    I am still at zero tokens for the week. As in, not bought a thing. Holding onto my store credit and saving for something that I might actually use and get excited about.

    Not to say that I saw some things I thought were okay and I wishlisted. But I don't need now.

    I bought stuff but not new stuff

    Cleaning out my wishlist and going through the lists... As the work I'm being paid for, is frequently interrupting, I'm just at 72 items so far, only 2 of them at more than $3, most at $2 or less.

    Seems I've got the wrong items in my wishlist, as most what I can get is them going from ~40% off to ~46% off, so nowhere close to $3.- or less wink

    Cart at 79 items... 8 tokens giving $93.58 discount and adding 6 tokens to what I had this morning...

    The order in which one fills the cart matters, pick any "Newly Mad Daz Original" and any "Newly Mad Non-Daz Original", then any "Daz+ Newly Mad Releases", do not pick the "Daz+ Weekly Featured Items" before selecting 10 (more expensive) items from "Amazing Daz+ Items"

    If you soend over $10 on an order, not counting any Gift Crad purchases, then you should get a Token or Tokens - age of the items is not relevant.

    Yesterday with everything in the store on sale, made a big dent on my credit... some 50+ items with ~85% off. Lots of stuff that usually doesn't get below $10-15, was in the $2-5 range (after all the stacked discounts and 8 tokens) 

    Today was pretty amazing!

    I totally spent out. It's the offers combined with the 40% off with the tokens that makes it viable. It was even worth getting some throw away Still mad items to bring the whole price down. (can't see me getting into G9 for some time). Things that had sat in the wishlist for months/years are finally in my content library. :)

    Happy - but poor again.

  • Hmm, don't know if those sales are probably only for a short time and during night time here in Europe? I do only see a rather limited offering of products that have high base discounts so that the tokens drive the complete discount to >75%. Also unfortunately a lot of back catalog items are excluded from the sales like yesterday quite a lot of rather recent hairs by outoftouch. Or Joe Quick's Toon Kids for G9.

    Yesterday's sale was all day long (as: from Dazland midnight until today's Dazland midnight), and there wasn't any flashes as far as I know. It was just the mix of non-new Daz Originals being extra 60% off, buying Daz+ new release (which had extra-low prices too) to get a generous extra % off and some other sale discounts and tokens. Sure, some things were excluded, but if you shopped mostly DOs, you could get really sweet deals on some. For example, after mixing and matching discounts and tokens, I got Stonemason's Winter Castle for $3.77 (and a bunch of Daz+ items to clear out my list for $0.25-1.50 and some other DOs for a few bucks as well).

    Yes, it wasn't about the prices that were shown, but all the discounts combined and I'm afraid today is not much different with DAZ+ items in the "Mad Artists" list, have even some DAZ+ items in my cart that I through out yesterday for being over $3.

    Probably not getting the cart to 93% off today as I couldn't resist the Magic Room and a couple of other items that are 'just' 87% off in the cart blush

    Edit: My midnight arrives at 3PM DazTime here in Finland.

    With all artists being on sale today and using 8 tokens for an exra 40% off, I almost clompletely cleared my wishlist. All that is left are 6 items that were released in February and so aren't generally eligible for sale discounts.

    ....all the Daz artists are on sale but no way to select a specific artist's store like usual during a Ketchup sale, so you have to slog through 233 pages. Even being retired that's a bloody waste of time.

    Really disappointed this year..

    You try using the filter option to select the artist your are interested in?  I use that all the time when trying to check to see what certain folks have included in sale categories.  I probably would have jumped on board for a bunch of stuff, but since they have not rectified the Varg bundle price, yet, I decided I would wait this part of the sale out.  I don't like buying stuff while I am waiting on other stuff to be fixed.  There is always another sale, right? lol

    Why can't you just use the filter at the left.  Pick any artist.  Seems to work fo rme.

    ...I find it simpler when they are listed like is usually done at the wrap up of a sale.event (memory issues, particularly with newer artist names).

    BTW anyone know if the Ketcfhup sale is just a one day event or will it continue tomorrow?

    That would be no different this time because it's all artists!  I think it would be simpler to go to your wishlist and then filter by artist.  At least the list would be shorter, and limited to what you know you want.  That should simplify it.

    ...this is still a departure from previous sale event finales.

    As to shopping I was looking for an item to get as close to what I need to get to 8 tokens without going too far over that.  After I selected the items I wanted from the I wishlist found myself short  by about 4$ and everything else would push   I also still try to purchase items I know will use.

  • Welp, that was an underwhelming March.

    Maybe they will push MM into the weekend, as they often do.

    Or, maybe it'll be more of the same "Buy 2 of Newly Mad X to pay twice as much for Grab Bag Y as you would have last year," hard to tell.

  • PerttiAPerttiA Posts: 10,024

    For me, the "Mad Artists" has been the best list to find bargains. First I select "Software->Daz Studio 4.21", then "Only Show +" if there are any, if no DAZ+ items are on the list, I choose "Artist->Daz Originals", set the list to 120 items per page, navigate to page 2 and change the URL in the address bar to page 20 or something that gets me close to June 2018, where DO items have base discount of 71% off.

    Once I have checked DAZ+ and DO, I may select artists one at a time and sort the list with "Price Low-High"

    Grab Bags that don't have the "Offer does not stack with other discounts", have also been good with the 40% token discount

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,198

    ...well managed to get to 8 tokens as I wasn't sure there would be another day after what happened during the Fall Daz+ sale when there was a one day ketchup sale and that was it, the event was over two weeks earlier than in past years.  Kind of hard to predict what Daz will do these days, so have to prepare for the worst.  Now I can finally get to getting a few of the bigger items off my list.with the extra 40% and my PA coupon.

    I had a token.
    Then it disappered surprise

    Except a few debut new relases, I'm not seeing anything today that wasn't already on sale yesterday.

    Last day of March Madness. I wonder what item we will see tomorrow for only $9,999.00 ? 

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,138

    it ends with a thud. 

    I had that ghenghis con bundle in my cart at $18 but now its 37..what part of the discount fell off? anyway, it wont be in my inventory at 37. I'm sure this MM will be extended to Monday. Every sale ends with an extension.

    Yesterday there was a 'Today Only' offer of an extra 50% off the bundle.

    Tried to hold on to at least some remnants of sanity yesterday as the day before I lost it completely, but today is a new day and picking up items I left out like Jack Tomalin's Carnival pack with the Cotton Candy add-on, at $0.34 per product... Just couldn't resist.
