Heads up. If anyone is planning on buying this: https://www.daz3d.com/pc-gaming-essentials-set-bundle from today's new releases - DON'T.

Add the cheapest new release to your cart and go to https://www.daz3d.com/astral-artists#filter_vendor=Nominous&filter_file_formats=DUF&filtered=1 Nominous' store instead.

Add the three individual items to get 60% off them and it works out much cheaper, making the other NR free and still being cheaper than the bundle.

Odd that the bundle comes out 5 months after the individual parts were released. Now they qualify for additional discounts. Maybe someone didn't get the memo...

I think this is just a way to launch new products...

July is ending with a bang, but I don't hear a bang, more like a whimper.

So, anyone getting some good deals today or something that they really wanted is on sale?

Some time later that day they put up an orange banner which gave you 50% on five items, any, even new.

As the Bastian bundles gave you 90% on many items, and the item of the day another discount, you could push some hard bargains, eg G8 Pro Bundles were down to $2.
Or one could add the 3 utility items necessary for the 20%GC discount for just $14.

So overall it was a fantastic sale, if only I would have been still awake when I noticed it - and you could go in real big here.
So perhaps the best sale I more or less completely missed.
Spend just $21 (including 12.5 for the Outfit bundle) for a cart value of $650.

If they had only put up that banner in the morning...
Now I have DAZ fatigue.

That was the best sale in July, and the best part was that the discount code worked on new products, so much so that I completely forgot about the terrible "July Christmas " .

well there are some I do or parts but a lot there no scrolled through those arrows on that page and all the products shown there which are a few don't appear on the page when you click view all items link - BUT did a test and if click on add any of those items in that promo and cart them they do appear as $5.99 in cart and there's some good value choices there if anyone is interested that super hero bundle has a lot in it and many wouldn't afford that at shown price so bargin at $5.99 with the new releases today I already have all the content in it except one item though

edit also the Leanne 8.1 mega bundle mega savings there

Unfortunately I couldn't take advantage of that banner since it was before payday.

I think it should be https://www.daz3d.com/far-off-friends based on the little crib-sheet we have.

daveso · August 2

DAZ staff must be on vacation or something. Things wrong but no fix, even during the week on some stuff. It will be interesting to see what happens at midnight and tomorrow. Today has been the least sales type day I've srrn n a pretty long time, one promo, the new releases, and the PA stuff.

I did go ahead and get the Bastian 9 character bundle as my freebie. Also took advantage of the OS glitch to pick up more July OS items, including Ebenezer 8.1 and more of Petipet's Solaris SF series. Then noticed the Cerberus prop was 69¢ so grabbed it.

I wish Daz had kept the original Bastian deals since I was hoping to use them, but I have 5 tokens and my $10 coupon available.

For anyone Premier who was planning to use their character bundle coupon on Bastian, that item satisfies half of the buy-in for the August is Smokin 90% off up to 10 offer for PA items. You can get the bundle free and add a Smokin' New Release to trigger the 90% deal. Any member tier can also claim a completed Bastian bundle if you own the individual items, such that the bundle is free in cart; that frees the coupon code slot too for your monthly codes.

The 90% off is great, but you'll end up at mid-80'%s cart average due to floor price, unless you pick bundles and high-dollar items to compensate. My test cart was about 87% off with mostly $25 items, a cheap new, & a free-either-way Bastion bundle that I factored out of the cart math.

garrett_3d · August 2

I picked up the cows with my character coupon. First time I've seen anything that isn't G9 and I will probably actually use them, even if it's just for background prettiness.

Ron Knights · August 2

I'm convinced DAZ will no longer have any sales that appeal to me.

We're onto the second month where that is true.

And I won't have any "discretionary" funds till September.

Well nothing's changed in Quick Grab yet but it may still be "early" (even though it's 01:00 Utah Time) so I'll check when I get up later before declaring it deceased.

OK, Quxck Grab is apparently done for

miladyderyni_173d399f47 · August 4

Well, I got the Bastian stuff I wanted.

Other than that I am underwhelmed. Like everyone else, I'm still waiting for Daz to fix and update QG & OS. When the OS selection changed over, it had a number of my WL items, and I WL'd a couple more things that I felt were worth the $1-3. I expected the prices to settle like usual...but oh, well.

Not even the D+ freebies. I totally skipped the Feminine Shapes because I have enough of those & I can barely tell these 4 apart. Not from each other & not from any others. I will take flowers & even hallways over more skinny models.

I was going to drop back to D+ next week but I won't bother with either if they can't sort out QG/OS.

Thank you for reading my TED Rant.

the only reason i resubsctibed at all, but I went from Premier to DAZ+, was to get the half off OS and QG...and that has not worked since I renewed. Sorry for screwing it all up.

jmucchiello · August 4

The lack of transparency is the problem. I feel most sorry for the forum mods who seem to be as in the dark as the rest of us as currently they are the only face for these issues.

Note that the "Highway" promotion for 10% on GC combines with the 20% of the current promotion, for 28%. You also get 5, not 2, QG at 40% less with the "Highway" (If you have any QG left that you want, after four weeks).

daveso · August 6

I'm not sure I would use the GC the way the store is going. The sales not good with the buy-ins. Yeah, you can get savings, but the products needed to get them isn;t inexpensive, and it appears the only ones qualifying today is the Stonemason and the voxelize products. Dont need either. The highway one the only product i would use is $15.xx so to get 40% off hardly pays for that either. Less expensive just buying 5 QG items with thier current markdown.

Thank you for the information.

If you happen to want these new products, or want to stock up on gift cards, this is a great opportunity, but unfortunately it's not for me.

The lack of clarity on what's up with quickgrab / outlet is making me reluctant to bank too much credit. It's a weird feeling that no one's at the wheel and the store is on autopilot. :/

With some of the cheaper buy-ins reduced by 8 tokens, the 28% gift card discount effectively ranges from 10% to about 25% once you factor out the buy-ins, on a range of $100 up to $500 for the gift card. That's a decent offer especially at the higher end of the range and especially if you already want the buy-ins. If you don't giftcard-max you'll probably average about 20%

As I often say, even if the gift card + the buyin only yields a 1% savings, if you know you'll end up spending it, and you can afford to tie up your money in a gift card, it's worthwhile. (The tying up part is the main concern.)

daveso · August 6

70-80% off on some things right now with a $1 plus new item purchase. Let me know if you find a new item less than 2 bucks, or 4 even.. i do have 5 cool to have items and 1 DAZ+ for $20....using my $6 coupon and 2 tokens. 86% off total. the DAZ+ item is $4.19, the lowest I could find.

garrett_3d · August 6

Near $4 at the moment. https://www.daz3d.com/se-nekobimi-cafe

I don't have a particular use for it but the discount it gave on other items made it worth it.

ihad purchased it when it came out. bought something else I don't need. well, its in my cart. Haven't pulled out my card yet. thinking about just passing and waiting for the QG and Outlet to get fixed.

kpr · August 6

Used my D+ Coupon ($10) - and 7 tokens from my $40 monthly-splurge (at 87% off) yesterday - to add to the 70%-off Wrking 2gether Orange Banner to get 4 very long term items from my WL and the Lich Thing I've wanted for ages...

$103 of kit for $3 @ 97% off.

A nice lil treat
