    ...I checked the store after it changed over for today (Sunday) and all the base percentages for the 2025 items sale were still 51%  (which is basically "30% + 30%) even though my Gold Star was now active.. The part about the 45% off for having a Gold Star to me said the final discount would be "30% + 45%" (or the other way around) which as I mentioned in Daz Math comes to 61.5% (rounded up to 62%). That would have brought the price down to 19.25 USD before applying the coupon.  (using even one token wold have brought it below the 18.00 USD minimum).  

    As a test, I put the item (St. Patrick's Cathedral Interior) in my cart again and the final discount came to 55% (30% + 30% +10%) as you mentioned.  So I don't know what they were on about with that "45% off" for having a Gold Star, awfully confusing.

    Had I waited until after the store changed over it would have only cost  one less token than I used and saved me a whole whopping 29¢.

    Daz needs better copywriters and I need a refresher course in abstract mathematics.

  • Yesterday was, surprisingly, good for me. As planned, I had grabbed another small 20% off GC & used it & my $10/$25 coupon to buy 5 older items off my WL, from https://www.daz3d.com/corgi-for-daz-dog-8 to https://www.daz3d.com/oso-mosasaur-for-daz-dragon-3.

    I had wishlisted 3Diva's https://www.daz3d.com/easy-filatoon in case there was a good WL sale that allowed New Releases. I noticed it was half off & went even lower in my cart. Plus I had 3 tokens from the earlier purchase, so I got a New item for almost 70% off!

    I guess I'm just not feeling spendy now. I'm not drawn in here or on other sites. surprise

    Is it really 48h (until Monday) or did they forget to change the banner? If so, can I expect the same items to be on sale tomorrow?

    I would guess until the end of Monday given that's the last day of March, but it's not like "final" necessarily means anything around here. Same items may or may not be on sale. Only Daz knows.

    April 1 (April Fools Day) is another sale opportunity.

    Maybe they'll offer a sale with omitted purchase requirements, coupons that don't work, carousels that don't match the actual sale items, items in sales categories that aren't really on sale. Then, after enough complaints, and working Cris to the bone with submitting reports, they'll change the sale page to just say April Fools!.
    Oh, except for that last part, that is every day's sale, though. devil

    I remember, last April Fool's, they were selling a banana suit for $999.99 laugh

    Nah. It's the one day it'll all be working flawlessly, just to psych us all out.

    I cannot complain about the sale as there were some nice discounts even as a base member

    I just lack the funds and the exchange rate is terrible and likely to get much worse sadly

    just grabbed a few more very cheap V4 hairs 1.90@

    I never can have too many hairs and use them on any figure including G9 

    simply by changing the Pivot point and parenting to the head

  • SilverGirlSilverGirl Posts: 2,899

    Oh shock. We've changed from "final X hours" to "extended to some point unspecified."

    Whoever could possibly have seen that one coming.

    What a deal! Corridors for only $13 each, or a bundle for $35. Not like Daz has ever offered free brand new corridors as a members perk.

    I'll predict that the sale will run through this coming weekend, that there will be a magnificent catch-all catch-up component, and that I will buy some stuff. Then, maybe next Monday or so, something new will start. I would be fine with that! YMMV. I have no special information. I could be wrong, We shall see!

  • The last 2 or 3 days, I've gotten several G9 characters or character bundles in LD, for very little. Mira & Genghis character bundles for about $9, when I had Gold Star, & right now (no Gold Star) Walter HD figure for $13. Unfortunately, for Daz at least, I'm not at all interested in them. But I am just SO done with MM right now, I doubt I'd bite if a WL item showed up in my LD.

    The good news is that Easy Filatoon has gotten me enthusiastic about creating art again.

    Yay for enthusiasm!

    I spent a possibly absurd amount of time decorating my newly-installed harvest gold fridge with magnets. :) (Of course, since there aren't really magnet packs in the store, this is me drastically shrinking props I already have that I think would be amusing as magnets, then just parenting them to the freezer door. There's a lot of food magnets up there LOL.)

    And I'm glad for all the people who are having good fortune with the sale... It would just be nice if we could move on so those of us it *isn't* working for might have a shot at some decent deals.

    I never understand people whining about a sale going on too long

    then they are all shocked Pikachu faced when it finally ends and the store prices are back to normal

    I only EVER complain if there is either nothing I want to buy or if what I bought turns out to have issues

    nobody makes me buy anything

    and some things no sale no matter how cheap, I will never buy

    on rare occassions, there is something so wanted, I will pay full price for it however since digital playthings are wants not needs it usually has to have 30% new discount at the very least

    I'm glad for the extension as a character I'd been waiting weeks for arrived.

  • Picked up A Thousand Islands today. What a steal!

    I have to admit that it's a little too saucy for me, but maybe that's just because my salad days are behind me.

  • rokkrrokkr Posts: 342

    I doubt that those surprise sale extensions are a smart move. For instance, if I knew there would be an extension today, I'd have bought anything yesterday just to get a Gold Star and then would have bought something today. Since I didn't, I'd buy nothing.

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,857

    ...Picked up Stonemason's  Private Library at 70% off yesterday so got another gold star and with the sale continuing may as well get a few more today though both the Under Bridge Hiding Ground and Aeon Hall are tempting at 50% off.

    I'm glad that the Daz+ flash sale has been extended. I keep adding new Daz+ products to my wishlist on a regular basis and this is going to help me buy a good amount of Daz+ wishlisted goodies. :)

    What a silly way to run a sale. Claim it is 4 hours long, hours but put the ending time many hours after that. Then change the ending time to be 4 hours. Then after 4 hours, claim that the sale is extended, and change the ending time back to the originally posted end time.
    Aren't you tired of being toyed with by Daz, with all the "deadlines" that get "extended"? We have at least two of those going on right now: MM and Daz+ Flash.

     At this point, as soon as that happens I make a conscious decision to not buy anything. Which probably doesn't send much of a message since I'm not a big spender anyway, but at least I don't feel like I'm rewarding something that bothers me.

    Hmm, Character and add-on bundles are getting smaller but no lower price.  Only 4 items each in the Chloe 6 Character Bundle and Addon Bundle but the price seems about the same as the Willow bundles we got a little while ago.

    Any idea who Chloe 9 is based on?

    Tried posting a topic but kept getting an error.

    Yeah, I noticed that, too.  It's turned into one of those things like buying potato chips and there's more and more air in the bag, but the price doesn't go down.  Less for the same amount.

    I noticed that. It's more like what I call "mini bundles," with a character, clothing set, & either a clothing texture add-on or hair. Except those are much cheaper. If that's the New Normal for character bundles, I will probably get just older ones months I do Premier, unless I really, really want the newest character.

    Wasn't planning on getting Chloe anyway. No particular reason, I just have enough of that type character & nothing else in the bundle interests me.

    *****

    Related: Thimor 9 & Freja 9 are now in the Premier selection. I might pick one of them for my freebie,but not going to decide until the end of the month. Unless there's another expanded selection promo before then. :)
