    The 60 cent prices were an error that was corrected a couple of hours after the store reset. But there are 99 cent items in the Outlet Store if you're a Daz Plus member.

    I love the outlet store!!  I guess I am wondering how do I find good deals.

    Here are some examples in my cart.  I want those 60 Cent deals!!  How do I get alerted to those type of sales?

    I never get alerted to any sales by Daz.

    Ok, I did have it installed, however it shows I will need to pay $5 per month for emails.  Perhaps I should do that!!

    Yes, there is a free basic version but only the paid Pro version sends the emails. This helps the developers pay for the server costs

    If you can manage: A year costs $50, saving you $10.

    Several of us have made extensive arguments to the developer of the Daz Deals script that the 60 cent pricing mistakes on the 14th May should be removed from their server's database. It was a one-off error that was only available for a very short time and which Daz are not going to deliberately repeat on most of these products (at least not for a very long time). While it is *factual* information that these products could be briefly bought for that price, it is *unhelpful* information when actually trying to make informed decisions about purchasing. (Particularly as it will until May next year prevent their add-on sending out "lowest price in the last year" notifications on any product that was affected by the error). However, they have thus far declined to do so.

    I would not count on any of these products being available that cheap again any time soon, and even if Daz *do* make a similar mistake again, the chance of being able to capitalise on it before it's corrected is fairly small.

    Also, even though I personally was awake at the time to have purchased, I found it unconscionable to do so at what was clearly not intended as a fair price for the vendor's work (the sale was clearly marked as 60% off, and the error was setting all products to $0.60 instead). At that point, I would have found it barely more ethical than straight up pirating it.

    Oh, my goodess!  I didn't know that it was a storewide error!!  No, I don't want that!!

    That is downright stealing...IMO!!!

    Goodness!!!  

    Now I feel terrible asking about it!  But, I didn't know.

    And, indeed, you couldn't be expected to know unless you happened to visit the forum at the time to catch the discussion about it. And that's one reason of why I personally think it's unhelpful and misinformative to leave that error in the database.

    (I could absolutely understand if the argument were that it's technically problematic to remove it, as a lot of programming is like a house of cards where everything suddenly collapses if you try to change something, but people kept arguing in favour of it being factually correct to leave in).

    However, while you say $0.60c is stealing, it's actually not far off the outlet store price of $0.80c if you're a DAZ+ or Premium member. The $1.99 each drops to $8 for five, and then if you're a DAZ+ member, that's halved to $4, or $0.80c each, just $0.20c off the error price.

    Regards,

    Richard

    60 cents is actually a lot for many of the older D+ items, especially during a D+ sale events; and a lot more than they've been in previous years.

    If daz screw up its not really the consumers responsibility to work it out; people don't always realise its a mistake, so the accusation of theft seems a little unfair.

    I concur. Changing the definitions of words can net more harm than good.

    In good faith when people see a price on an item in any store, take it to the cash and if it goes through for that price or less, everything is okay. Over the years the company used to let such matters slide however there was one time when no they didn't -- for "some" [read "not all"] who received a free item from RawArt's store in what turned out to be a site glitch, they pulled the item from our accounts and told us that we had to pay for it to keep it. And then seemed to be overly pleased with themselves to be keeping his store on 50% off for some extra days for some logic that escapes me.

    In the Outlet store, the products that are being sold for 80 cents are genuinely being advertised for 80 cents, and they're all products that are at least eight years old, you have to buy several at once, and need to be a member of the store loyalty scheme.

    For the pricing error, the products being sold for 60 cents were being advertised at 60% off (with 60 cents actually often being the equivalent of 97% or more off) and were as recent as four and a half months old, and had no additional sale requirements.

    You cannot reasonably be portraying these as equivalent. In one case, it is the advertised price and comes with several caveats. In the other, it absolutely was not.

    Yes, these things *might* one day legitimately reach prices like that. For most of them, it will not be soon.

    That also goes for this. Older items selling for the price they are being advertised at is not a valid equivalent.
