    For yesterdays discounts I am sure I lost out , but the deal today says :

    Buy ANY Newly Mad Release to get an EXTRA 50% OFF* on these select Daz Original Items

    view select Daz Originals

    The link contains pc+ items and  originals, but the the pc+ items are not showing 50% off in the cart, but the Daz originals are showing 50% off in the cart. So why are the pc+ items being shown in the link if they are not qualifying for the 50% off? waiting... waiting becasuse at the moment I have over 40 items shoved into that cart.; can't wait all day though.

    The  EXTRA 50% OFF* on these select Daz Original Items refers to probably to the =>  • $50 OFF* Select Daz Originals B8's DAZ original items.

    No, there is a spearate button for the 50% off items.

    And why is Pose Architect in that 50% off DO list? It isn't even  DO.

    It's a mistake that was reported within half an hour of Daz Midnight. I'm surprised to see Daz hasn't removed it yet. Not only is it a PA item, it was only released last month and won't qualify for any discounts before April 6.

    its too bad all this product in the cart needs to happen just to get some sort of discount, that may or may not work. 

    Right now there is a flash sale on Stonemason and OOT ... it actually works ... wow..so delete cart once again and maybe go with this stuff ...

    This sale is punishing those who bought Bridget on the first day. Seriously, if this is not rectified, I’m returning everything. This is the most annoying sale ever! Can a mod please talk to sales/marketing and see if there’s a way to fix this for those who bought Bridget early?

    Once again the big discounts on the related items are only for people who buy Bridgette 8 Pro today and not for those of us who bought it earlier

    I think it's pretty clear by now that nobody at DAZ gives a rat's tucas that their marketing people's incredible laziness is burning over the people who bought B8 early.  Never mind that it's already cost them several hundred dollars in sales from me alone and will probably come back to bite them with a vengeance when the next figure drops after this burn...

    Yep -once I've eaten this evening I'm going to work out what I bought since Bridget, as I'm probably going to return nearly everything , and I'm not settling for store credit.

    oops again..this was a short one..now its Sydd and some others ... I think I'm done. emptied cart once again. not about to start over. 

    Did the pricing for the 50% off get fixed?

    You're talking about the Unique for Today 50% off with Newly Mad purchase, right? Just tested it, and it dropped a $3.99 PC+ item to $1.79. 50%, plus the 10% for the Key item. Ruby HD was the new release.

    Got my refund on everything I purchased with Bridget 8, and after seeing all the crap others besides me have gone through, I think I'm done with this sale. Let's see what April brings.

    Or maybe I'll just wait until the PA/PC+ sales later this year. Or not.

    March Madness is so turning me off the Daz store.

    New and PC+ items are not part of the DO sale and this has been corrected. Apologies for the confusion.

    shouldn't these links and what they are showing to the consumer be properly checked before going live?  Is it really Daz's intention to drive their loyal subscribers mad, is that the real intent of March Madness?  It has certainly become frustating to shop here with all the errors and "Oh sorry that's not what we meant, we really meant this"  excuses.  Your sales team should really be held accountable and be sure the sales work as intended prior to putting up the ads.  I too have emptied my cart several times because the prices were not what the ads insinuated, I feel for the PA's who must be losing revenue due to the poor ad copy for this sale.

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,918

    snooze you lose, I get it ... 
    So much that i tried to buy, or intended to,  but from one minute to the next stuff drops out of sale, one day to the next... so now I could have had brigette 8 for $34 now the lowest is 49.60 .. now I would never buy it unless its less than $34. ... then its back at a higher price. Once I see stuff for free or way discounted, there is no way I'm buying it for 50% off. Thats kind of getting into the stupid realm at that point. It is also overall bad sales gimmick on DAZ part, in my opinion ... Most of us are not rolling in the money where we can spend hundreds everyday just on a whim. 

    So its wait and see ... also what's bad, we all know wait and see will pay off sooner or later. 

    OK ... i whine too much on the DAZ sales and pricing. I won;t comment anymore. its pointless overall. nothing has changed in quite a long time.

    ...yeah about the only sales that I get any mileage out of any more of are the  PC+ sale, and the Holiday sale that follows in December (particularly those "PC+ For A Day" deals).

    They should be, but there hasn't been a single day during MM where there hasn't been at least one screw up like this.  At this point I'm beginning to wonder if sales actually forgot about MM and then had to throw something together at the last minute.  Or maybe half the DAZ staff got trampled by migrating deer... that seems to be a problem in Utah right now:  https://www.ksl.com/article/46507280/deer-migration-and-daylight-saving-time-bring-hazards-to-utah-drivers ;

    That's sort of what I did. It really felt like DAZ didn't really care about the early buyers of Bridgette 8 Pro. But I was still able to take advantage of the better prices you could get over the weekend. On Saturday I put everything from my original Bridgette 8 Pro order in my cart, then added 3 more items I could now get for free because of the lower price on the DOs, and also added the 'Related Items' I wanted and could get at a lower price with Bridgette 8 Pro in my cart. I was then able to get a full refund for my original Bridgette 8 Pro original order.

  • So the Z Plus Size Model Shape Preset and Poses for Genesis 8 Female that just got released and comes with a 40% March Madness deal does include the Plus Size Model Morph, but still requires the Genesis 8 Female Body Morphs product - which triples the price?
    That's a shame.

    That's a shame.

    That set of morphs is often at a discount that makes them very inexpensive; I picked them up for 3.99 on one such sale.

    I'm more excited for these flash sales compared to the actual March Madness.

    Doubles would be more accurate right now, as the product is a Newly Mad release that will trigger the 50% off on the Select DOs, of which the Morphs are included.

    There's unlikely to be a lot of people complaining - if you sort the store by most popular Daz Originals Genesis 8 Female products, those morphs are absolutely right up there. Nearly anyone using Genesis 8 will already have them, as  they're basically the default tool-kit for adjusting figure shape - along with the head morphs, I'd say they're almost certainly the most widely required pre-requisites for G8F figures. (Likely considerably more so than even Victoria 8).

    same here!!

    I picked the female head & body morphs, and the male body morphs up the other day for ~$6/each. I just wish the male head morphs had been included that day.

    My time is off because I just got off vacation and was back at work today. So when i got home decided to take a nap and was just now going thru the store for todays sales and had a cart with about 10 items in it and then the prices changed. I was like, what the... and released it was after 1am, DOH! LOL, oh well there's always another sale.

  • y3kmany3kman Posts: 853

    Oh, god damn it! Is DAZ time using DST now? I'm still buying stuff from the Mousso and Bluejaunte flash sale.

    Daz shopping is like digging for treasure... bargains. Usually, there are lots of misworded ad copy, screwy cart calculations, and misfiring trigger items. But, if you weed through it , you can find the deals. I picked up 2 g8 pro bundles and the Landon HD morphs for just under $50 today. I got a bunch of my wishlist g3 clothes for $2 each after coupon, and B8 with 3 extra hair items, and the HD morphs and the P3D morphs and the dforce curly hair for another $50. So yeah, it can be confusing and even a pain to shop here. But, you can find the deals if you dig. :)

    Well with all that stuff that seems to disappear from the store regularly the "there's always another sale" argument isn't as valid anymore.

    ...when my local Safeway puts something on sale, there are no "gimmicks", I get the items for the advertised discount. This is what builds customer loyalty, not sales which use incomprehensible mathematics or conditions that you need to buy this ts get a discount on that, but wait if you also buy this you get an even better discount..  Using a very expensive item (eg, a newly introduced pro bundle) as the key to release an extra minor discount kind of defeats the entire purpose when it costs more than the extra savings on items many want to purchase. 

    I am a veteran of MM sales, I remember when the discount was a flat 50% off with no gimmicks. I also remember coupons and vouchers that stacked with the base discount which no longer is the case.  

  • I have stayed away from the "convoluted" (very apt adjective!) MM promos, which is easier, granted, when you want G/G2/G3 rather than newer G8. All I have bought so far is a pose set I had wishlisted that was on Mad Artist, the Tulips, and several sets from the Platinummy promos.

    Platinummy is the best sales concept since PC+ For a Day, & for similar reasons -- it's simple, straightforward, a great value, & fun.

  • Stacking still happens. I got the 10% extra after the initial 58% off plus the extra 50% off with a newly mad item Landon HD morphs, which were 70% off for owning B8. . Floyd Pro was $23 after all of that. I can't say I totally understand Daz marketing or the bizarre cart mechanics. I'm just saying that there are good deals happening if you want to play the sale game. I certainly understand if you'd rather not have to.
