    It's the old selection: when the store put in place the new selection, for some reasons, it didn't apply outlet pricing on the new outlet items but kept outlet pricing on the old ones.

    couldn't they just remove the non-discounted stuff so if PAs on sale, people could at least get that discount

    Rendo luckily doesn't run the kind of complex sales that DAZ does. If all your sales are just a straight percentage off, as pretty much all Rendo sales are, then opportunities for things to go wrong are vastly reduced.

    Fixed that for You.

    I would guess that quite a few people do prefer a simple, working sale with less % off to one that promises %%% off but isn't working as intended or needs a half workday to get fixed.

    Steam offers significant discounts and fixed promotional seasons. Each product's promotion has a countdown timer, so you don't have to guess whether the same promotion will happen tomorrow. Other stores also have countdowns.

    This place practices mysticism; all promotional periods, banner promotional code expiration dates, and website malfunction reasons are all left to "guess."

    I generally only buy at rendo if I have a coupon. And even then I do so extremely rarely. Prices are always too high there. I don't mind the crazy sale structures here... when they work. When they don't, I don't buy here, either.

    sooner or later all these errors and things taking weeks to fix will affect their customer base. If this store software is so complicated, it would seem to me a smart company would put something into play that isn't so complicated. Keep it simple stupid has always been sage advice. 
    as far as rendo being expensive, I dont see it that way. Overall, most new products here are over $10. Even pose packs are higher now. Some texture packs that are DAZ originals are in the $8 range. Yes, the discounts can bring things down, but they usually involve spending more cash to get them. The one thing rendo has, different types of products, which helps round out your collection.  
    anyway, its surely about time to get the store fixed.

    Yes. Should be restored to working order from backup and fixed offline.

    It does. Just spent some $400 otherwhere that might have ended up here - especially if the "End of July" coupon would have shown up a couple of hours earlier.

    Now there are some 70 items in the Outlet store that look interesting, but, well...       August is done with.

    ...as the only interesting item in today's new releases is the Liberty 570 Semi Bundle, I'd be hard presssed t find enough interesting items in the QG (even if it did finally update) for the savings to offset the initial cost.

    I agree with Turquiox on the deal,

    Feng's Judith is also interesting.

    Agree. Another (even better than the others) older character from @feng. Much kudos smiley

    Can the Dev team at least pin a message with an update? An ETA perhaps? A confirmation at least that the QG and OS are not going to change in TOS, that they are going to be fixed and will be the same terms as before regarding price structure? Because right now I am holding off on a getting a monthly membership until I find out what is going on. We are all in the blind and for all we know they could change the terms. And If the terms of OS and QG change that would affect whether I get a membership. It's really the most important part of the store to me and the most important reason to get a membership. I rarely use tokens, I rarely care about the monthly freebies, the bread and butter is the discount on the OS and QG.

    A very personal impression.

    Usually (!) base prices here are quite a bit higher here than there. The only difference is the sales. But only if they work. What they often don't do from the start and sometimes not at the end.

    Well, Quick Grab finally updated. Now if we could please get the Outlet Store prices to also update.

    Oh joyous day!  I have to admit I didn't believe my QG wish could come true on a Friday afternoon. I now have my first DAZ cart in a few days.

  • davesodaveso Posts: 8,239

    the Outlet prices that are high will discount in cart. For instance Xi transport show $13 andits $0.99 in cart. Unfortunately onle 1 item is in my need category from QG, and that's AM Rabbit. I was hoping that would show up as I bought add-on kits 3 and 4 when the QG renewed 3 weeks ago. So now, will is update on Monday or will we wait? Yeah, I'm always questioning and wondering laugh

  • Charlie JudgeCharlie Judge Posts: 13,625

    And now the Outlet store has changed items from those previousl shown The price of the new items has not updated to the OS price on the store page but the correct OS price is in the cart.

  • Looks like maybe the Outlet prices updated? But it also looks like they took out a lot of the good ones that had been sitting at full price. I guess they must've been added to the outlet store by accident? I had been hoping, since those were listed in the outlet store for August, they'd also stay included once the prices were fixed. Sadly it seems that is not the case. It's a little frustrating, since the inclusion of those items was the main reason why I was following the issues with the outlet store.

    Yeh, I had wishlisted quite a few waiting for them to get OS prices; but sadly they didn't. 

  • ElorElor Posts: 4,081

    I didn't check all of them, but it seems that PAs items are mostly from July and new outlets items are mostly Daz Originals.

    All prices showing correct for me $0.99 or $1.99. Shame there's nothing I want or need.

    From what I can see, those appear to be the same ones that were in Outlet last month.  Of course, I'm making that call based on the ones I don't already own, which is just 93 items, but the top rows and the items that were on the iffy list are the same.  It could be that they had to delete all the new items to undo whatever went wrong, and hopefully we'll see the new items return, but here we are at the weekend yet again, so I don't expect to see any motion for the next few days....

    Same here.

    That's frustrating.  I had half a dozen items from my wishlist I was waiting to see drop to OS prices, only for them to get replaced.

  • TorquinoxTorquinox Posts: 4,842

    There is a new selection in os and os priced. As Nightwolf noted, the wrong-priced items that looked interesting are gone. 

  • TorquinoxTorquinox Posts: 4,842

    I still had a fair number of WL items from the old selection and they no longer show up at os price points.

    Same. I have a few of last month's OS that are still showing up as OS (there's often some overlap between months, so not surprising) and quite a few WL items that are now OS that weren't.

    Of course, the issue is now how much I want them, even at current price points... a lot of stuff on my WL is just for ease of reference, or in case of WL-specific offers or needing to pad out an order.

    @SilverGirl Agree 100%

    Funny to first put the rabbit addons up, and then the rabbit itself later.  I've seen this with several other products, it would make more sense to put up the main product first.

    As I have been looking at products and using them (gasp!) I have been noting how often they reappear on the Outlet or Quick Grab stores. (I look at the Price History chart.) So I wishlist and bide my time. If they offer a new item for sale and the wishlisted item is available there, like today, I may get it for an even lower price before tokens. It depends on my level of patience versus my level of 'I really, really, want this'. 

    But I am frustrated that some of the items I also found in the group of items that were in the stucked mix over the past few weeks have disappeared. But there will be another sale. We have October to January coming up and if nothing shows up, March Madness.
