    That library is really nice. But I've never seen blank shelves in a library. They're always jammed full of books from top to bottom.  Otherwise, lovely set.  The problem with the bundle was reported four and a half hours ago. Still not fixed?

    It's 7:43 in Utah, I doubt they're working already. :D

    It was deemed not to be an emergency. They only get out of bed at silly-0-clock for real emergencies

    No, as it's a job for the QA team - so it will be sorted when theyre in the office.

    ***As a heads up.****  Its is less expensive to buy all the Auto Face Enhancer items individually in your cart at once then buying the bundle. Not sure if it is on purpose to trick someone into paying more or just how the daz relase deals work. I always hate when retailers do things like that. See images below.

    You're 4 hours late :) :

     

    For anyone who is interested: it is cheaper right now to buy the 3 products in this bundle sepparate than to buy the bundle.

    You did provide screenshots in addition to me though :).

    It is the silliest bundle I have ever seen. They could have at least applied a discount for it to be at same price, if not lower.

    There are empty rows at the top on some of the bookcases in the promos for the full library.

    Well once the intro discounts are over it will be more interesting to buy the bundle, but yes, right now it seems a bit weird...

    oh .i see them now. books very repetitive too, especially the rows and rows all tight and orderly. the sets. I know it would be extremely hard to make them all different, but. suppose for background shots all good.

    Yes, once the intro offers are gone, maybe with a decent discount on the bundle itself it will make sense.

    I just don't get why they didn't introduce it at a more convenient discount or not introduce it at all now. Introduce it later, once the offer on these items is gone.

    These blink sales drive me crazy. I quickly put a couple of things in the cart and checked out because I had no idea when it would end. Someone please tell marketing that they are losing sales. I would have bought more if I had time to look over more promos and didn't feel the urgency to check out quickly before the sale was over. I ended up getting a couple of things I can use right now but if I had more time, I would have probably purchased more.

    I bet if they put down the exact time the sale ended with a countdown clock, people would buy a lot more. Daz please hire me in your market department lol...

    I think in this case it's just an unusual case where one item in a bundle was released long enough ago that it is eligible for different discounts. Bundle sales logic should apply evenly in the future, not sure they have a good way to handle this now.

    I don't think you get it, that's exactly what their marketing wants you to do. Short sales, no times mentioned, it's all to entice you to buy immediately. If you had more time to think, you might reconsider, get distracted, have to leave somewhere and not complete your purchase. Having been here just over a year now, their system works well, too well for my funds.

    @ArtAngel, It looks like someone messed up when creating the above banner image. I'm pretty sure the illegible small print in the bottom left corner is the typical disclaimer that New Releases and PC+ Items do not quality for the Blink Sale discounts.

    Also, the mods pay attention to this thread and posting here usually gets their attention a lot faster than in the Alerts thread.

    For me, it's just the opposite. I'm more likely to buy when I know what the deadline is. I often load my cart with stuff I'm still on the fence about throughout the day, and then let it go until about 10 minutes before Daz midnight at which point I know it's about to change over, and then I end up looking through it, maybe culling out a thing or two, and end up buying the rest because there is a clear deadline and I'm not sure when those items will be on sale again at that decent price. With the blink sales, I would buy a lot more if I knew exactly how much time I had to buy things with a countdown clock ticking away. A deadline motivates me! It's good I checked out right away with the Smay/NikkiStasez sale because if I had waited to look through more promos, the sale would have ended and I would have dumped my cart. When there's no deadline, I buy less because I want to hurry up and check out with one or two items in case the sale is about to end.

    So how would I get 10% off by buying a new release (in the big print), if they are excuded in the fine print?

    It means new releases (and PC+) items are excluded from getting the 60% discount. But they can still be used to trigger the extra 10% on the discounted items

    Thanks. that's what I thought. So why can;t I get 10% off when adding a new release? I know I can buy and contact support but theye have a hard enough job. It would be nice if the offer simply worked.

    What is in your cart? It is working for me. Hopefully you realize that the extra 10% is not additive and results in a net discount of 64%

    The extra % of worked for me with the new PC+ plaster shaders in the cart. That was a few hours ago. Guess it's too late now but it was working as I expected. *Edit, current offer works for me too with a new PC+ item in the cart.

    @ArtAngel, I didn't mean to ignore you. I left the room to go exercise and got caught up in a movie. (And then another.)

    I see your question was answered though. (I love this forum.)

    I have to agree with her on this one. I buy less. I zip through and don't spend as much time looking at each product, some don't even get opened to see the promos. And I don't have time to surf the threads to see if the Blink sale is mentioned and at what time- because that may not be when they started.

    I'm buying much less in general these days. I have so much already and I was shocked and disappointed by the quality of the products Dain Pro Bundle, like everyone else. If that represents the quality of clothing and characters going forward, I'm done. I didn't get Leroy, because I felt burned by Dain. If I hadn't gotten so much free stuff with the Dain bundle, it would have gone back immediately. I haven't seen any updates to fix any of the issues either. With a LOT OF WORK, I was able to use the Bouncer outfit and posted an image over in the Dain thread. It should NOT have been that hard to make it useable.

    The only reason I bought the last two Pro bundles WAS for the freebies and the discount. Effectively, I was able to get items I wanted at a price I was prepared to pay, and got Dain and Leroy as freebies!

    I got both pro bundles but more for the stuff that came with it. For Dain I really wanted Dain as well. I didn't even install the clothes from that bundle, I am waiting/hoping for a fix.

    I am though buying less and less after Leroy because my store credit is close to finishing and I don't want to pay full price for stuff instead of with store credit that I got at a discount with a gift card.

    I am now thinking that at least in my case Daz are loosing money but not selling Gift cards at decent discounts (like some people got 35-49% after early buying Dain).

    I mean there's at least content worth $100 that I didn't buy because my store credit could not have supported that. Granted, that would have meant around $60 or so after gift card discount but that is $60 more.

    And going forward it will be more and more until I see a gift card offer I like as at the moment I don't really need anything, I just want some stuff because they are cool and think I could use them.

    I buy very few "Pro" Bundles anymore, for that reason.  They have become simply collections of junk with a character thrown in.

    If I like the base figure I will W/L it and buy it and the cuople of items in the bundle that might appeal to me when the price is right.  The only time I buy one if there is a promo where I can get other worthwhile items for free to offset the price, or if it is below $20, because that is what one is generally worth to me...

    Daz, the "One Day Only Mega Fastgrab" would work better if you plug it in. I put Carlos Miguel and some stuff from the featured items sale into my cart as an experiment, and the latter stayed at 50% instead of going to 70%.

    I've emptied it, but I think it was Xenodreki, Heavenly Bodies and two of the HDRI sets. Is it supposed to be only one item from the Featured Products?
