    A few things I want to say:

    1. Does anyone else that got the purple banner feel like it's really not worth it because we get a 20% for whole order coupon code today and we can't use both coupon codes.

    2. If I were to buy the Eastern Culture bundle but I already own 3 of the characters and 2 of the hairs (since I bought their respective pro bundles) would I get a refund of any sort for the stuff I already own? Would be lovely if someone official could confirm that one way or the other.

    3. Anyone else being tempted to buy Leroy pro bundle again? Especially now with the 20% discount I feel like it's worth it, even if I already own him, just for all the free stuff that goes with him.

    I got 30% off for the eastern bundle but I own half of it and the poses and outfit that I don't have is not so interesting for me. I don't have Lee8 and Mei Lin8 but I prefer Mei Lin7 over her G8 incarnation anyway and already converted her successfully over to G8. If I wanted Lee8 I'd buy the figure alone.

    I already bought everything from the Leroy and Dain bundles I found interesting. There were some good and interesting stuff. I don't need additional characters and hairs currently, so buying pro bundles usually don't pay off. I don't own many pro bundles so didn't get offers for the Dain and Leroy bundles.

    Generally I feel as I bought a lot of stuff during the major sales last year my library reached a point where I can do a lot with what I currently own. I've become quite selective regarding stuff I buy especially at release.

    You can use the 20% discount to buy a gift card and use that gift card to buy the bundle. Of course, that means you cannot use store credit for that.

    So I could buy it at a lower price but not at lwoer price:) typo in the https://www.daz3d.com/eastern-culture-bundle-staff-picks

    (This offer cannot be used to buy an item already owned at a lwoer price.)

  • 1. Does anyone else that got the purple banner feel like it's really not worth it because we get a 20% for whole order coupon code today and we can't use both coupon codes.

    I own all but three of the Eastern Culture bundle items.  Even at 70% off the bundle the price of the three items I'm not paticularly interested in is about $8 each ($24 total) . So, not really worth it to me but it could be a really great deal for those who don't own much of the bundle.

  • I own all but one of the Eastern Culture bundle Items and at 80% off the price was almost twice that of the single unowned item

  • Does anybody know if the 20% off LIVIN-THE-PC coupon is single or multiple use?

    Yep, it's a terribly set up offer, and there was no need for it as the store could have just as easily automatically applied the discount.  However, what makes it even worse is the fact that they did the exact same thing the last time they ran one of "Staff Picks" bundle offers. Clearly they didn't take notes on all the complaints back then... if they were even aware of them, given that I've seen no evidence that anyone in DAZ marketing ever actually reads the forums given that they keep cut and pasting the same unpopular decisions and store screw ups over and over again.

    Who is eligible for this coupon?  Was it a purpe banner or am I just not seeing it?

    It's for PC members, in the "today only" section at the top of today's sale page

    It is for all PC+ members. It is a "Today Only" offer on the "Eastern Culture Bundle" sale page: https://www.daz3d.com/eastern-culture-bundle-staff-picks

    Pretty much the same here, all butttwo of the thirteen, lose money even with the 80% discount. Add in the fact that you lose the ability to use the other coupon and it's the usual "thank for being a regular customer slap in the face."  Sucks for today's PAs though, as I simply won't be buying anything from today's promotion and will be stacking the 20% cart discount on one of the other sales.

    i'm wondering, too.  :)

  • The new coupons/promotions seem to break other discounts. Stuff from i.e. Elianeck should be discounted at least 50% plus the 20% for the living-the-pc coupon. Instead they show only 36% total.

  • KharmaKharma Posts: 3,214

    Thanks Charlie and Leanna, guess it pays to read the whole page :)

    Appears to be multi-use. Usable at least twice.

    Streets of Asia 4 doesn't seem to be in the list of items valid for that coupon: https://www.daz3d.com/related-items - not sure why, but that will be why it's not discounting for you.

    They must have removed it, because I added it to my cart from the selection of items from the banner.

    Did you alredy use the 60% off Flash sale? Her items are in it at 60% off and the LIVIN-THE-PC coupon works on them to give a net 68% off.

    It might be because it's part of the Staff Picks bundle.

    I'll live. It's not as if there weren't plenty of other SM sets for me to choose from.

    Does anyone else think the Daz marketing people like to spite us?

    I mean the coupon codes every hour is very nice and inovative but from all the days, they choose to do it today, when we already have a very nice coupon available.

    Any other day and they would have been appreciated a lot more.

    Just as today, any flash sale that would have stacked with the 20% coupon would have been very nice.

    "This offer cannot be used to buy an item already owned at a lwoer price"...(typo power wink)

     

    Regarding the purple banner, it's indeed too bad that it's a coupon so you can't combine it with the "20% off your order" coupon.

    I think they mean more in the sense you can't refund the previously bought item to buy it now at a lower price.

    I don't think they mind if I buy it a second time.

    I didn't realize you meant buy it twice... Though depending on how the check on previously owned item is done, the coupon may be unusable for the second purchase.

    I already own Leroy from the first day of it's sale. I would buy it once with the coupon now. I have already added it to the cart with all the other items related to the offer. It would cost around $52 to buy everything I selected according to the offer (with the purple banner on). From that $52 32 would be the leroy bundle for a second time. But still $52 for 2 pro bundles + 3 new Leroy items + items worth $120 from the 4 categories sounds like a good deal. I'm wondering if anyone else thinks so or the advice would be to wait for future offers to get the rest of the bundles and items as I don't really need any of it right now.

    My advice would be to wait, as you "don't really need any of it right now." We may not see offers this good in the future, for buying pro bundles, but I've seen pro bundles heavily discounted in the end-of--the-year sales "trifecta". Daz Originals frequently discount as low as 80%, and all the products you can get for free with the Leroy offer are Daz Originals.

    Plus you have no way of knowing what new releases will hit the store in the near future that will have you wishing you still had that $52. If you start hanging out in the Daz PA Commercial Products forums, you'll get a pretty good idea of what some of the PAs are working on. I know I have Store Credit earmarked for more than a few items that are only WIPs at this point.

    That's my 2¢, anyway.

    @L'Adair Thank you for the input. I bought the Dain8 bundle because I really wanted the Dain8 skin and one of the pro bundles for my current project and the offer was good in general. Although I have not installed any of the clothes items (hoping they fix those)

    I got Leroy8 because I really liked him and will use him in my project, together with a few of the items I got from the offer.

    A third time around, are just items I like but indeed not really need anymore as I have already used the offer twice to trim the categories for anything I would need to use in the near future.

    I feel like I'm caught in a trap where I constantly look for good deals and feel very tempted to buy stuff, without needing it. My store credit is getting low though, only a little over $80 now.

    I should maybe try to stretch it out until a good gift card offer arises.

    It's ironic how I made the opposite of the right decision on dain and leroy. On dain I thought I will wait, to maybe combine with a better offer and no better offer existed and the early buyers got rewarded. on Leroy i thought I will get him at first in case I get rewarded for that and also because I thought that since the offer is already good, Daz will make sure they don't combine it with anything else and here it is: 20% off the oreder to combine with Leroy 8. I would recommend for anyone that doesn't have him and has the purple banner to get it. I mean 3 pro bundles(one of which is brand new and will not get reduced to soon), 3 new items and a lot of other stuff for around $50 sounds like a bargain not to be missed.
