Arguably the PAs support the male figures more/better than DAZ, so I could see a relase this month folloewd by PA releases for M7. Or near the end -- have a catchup sale plus an M7 reelase with new PA related items.
i put 3 things in my cart, but theys doesn't go down to 50%.
was it for last year only?
The normal Daz sale approach is to sell you new content at little or no discount in order to trigger deeper discounts on older content. This sale has the advantage of offering you the same discount (and not a bad one if you can rev up to 64%) on new and old content. Sure, I'm not wild about the "buy something every day or lose your discount" thing, but actually it's quite a generous sale once you work it out.
This year's sale is different. Everything is 40% off, with an extra 10% for each New Item you've bought - up to an additional 40%.
So the items in your cart are correct at 40% off.
Very. Good. Point.
For me the big advantage of this sale is that you can get brand new items for over 60% off. Which is a very good discount on some pretty neat stuff so far (and likely more great stuff to come). Older content you can certainly get at higher discounts if you are waiting and pouncing on the right flash sale.

Not to mention if you have the 4 Revs, getting that discount and plus the ability to use PC/PC+ codes (if you buy $18 worth in the discounted stores, then get another $6 off if it's not new) can be a nice. Top that with the 12% (or whatever) gift card discount you got, and these are deals. But yes, there will always be other ones. But devils advocate- vendors come and go so you aren't guaranteed the product/vendor will be here. And products do get pulled by vendors. Fortunately, I got all of Ken's and Lisa's at the prices offered here, and not the higher prices now listed elsewhere. After one of my wishlist items got pulled, I don't wait if I am getting 60% or more off.
Buy one of the first two and that will earn a Rev, then buy the other two and you will get an extra 10% off the sale price (so 46% off all together) - or buy them tomorrow and they will earn a second Rev, 52% off in total.
The sale really only benefit those interested in new releases. I'm somewhat disappointed the benefit I got from owning Scott and Karen expired before I could use it on a male release today. I like some of the female releases but I can wishlist them. I can wait for them to be discounted more without the strings attached. Knowing others are getting them cheaper playing the rev game doesn't encourage me to pay more for stuff now.
i like the old way, 3 for 50% seems better to me.
IMO, the discount from owning those bundles shouldn't be expirable. I think they should've done it where once you bought something, THEN the REV kicked in and the expiration could start. That way all the Pro Bundle owners DID get rewarded for buying the bundles. This way, you had to buy something to benefit from it.
Whether it's snowballs or rev-ups, they will never be better or more staisfying to me than a straight-up great deal. Anyone remember the days of getting vouchers if the college team won? Ahhh the good old days.
I really don't much care for this sale, and as such I am not actively participating in it. The concept of having to buy 1 new item each day or lose discounts bothers me. (if it was one every 3 day, maybre it wouldn't bother me as much), but more importantly, it is the limited selection (one of six or so items), combined with a you only get one rev per day (thus if there is actually more than one thing you want, you are better to wait), combined with the you don't know what tomorrow will bring... In the long run, it doesn't look that benifical to me, but that is just my opinion, and others will have different ones. I can wait for the next sale, there is always a next sale. Of course it doesn't help that I just had to blow up my bank account and budget to purchase a new car... So not a lot of extra money until the next payday on the 11th.
Basically, if it isn't worth it to you, or you don't want the items, don't buy them. There will be more sales at somepoint.
I do not make micro-purchaes every few days like some people seem to. I make 1-3 purchases a month, depending on how big each one is. I put multiple items in my cart and then buy them all at once. So any sale that needs me to do smaller purchases every day is not going to attract me.
As for 'you have to buy A to get B' sales -- I only partake if both A and B are something I want. If not, then I will wait for B to go on sale separately, or if I really need it, I will just buy it at full price. Unless the cost of A+B combined is LESS than the cost of B alone... then if I have to have B right now for some reason (which is almost never true), I might do it. Mostly I just wait patiently until a sale on B comes along.
But then... I don't pay any attention to sales in bricks-and-mortar stores either. I go in with a shopping list and mostly buy what I want. I may, perhaps, see that one of the things I want is on sale and buy two or three of them, but other than that, I am mostly immune to sales. I'm not convinced it has cost me more money than if I had been a fervent coupon clipper... In my experience, sales-oriented people end up buying tons of stuff they don't need just because it is 'on sale' and often the thing comes back on sale again before you would have used the 2nd or 3rd copy of it anyway.
Same thing applies here. If what I want is not on sale it goes into the wish list and I just check back every so often until it is discounted. Then I will grab it and several other equally discounted things on my WL, apply a coupon if possible, and usually make out like a bandit. ;)
Except that the items are around three days, so if you see more than one thing you like on any given day, you can string that out three days and buy one thing each day. So your statement about a limited selection (of six, per your example) isn't quite right- because in three days, there would be 18 viable options at any given time. But hey, congrats- you're driving around in a new car!
If this is to avoid transaction/currency exchange charges you can buy a Gift Card and use it to make purchases - either redeem it as a kitty of store credit or enter the code on each order until it is gone.
did they fix the giftcard glitches? the one with 2 codes but neither work?
thanks :)
I've bought two giftcards during the recent promotions, and both of them worked.
I must have been a little too impatient with the second one, I immediately clicked on it, and it said code not correct. I waited a few minutes for the database to settle, then it accepted it.
thanks :)
This is the first item I'm buying that I maybe wouldnt have at the normal new-release price; but for $6.46. It was the sheer number of morphs, coupled with the band/scarf that give extra versitility; plus EmmaAndJordi is a vender I feel I can trust.
The no returns policy is certainly making me extra wary; if in dount, I will not purchase; I can understand that Daz need to protect themselves from abuse, but this has prevented genuine unhappy customers from any option but not to buy in the first place.
Good job that the hair was there, because otherwise I would have lost a rev-up; hoping tomorrow gives something I like or I will lose one.
REV UP must be a terrific sale since they now have 4 pages of Rev UP deals,
Buy something I don't want in order to get something I do want...
For my part, I'll buy something I don't really need if the free-offered piece is one I do want badly enough, and the sum I'm spending on secondaries is less that the Bonus Item's store price. That's how I snagged the new horse last spring.
No, it's to avoid a 25-line Visa bill for 25 separate items each bought at a different time. It's just easier for me to deal with a bill that only has 3 lines each of which represent 8 or 9 items than 25 separate lines just for DAZ. This is why I like shopping carts much better than instant one-click purchases.... for ALL sites not just DAZ.
Yes, that's exactly why Richard suggested the Gift card route. That's what I do too. I just buy one or two Giftcards each month for the approximate amount I usually spend and then redeem them for store credit. That way the credit card has only one or two charges and I just check out by selecting "Store credit". Works great.

Well, a Gift Card would address that too - work out your budget for a week, a fortnight or a month (according to taste) and buy a GC of that value, redeem it as Store Credit and you can use it to pay for single item orders without adding extra entries to your CC statement.
Yeah, and I spend too much money when it is too easy!
I did have my CC on file with daz...that was like click click and it's done.
When I have to dig out the card, enter the numbers I am more inclined to wait on purchases. LOL
Thanks, I can't tell you just how great it is to walk into a car dealership, point at the one I want and 2 hrs later drive home a 2015 with years of no worries (first brand new truck.) But it happened about 2 months earlier than I had been planning, so it's gonna be tight this month. This also means I'm going to be even more frugal than normal when it comes to extras, like Daz.
As for the string out... that is definitely an improvement, if there is more than one thing you want, However, I find it rare that the is even one thing I want, So even though it is still available the next day, If I didn't want it on the first day, it is unlikely I'll want it on the second, and even less likely I'll want it on the third.... Actually my comment about needing more of a selection is based on the fact that I feel if you are going to run a "must buy for the best discount" sale, that each day there should be at least 24 items to pick from. Now they don't all have to be new to the store just releases. if there were say 6 new releases, 6 older but still "new" items, and 12 items from various backcatalogs, and those remained up for the three days, I'd be far more likely to find things I actually want to buy. But due to the very limited number of items to build up the discount, I find for myself, that I'd likely spend more on things Less wanted or not needed trying to get the best discount on something I did want than I would have just taking the base discount on the item(s) I want. However, I'm not really complaining, just given the reason I choose to ignore there type sales over a solid straightforward discount sale.
As for the
I understand where you are coming from, however, It's a pretty provable fact that most people will spend $20 5 times before spending $100 once, and I have credit card statements to prove it (Bill day has been shocking sometimes).... So it's no wonder Daz has a few sales that inch people into that direction, it's just good business (for them, and a ouchie to my wallet), but I do find 2 or three purchases a month make it much easier to keep ontrack and not jump at the first sale that comes along.
that works? lol
