    Totally did a double take with that nice list today, wow! https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-wise-monk-hd-for-genesis-9 is one of those items that was on my WL because it was just so stinkin' pretty, but I couldn't ever justify getting because I really don't storytell in that genre at all.

    ...so now I still am not sure what I'm going to do with it, but now I /have/ it, and who knows. Anything can go at a costume ball, after all, and pretty much the same at Renaissance Faires, so maybe I can get it in there somewhere.

    And I got it even though I'm not using G9...because I am a freebie junkie ;)

    I bought it on release because it looked awesome (so no "nice list gift" for me today). It's a great set.

    Are we ever going to get an actual Daz+ sale? I saw Space Elsa in the featured artists, thought I might actually be able to get a discount on some of the SE Daz+ items I've had in my wishlist forever. Nope, of course they are not part of the sale. It seems like its been forever since we've had a sale on actual Daz+ items.

    "Beauty from the East" offer seems like one of the worst in recent memory. A selection of things that mostly cost $20 or less (with the highest being a little under $30). Why would I see $5 (which can't get any further discount from tokens or punches or anything) as a good deal? There's an item in the selection that has a base price of $2, and with just my 40% discount from punches goes down to $1.20.....how is charging me $5 for that a discount?

    The "Holiday Deja Vu" offer doesn't seem that enticing either. 30% off (with a $4 cap on how low the price can fall) BUT I have to buy a whole bundle just to get the offer?

    Glad you said something, it slipped my mind I had enough punches to get it free. (Note: it only shows as free in the cart page, not the dropdown.) I somehow missed this when it came out.

    There was actually a wishlist sale at Dec. 8 that included DAZ+ items where I got some about 50-60% off, though I'm not sure if it was intended.  Could happen again.  It was mentioned here, first post:

    Yeah, same here! I got the Hexenblade earlier (i.e. not through the nice list), but I couldn't justify the monk outfit for anything, so it's been sitting on my wishlist. Not anymore! And I'll have to do at least one render with it.

    I felt extremely disappointed, like I'd been fooled on April Fool's Day.

    I've decided to buy some Eastern-themed items to console myself and finish today's Punch Cards.

    The textures look very old, but I just can't resist these exquisite Showa-era models, and I think I'll find a way to use them.

    The Premier exclusive character for Carter was called Clark, they probably copied the blurb from Carter promo page and forgot to edit it.

    I'm getting some good deals today. Really wondering about Jaewon 9 though. His character bundle is in Premier free stack now, but I don't like him overall. My only other choice is Valenia CB, which I'm not liking too much either. There is that free coupon though. I guess I could wait until later in month to see if anything else pops up.  

    Not the first time I've stated this, but more and more I realize my purchasing here needs to end, as I can't use even 10% of the stuff I've purchased before I die, so really don;t need anything else. The more I use DS the less I like it actually. Its too bad this revelation has happened so late in this trek. 

    Anyway, my plan right now is to take advantage of the coupons and tokens I have, do a last major purchasing deal, and when my Premier ends on 31 December, let that be the end. 

    So taday, with the Jaewon Add-on bundle, my DO coupon, and 8 tokens, 40% off with pumchcard discount, and what might be 30% off PA items, I'm getting some pretty good deal, at 90% + off. For instance Julian 9 HD Character Bundle $99.99

    for $2.29

    Really less than impressed by today's sale.  Lot of old stuff in the first set of sales, most of which would actually be cheaper in my cart with my tokens and other discounts if they weren't automatically shifting to $4.99, so... pass.  Meanwhile,. the Holiday DAZ deal is a texture set for an item released three weeks ago that's no longer even on sale, the advent calender stuff is more ancient stuff, there are only 4 debut new items that can trigger the Save On Bundles discount, two of which are texture sets, while the Jaewon bundles themselves continue the recent trend of fewer and cheaper items each time with the most galing part being that interesting item in the selection in the Jaewon Add-On bundle, the temple grounds, is actually marked as being being a PC+ item, but is instead being discounted at the non-PC+ Daz Original sale price.  

    Meanwhile, I went to Rendo and in two got my usual daily 4 full store products for free in their advent calendar promotions by clicking four buttons...

    addicted is fact. I sometimes like playing cart jenga, especially when the end result is huge savings and so much stuff I won't use. You all have seen my signature laugh

    They really do a fabulous job of gamifying the shopping experience, for folks who like bargain hunting. The assets themselves are fun to make art with, too. :)

    I'll admit I don't make art daily, but I do check the shop daily.

     

    Unrelated: I'm 2/9 on Nice List gifts not already purchased. Santa needs to get a bit trendier!

    ...okay, so today's Nice List was on my WL, so definitely not complaining that I got it for free.

    But I do have to giggle that we've had fantastic, highly detailed G9 outfits on multiple occasions, and today's item is so old it's pre-Iray and has a lower SKU (by more than half) than anything I've gotten freebie on my advent calendar.

    Also being gifted barbed wire for being 'nice' is just stinking funny.

    I had already purchased the barb wire fence

    also I wanted BOTH my gifts, ended up getting the 2.99 one but still have mixed feelings about not grabbing the free one and a 1.99 item from outlet instead  to keep my 3 punches 

    the thing is 88% off is still less than the Outlet items generally are

    I too see this as a game

    I already have barbed wire too. Today's prices are good; Featured Artist Stores items are over 88% off.

    (Premier item plus three Punch items, three new items, and eight Tokens)

    The things I urgently need are all on sale, but unfortunately I'm out of coupons, and there are some bugs in the new item discount. I need some more time to weigh things.

    So far I have owned every 'NICE' item. And so far the free advent calendar item is consistently something I wouldn't even bother looking at. 

    But https://www.daz3d.com/icewick-the-snowman-for-genesis-9 is just a sweetheart and in my cart.

    I'm the opposite, for 12 days now I've been getting advent calendar items straight from my wishlist (but I also did everything to make sure it happens), I didn't own anything on the nice list, and while I like the looks of Icewick, I can't conjure anything I could render him in. 

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,771

    I spent a whopping $37.55 yesterday and got $488 worth of product. 16 items including 2 bundles, both G9. I think it was a good day.

    Today was the first day that one of the Advent offerings was not off my wishlist. The freebie was, but the paid option was not. It was decent - a G9 figure - but it is a sign that I should go add some more applicable things to my wishlist.

     I admit I giggled looking through the promos... he's so well done, but I'd never thought of a snowman as having a butt. No reason they shouldn't! But for some reason it cracked me up.

    While I was hesitating, I forgot that I should buy one item every day. Today I have two punch cards. If I buy something today, how many punch cards will I have tomorrow?

    Still two. The number of punches corresponds to the number of days you're made qualifying purchases in the past 3 days.

    I understand. It seems I probably won't get the discount I want in the next few days. This promotion is really too luck-based. Thanks for your reply.
