    I think I've figured it out. A little above the top of your screenshot, it says "EXTRA 30% off ‘Scouted’ New Releases", which is reflected in the advertised prices. It looks like you don't get both that and the "extra 50% off all items".

    An extra 50% off should result in a total 83.5% discount, bringing, for example, the FE hair down to $3.96. What's important to note is that an extra 50% discount does NOT halve the price you see before you add it to cart. What's strange is that I can't figure out how the items are 66% off to begin with. 30% for Daz Originals, 30% for new releases, right? That would make them 51% off before the extra 50%, which would yield a 75.5% total discount...which is actually what some of the prices are in the poster's cart.

    Ohhh, if your looking at the initial discount, that is confusing!

    $24.99 at 66% off should be 8.4966 no? (24.99 * 0.34)

    Or perhaps I'm reading or calculating something wrong.

     

    edit: referencing the playful bob at the top of their list

    edit2: Oh, I think 66 is just the closest whole number. Increasing or decreasing the percentage by one percent results in a bigger disparity. Nevermind. Sorry, for adding to any confusion.

    Aztec Pyramids 2 is in today's new releases. Was there ever a Aztec Pyramids 1?

    That PA does a lot of products that are numbered 1, 2, etc., all of which are DAZ Originals, and most seem to tie in to products a PA by the same name sells as game assets and that PA has an Aztec Temple set at ArtStation.  That's probably the "1".

    Apologies for one more round of my likely bad math, but I think you saw the problem better (than me).

    The 66% would line up with 30% (DO) + 30% (new) + 30% from the title saying "extra 30% off 'scouted' new releases' which doesn't seem to apply to the cart?

    0.7 * 0.7 * 0.7 = 0.343 matching the 66?

     

    edit: Oh, of course! The cropped text in the promo shows that third 30% getting upgraded to 50% which explains it??

    Ahh, I missunderstood their problem twice before figuring out what you had already explained. I think I'll call it a night before I risk "helping" anyone else. lol

    While I'm aware it's a common Asian name, this borders on a r/GraphicDesignFail post, using a hard-to-read orange font that blends in and odd typesetting that makes the most obvious text from a distance say "Show Off Your Wang".

    the wish list sale is going all over the place in cart and monthly coupon i6 off 18 nvalid when going through working out items sometimes and the walking survivor vehicle new release has been 9+ 7 and $5 and had other items totaled 18+ coupon wiuldn't work and when did some things jumped in price and tried using tokens deleted coupon in checkout tried so many variations but prices keep changing after 3am too tired giving up 

    6 of 18 coupon excludes new releases, so you have to have a total of $18 of non-new products in the cart for it to work. 

    these were all non new releases I picked from my wishlist but it also affected the new release in my cart as the price kept going all over the place too

     

    tried again few changes but think I know why, the stuff I picked from my wish list for the wish list sale a lot of my wish list stuff also is in the scouted sale so guess it kept getting cofused didn't know how to work out the prices clashing in the sales but got to use both my coupon and tokens this time even got good discount on the new release

    Wishlisted DO items + Coupon Code CLASSIC-GEMS still rocks, even without using any tokens.

    I was puzzled by that, I certainly don't recall one. Though at a glance they looked more Maya to me.

    They are definitely Mayan, but they are well made. You can always expect quality from Enterables. An immediate purchase.

    The stars finally aligned and a G8 character on my wishlist popped up in lightning deals. Combined with the coupons and tokens, cost a whopping 20 cents.

    I'm out of "Classic" wishlisted items. Down to two "Recent"...

    Wow! That is amazing! I keep hoping one of my Wishlisted items will show up. Especially if it's one that qualifies for a Wishlist Code.

    Yesterday I had the V9 Brave Highlander Bundle show up but passed, since I am not into G9 & especially not V9's eyes. I hope this means V9 & Company are popping up in Lightning Deals for those who are fans.

    Weird... whenever I check the promo pictures of buildings made by them I discover stuff that would lead to immediate breakdown of (mostly) roofs...

    But people have different preferences wink

  • PerttiAPerttiA Posts: 10,024

    Some are saying that the prices here are too high... Dunno...

    Ps. No tokens used.

    @Xandyr78

    If it's: 30% for Daz Original + 30% for new + 50% for the five

    Then for your first item at a base price of 24.99 it seems to work out as:

    24.99 * 0.7 = 17.493 * 0.7 = 12.2451 * 0.5 = 6.12255

    Which matches your 6.12 price for that item when rounded down.

     

    edit: grammar

    Oh, [my goodness], is that convoluted.  LOL.  But thank you for that succinct and clear explanation.  It helps tremendously!  I do wish DAZ were a bit more...transparent in how these sorts of things work.  The sheer number of levels of discount (not to mention what WILL stack versus what WON'T stack) gets a bit overwhelming.

    Thanks again for taking the time to respond!

    Daz tokens are apparantly going away soon, I guess not enough people were buying in 4 day windows

    Just buy it All! You deserve it!

    I did get paid today, so it's tempting :D. Too bad I can't pay my book editor with renders... ;)

    How do you know, have you tried?

    Fair point. I just have a feeling it won't go well.

    And I just might have to, because those discounts of over 90% were too tempting to pass. ;)

    You're good. Discounts are bad. No, wait, they're good, too good... I'm bad, apparently, at not buying more stuff.

    Well after previous excelent daily sales, all I can hear now are crickets :p

    Yeah... I have 8 tokens left, but if these are the offers, I may just let them expire. 

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,016

    i had 8 items in cart that were 82% off from the other day. Today the banner went away and now $229. Snooze you lose. Well, DAZ lost too. 

  • paulawp (marahzen)paulawp (marahzen) Posts: 1,373

    Hmm, I also have tokens in hand but am underwhelmed by the day's offerings. Half of my tokens expire today and I might let them go.

  • sazzyazzcasazzyazzca Posts: 495

    I'm also thinking of just letting mine expire. I'm shopped out and at the point of clicking through the pages, but pretty much zoned out.
