    one thing I have found though, all the G8 clothing I've tried has fit to G9. It is not that way with G9 to G8. I suppose there is a work around someplace.... but, that gives more flexibility in using G9. I am trying to stay away from G9 overall as I cannot afford to get on the wheel and just keep spending on each new generation, especially when a lot of it is repetitious. I have every Vicki since V1 other than V9. I feel like a heretic or something. 

    So the only thing I have added to this cart is the necessary items to bring down the base price of all newly mad releases and my PA coupon.  I have 0 tokens and no special banners. 

    I have also found so far that G 8 clothing has worked pretty well on G9.  I have used gen3 hair as well.  Just need a good way to reliably migrate G8 shapes to G9 with out major deformed eyes and feet.

    hmmm... here's what I get ... EDIT: OH..i used my DAZ+ DO coupon already. The PA one does not work for me.

     Sorry, I meant I used my DAZ+ coupon, the PA one does not work on new releases.  $28ish is right without your monthly coupon.  I forgot to use my DAZ+ last month.  I could have hand the Genghis bundle for $16 if I had used my coupon last month on the day it was released.

    For the sales tied to release date (an extra 30% off items released before 1066...), is there a way to find the release date.  Current interest is the Mad Artist Stores list.

    June 2018 is about a year after the G8 was released.

    The way I do it, is that I set the listing to 120 products per page, go to the second page and change the page number in the page URL to something like 20 (if total page count near 30). If I get mostly G3 products it means I went too far and if the DO products don't have 71% base discount (for DAZ+ members), I didn't go far enough.

    When one has done it a few times, it doesn't take that long to find them.

    It's a bit burried but when you open a product page look for line like "SKU:XXXXX Read Me ". When you open the link there it will take you to Product Index page and there you can see "Release Date".

    logged in a couple days to the headline "big free big easter egg hunt" etc blah blah blah

    poked around didn't see any ....  dedided I wasn't going to look at the 200 pages 
    ---
    today opened daz.. not even logged in and look first thing on the page.. easter egg day 3" 
    --
    Was the original headline for something that was going to start in a couple days... was I suppose to check in everyday out of X days to see if there was one. 
    So won't get the bonus item or  whaterer... I'm so sad.. also ticked off,. I've been regreting the state of my cash flow cutting down on daz purchases but frankly once again I've moved over to time to stay away from the agitation for another half year.

    It's been featured on the sales page each day, and they're new items so they'll show up at the start if you're sorting by release date. They're doing these in sets of four, where if you collect all four you get the freebie some time after the fourth in the series is no longer available, so you should expect to see a new "1 of 4" in a couple of days.

    Having been here for 7 years my best guess* is that this is the final sale weekend ... but it will get extended one more day on Monday.  The upside is sometimes they will add a lot of other vendors / products into the last day of sale ... the downside is the discounts usually decrease that last day.

    * DISCLAIMER: you can never really tell what they are thinking or planning to do, which is why this is a guess.

    Since this is the "final" 48 hours, and I own all of today's Grab Bag items I would want, I'm holding on until tomoroow to see if something better comes along...

    Had a look before starting my Saturday routine (grocery shopping for mom and helping her with whatever she needs) and the discounts were not as high as they have been, some older Mad Artists items that I have dropped from the cart at around $3, were around $4 now.

    Bought the fourth part of the egg on a cart of it's own and having a closer look at the offers, but I may save 100% of my store credit today.

    But if you have an orange banner offer it might or might not be valid tomorrow. Just something to consider.

    I think the orange banner is based on your spending during March Madness; but be sure to check your messages just to be sure you don't have it. 

    And I don't think DAZ loves me when I still haven't gotten the shaders after purchasing all four parts of the Easter Egg.

    It is complicated. I have been a member long enough to have the more necessary items. But I still have a long wish list for other items I think would be helpful / useful at some point. At the moment:

    I have an orange banner with no expiration date given ... will it last through even monday as a final day?

    I have no tokens this week ... the tokens seem to be making me purchase much more at once, but less often ... overall I think I got some good deals ... but it makes me want to wait for monday

    Many items on my wishlist seem to miss sales like this ... which is probably why they are still on my wishlist ... what if they go on sale that truly last day

    Simply ... I see the potential for a big purchase coming up, but I may just end up with 'there is always another sale' if it does not all come together well.

    I was hoping that there would be some decent discounts on my extensive wishlist of older things now that I actually have a few Still Mad things that I want... but, no.  65% on genuinely old stuff?  Phhhbt.  My wishlist has increased by many items over the last month of MM, but I guess it's time to wait for Another Sale(TM).  Hopefully there will be a good one this year.

  • PerttiAPerttiA Posts: 10,024

    Sitting on the cart was the right choice, don't have to collect new Still Mad items today and there is an added bonus for having $15+ in the cart.

    Gift Card sale is useless for me, as I use prepaid credit cards and here in the EU they are limited to max. 150EUR

    ...well was able to leave MM with a bit of a bang.  Got two Stonemason I've been wanting items off my wishlist for a total of 14.70$ saving almost 60$.  Used only the 4 tokens I had  from Tuesday and my PA coupon.  At 7.35$ each, almost as good as the super Madness Grab Bag without the Still Madness buy in.

    I went from over 300 items down to one single item. Between tokens and March Madness discounts I definitely overspent.
