Maybe it's me but $3.99 is too high a price for "oooh maybe that'll come in handy" or a "oh go on" type buy, and instead i'm thinking nah don't really need that.
I think if there'd been a longer gap between the PA and Daz+ sales I might be more tempted but remembering that just two days ago I got things way cheaper is not giving me the 'buy it' urge.
Not just you. $1.99 worked quite well on me for "why not, it's cheap" purchases but somehow $3.99 feels much higher so I'm way more picky.
That selection does have $1.99 items as well, which become $1.24 with a Debut New (and $0.74 with 8 tokens)
absolutely nothing I wanted in the DAZ+ for the day selection even if it were 1.99
I did consider today's Fantasy Queen bundle it comes down to $18 with the Doorbuster and my 1 token
but I really don't need it
I suppose the goal is to make us buy something new, to get these items for $ 2.49 each, but it works only if someone's looking at enough of them to cover the price of that new item.
Last month last was easy to understand, but on the other hands, with the current one, I like that the main selections of items are not too long, so I'm able to look at them in a short time and decide if I'm buying something or not.
Among the various selections, the BYOD selection feels a bit too old for someone like me that started using Daz this year. Yesterday and today, I have at best 5 or 6 items than could be interesting, other are simply too old and I have no idea how I would use them (my bank account is not complaining on the other hand
).
Maybe the BYOD selection is more interesting for people who are more experienced at using DAZ, with a deeper library of items, and knowledge in how to use the older items.
Yup. Really need to replenish the stock of funds. I spent way more than anticipated on the PA Sale. Whilst part of me wishes they were all that good, another part is happy they are not.
the new magician clothing doesn't have any shoes or boots... maybe that's part of the vanishing act?
Yes, it seems like somewhat of a slap in the face to us loyal members who have already bought a lot of items and therefore are likely to already own the doorbuster.
Actually... One gets both, 20% off for owning the Door Buster and 25% off for having it in the cart.

But you get that 20% without having to put a new release into your cart, so it's "free" 20% off.
Really could do with one of those deals where we get to buy bundles but for the price of items we don't have.
I remember when Daz_RAWB said they had that feature when the store got updated... they roll it out once every 9 months or so!
The downside of that kind of sale is the way the price is calculated is pretty obscure: I never really understand how it was done when it happened during the summer.
The base prices of the individual items are added together and compared to the base price of the bundle, this gives a ratio with which the individual items are discounted, plus the current discount of the bundle.
In practice one needs to have all but 3-4 items already to get the bundle price down to single figures.
Yeah, noped past the new version of BYOB. That, lack of Anniversary bundles, and increased expense & complication of D+FAD means I won't restart my membership until mid month payday.
I'm waiting til there's something new that interests me and/or my tokens expire, which is Friday, to delve into the mysteries of this sale.
i have 10 hours to use my coupons. So far they will save me $1.40 ...
sometimes the low price is so enticing, like the 50 cent items now being sold. But then I think, I could buy a few slices of bread with that 50 cents. Eaten and flushed with no longevity of use.
...day 4 and I'm still haven't bought anything.
BYOB used to be 2.99$ for a total of 8 items, now it's 70% off and most much of it is really old items.
The Daz+FAD sale just doesn't seem as enticing as in past years. I'm hard pressed to purchase even 2 let alone 3 items to get the Doorbuster to in turn get the extra discount. It's primarily characters, poses, and dForce clothing (not purchasing any new dForce items for the time being as for some reason running sims tends to crash not just the programme but my system's display driver as well).
I could not agree more.
I suppose you saw them, but if you missed them, since the beginning there always was a new Daz+ item among the new item, allowing access to the Door Buster for $ 4, or even less.
Yep, yesterday the Door Buster + The Daz+ new item were $3.01 together (without using tokens)
Sometimes the deals are a bit complicated. I have things in my wishlist and going through all the variations in order to understand if there are any savings is just too complex.
Nevertheless, I made some great deals in the last weeks. Still have some stuff in my wishlist waiting....
But, taking the trouble of figuring out the rules and triggers does give rewards not available in other stores.
During the PA sale, I bought minimum $120 worth per week, every cart was at least 90% off at average $2 per item
This week the percentage discount has been 94-96% off per cart at average $1 per item.
If you are getting the Karmen 9 Pro Bundle, don't forget to tick the boxes for Interactive and Print license. Will be added free of charge once ticked.
@Elor, ...thanks for the heads up on that forgot they always have a new Daz+ item every day. Of course for my needs it still has to to be something I will use. If it's G9, horror, or ridiculous sexy "skimpwear" I pass on it, however bith of today's (Daz+ and Door Buster) items are useful.
Shopping's a pain when you are on a very alimited budget.
The D+FAD was really interesting for me today. Finding 3 products for the Door Buster was no problem. And together with today's D+ item, it resulted in nice discounts again.
I refrain from buying stuff that I absolutely never will need/use to buy something that I don't need/will use, to achieve a 25% price reduction on stuff that I didn't buy when it was reduced to the same or even a lower price, without having to jump through hoops... Still got me a couple D+FAD items for $ 2.- each over the last days and managed to use my DAZ+ monthly coupons right at the start...
Something definitely kicked in, as I got the Karmen pro bundle down to $17.70 (with tokens, monthly coupon and some other new releases/door buster in the cart), so pulled the trigger with about 5 minutes to spare. Still not sure what triggered the extra discount though.
