Bonus Buyer, really the same thing?

    Yes could we please get some clarification on this.

    I have realized the 12hr/70% off are an everyday occurance for March - my daily check in for products has taken a different direction starting this week.

    Yep.  First year I can remember where I'm spending more in March at Rendo than at DAZ.  No mental gymnastics, no hoops to jump through, just serious discounts.  So glad I didn't buy another DAZ GC the other day.

    I let my PC+ expire at the end of Feb. It's a black hole for me and my cc. For over a year (or more) I pay on my cc every month,  but the balance never goes down cuz of spending here. Daz is like a loan shark for me. You keep paying but you never get ahead. :(   I have every Pro Bundle known to man except the rare few that I'd never use. I haven't even downloaded content from way back to Monique 8 Pro Bundle from Nov 2017.  Pathetic. So yeah, I'm tapping out even though I've been a PC member since it became a 'thing'.
    I wish I could hang in there, but the need to buy a newer used car in 4 months outweighs the need to nearly max out my cc.

    Does anyone feel like this or is it just me? I even took the Daz link off my menu bar to avoid temptation. Sigh....crying

    Indeed.

    PC Plus may seriously damage your wealth. :)

    I don't impulse buy; only way to control the click, click, click... "Woohoo new shinies."

    I see. How many hours was it up how many times did people ask for an explanation. I bought on the fact of the advertised information. I may have to consider returning my purchases

    So, let me get this part out of the way: I love having more discounts. So yay to more discounts.

    That said...I usually have no problems figuring out stacking discounts, but a lot of the offers relating to this MM have so many criss-crossing conditions that they've truly hurt my brain for the first time since I've joined Daz. I often have no clue if the discounts applying in the cart are correct. Madness, indeed.

    And what about "Get an EXTRA 70% OFF* when you have bought a New Release from the last THREE (3) days" I bought something because I though okay that not so bad, might be usefull and I'll have 2 more chances to get 70% off something as the advertisment refered to daily items, now it turns out we don't get that many chances, if B. HD stays tommorrow too then it was 0 more chances. Shouldn't that rule be changed too or shouldn't there be some compensation? (Shouldn't we get extra days, if there is no change in the item?)

    If the potential saving of 70% on a forthcoming item was what tipped you into buying something when you did then yes, you may want to consider a refund request should the actual offers up to the last day of the window not seem worthwhile - but I would assume you actually wanted the items you purchased so you will need to weight the whole range of relevant offers in the balance.

  • gitika1gitika1 Posts: 948

    The sale seems poorly designed.  The "Key to Unlock Savings" indicates that you will receive an additional 10% off if you have bought the products shown.  As a Bridget 8 owner, I receive a banner and message say thank you, have an extra 10% off, or 20% if two items are purchased; however Daz double dips and declares them the same discount.  Why even bother with the message and banner?  Those of us who can read, know that Bridget was shown as a "Key."

    For people who didn't already read the sales page I assume...
  • XelloszXellosz Posts: 855

    I didn't buy Landon pro bundle because of Lycan (not for my taste), so giving Fergal HD a chance to play with was a hard decision. If it wouldn't have come with some nice deals (1 free product, B. HD at lower price and 2 70% sale) so I could consider it free; I wouldn't have bought it. 

    If I can't consider it free, I'll pass on it and on the free bedroom model too, I have several bedrooms and HD-s and I could make models too. 

    It's more of a question of principle for me, even if only the 2 HD + 1 bedroom would be a good deal at that price.

  • Most of the MM sales just aren't appealing to me this year--again. Not counting the usual PC+ & biweekly freebies, the only things I have bought were a gift card on the last 10% Off GC deal and the Kenji 7 Magical Guy poses. I only bought the poses because I saw in my wishlist that they were 70%; I guess they were part of one of the Featured Artist promos or something.

    There's always another day of sales

    If it wasn't for the sales at Rendo, I would think I was starting to lose interest in this hobby.  As it is, the generally mediocre MM discounts thus far have forced me to face the fact that the cost of DAZ products have been creeping higher and my income hasn't. I won't stop buying, but I'm going to be a lot more particular about what I buy in the future as I realistically already have just about anything I need to do thousands of renders without buying a single more item.

    Unless there's a really, really good sale...

    ...in the other "MM"

    Marquette slipped to a 4 seed and 6 spots to 16th in the AP poll after losing 3 straight, all to unranked teams.  Wisconsin retained their #4 position in spite of a loss last week but slipped to spots to #21 in the AP ranking,

    Somehow in spite of a sub .500 conference record, Ohio State is still projected as a 10 seed.

    Championship week coming up soon.

    Wow, this thread really took off!

    I still find myself longing for the deals of yore in this sale.  I think a lof of the issue is that I've already bought a lot of stuff in previous sales, and have finally reached that place where most of what I need is now in my library, but yeah I'm missing the stacked discounts and numerous 70/80/90%+ off deals we saw in past years.  Sure, a lot of that was on older stuff, but I still use older stuff a lot in my art, so I'm happy with what I have.  And since I'm not a 'Genesis 8 only' kinda guy (I actually prefer Genesis 2 and 3 for a lot of my stuff), yeah, still underwhelmed so far.

    The Bridget 8 deal isn't particularly bad, but doesn't rise to the level of a number of past pro bundle sales from the last year and a half or so.  I'll probably grab her in the next few days, but I'm waiting to see if there's an associated offer I like.

    I still have a bunch of hair I want to pick up, but 65% off isn't going to cut it with me I guess, particularly for 'older gen' hairstyles.  That hair sale we had about 14 months ago was awesome, I keep hoping we'll get a repeat of that one.

    So, I'm sure some people are getting some good deals for MM, but for me it still feels like 'March Mehness 2019'.  Just had to share.

  • I picked up some old bundles I didn't have all the bits of - but it was cheaper to not get a new item I didn't want and couldn't use and just pay the 'list' price.  Sort of a sale...

    Yep. And even Duke lost a point to slip to number 4. And it surely was not a vey impressive win over Wake Forest yesterday so when the ratings come out again on Monday they may be even lower.

    Sigh... Another day, another totally lame MM effort on the part of DAZ.  Not only have the "unique for the day" and "related items" not changed for the third day in the row... apparently demonstrating that the DAZ marketing people have no idea what the words "unique for the day" actually means...but to add insult to injury, instead of new products for the Bonus Madness section, they're putting up a couple of ancient items that have all sold in the $1-#3 price range recently.

    The Bonus Mad doesn't say new, just unique to that category from what I can see. I'm seeing more than a couple, so I'm guessing it depends on what you own. Many who come to the forums, especially regulars, often have many products. Keep in mind we get new people every day, so these sales can be quite appealing to them. During the month, I'm sure there is something for everyone.

    Hi,

    "40% OFF¥ Select Mad Artist Items Buy 2 or more to get them at 50% OFF*- NOW INCLUDING PC+ ITEMS - PC+ items will discount in cart"

    I tried the PC+ item part, it doesn't seem to be working for me. Anyone else tried it?

  • nonesuch00nonesuch00 Posts: 18,795

    I stopped following American sports and buying name brand sporting clothing sadly enough.

    My latest buy was one of the 1st things on my wish list from years ago. I finally I got the Anatomy Pro Bundle via buying the Anatomy Starter Bundle for only $2.99. I didn't need to buy the Anatomy Pro Bundle to get it because other V4 and M4 bundles I had either bought or received for being in the PC+ club meant I had all the needed pieces except the yucky internal parts of the Anatomy Pro Bundle.

    When it's cart related, please always show an example cart so we can try it.

  • XelloszXellosz Posts: 855

    Random example cart:

    They are not new ones and in the PC+ list. (ps: I don't know which PC+ items are in the sale, but there have been no indication saying they should be new ones or not so I choosed random old one.)

    They are here and there are some listed within the listed PA stores on the sales page. Random won't necessarily work.
