    Thanks for the info on that New Year's coupon. I am going to use it on https://www.daz3d.com/lycan-9-hd-character-bundle. It's 75% off, so $25 for Base members, which I am right now. With the coupon, it drops to $18.75 (no tokens), and if I did the math correctly, it should be about $12/$13 for Plus/Premier. I am happy with $19 since I missed Lycan during its 2 turns in the free Premier bundle selection & there's no guarantee it'll be back ever, much less during a month when I have Premier.

     

    It's $17.50 for Daz+ (before the 25% off coupon). You might consider buying one month of Daz+ first and reaping those benefits all month, with the 30% off Daz Originals and the two $6 coupons.

    Thanks for suggestion. I will think about it, but this might be my only purchase for the month due to a pricey car repair, plus sky high utility bills from the January freeze. 

    In that case, it would cost more and be a bad deal.

    If I was sure I was going to be able to buy later in the month, I would definitely go this route. I will definitely keep it in mind in case March is also tight.

    Gonna lay low and wait for a GC sale.

    Me too. The next serious money they get will include a GC sale with a 2 ahead.  Until then, its only LD sniping.

    Well, there are a couple shiny PA items that come in at a fair price with the 25% coupon. I won't be boasting about the incredible deal, but it will be ok. They are items I want from PAs I like.

    That's how I feel about the Lycan bundle. IMO, it's a pretty good price for something I've wanted since it released. Not a spectacular "shout it from the forum rooftops" super-stacking + tokens deal, of course, but a fair deal.

    Let me know what you buy with the coupon.

    Excellent I understand! Lycan is pretty cool!

     I'm looking at https://www.daz3d.com/xi-superhero-muscle-car (Better than the movie car, IMO) and https://www.daz3d.com/wings-of-darkness-for-genesis-9-81-8-and-3 devil I'm waiting a little to see if LD serves anything irresistable at the next changeover and if there's anything else from my WL that just can't wait. Considering I'm supposedly not spending now, that seems sort of like spending. angel

    ...found the 25% coupon on my account message page as well (after seing all the mentions abiout it) and it came in very handy with the sale this weekend.  Broke my "taboo" of going over 20$ again (24$ & change with 2 tokens) but picked up a couple clothing items along with their materials sets off the wishlist as  well as the Royal Palace Bundle.

    Had I waited for this sale I could have got AM's All The Rabbits bundle for 18.75$ (100$ value) however I already purchased the base Rabbit figure and one of the add on sets the other day, both of which I still got at a significant discount.

    That coupon was still good this morning. I fell asleep and found my cart prices had somehow not changed at all. So I bought it.

    That's the thing about these sales. We never know what tomorrow will bring. Seems like you did ok, though. My purchase rules say, don't buy DO's for less than 93% off in the cart, don't buy PA items for less than 81% off. Seems stingy, but experience shows Daz will offer these items at even greater discounts at specific times. So it's a matter of accepting the current offer or waiting for a better offer, depending on how much one actually wants or needs the items. cool

    Yeah. My Daz budget is fixed, so it's just a matter of how much I get for that X amount of money. At this point I save DO's for the monthly $6 coupon or any of those random freebie deals, as what's left of those for me (with only a couple exceptions) is stuff that I'd have fun with, but it's not holding me up. Everything else, a lot of it comes down to "Yes, the price is okay, but will I really use it before [next major sale] when it's likely to be better?" Most times the answer is no. I'm still kicking myself for burning my $6 coupon early in the month last month when a "grunge it up" type utility I had my eye on went to about $6 exactly. I thought I'd use it pretty much right away, so it was worth mor than I'd usually pay. But I still haven't touched it, and if I waited even a week I could've added one or maybe two other DOs to that cart. Argh.

    I had items in cart at 90% off, using 6 tokens, and the 25% off coupon. It was good this morning. Just went to buy and all dropped to 63%. Cleared cart. Not sure what changed. Doesn't matter.

    Similar thing. I looked at my Wishlist this morning, & most of the items were 75% off or so. I looked at it a few minutes ago and everything had jumped to either full price or only 50% off. Too bad, so sad for Daz 3D.

    I suspect that Daz trimmed the list of Featured Artists to those actually featured today. Sorry that happened to you. As we know from years of experience, there will be another sale, and another, and another.

    The hair flash sale has been up there for hours. I think it is so unexciting that nobody bothered to comment on it.

    It certainly didn't do it for me, but mileage may vary. (And I'm not shocked it's been up a while... kiddo's wakeup time was about 6:30 PM today, though, so first I saw it, and it might've been one of those rogue evening ones.)

    I didn't really price anything out, but after last week's astonishing sales, today's looked pale.

    I've got way more hair than I need at current (most of it impulse stuff when stacking brought it down to impossible-to-pass-up levels of cheap) so I didn't even look to see if it stacked with anything else that was going on.

    My current strategy is holding out for March unless something truly impresses me (like last week's). I do have some tokens to blow from last week's, but I'll probably end up using them to drop things to get a good value out of my monthly coupon.

  • I looked through the hair flash sale selection, but I didn't see anything I really wanted.

    And today we have a Fifty Shades of Daz bundle. Going to pass. Daz is making it so easy for me to stick to my decision to not buy anything, not even a membership, right now.

    50 shades of Daz... that fits. Thanks for the chuckle!

    I do like the character herself. No particular gap she'd fill for me at the moment, but I wishlisted her in case something comes up later.

    Hard pass on the rest, but i'm sure those fuzzy handcuffs will make /somebody's/ day.

    Probably lots of somebodies.

    Glad someone got a laugh out of it. And the Elena thread already has renders, for anyone who wants to see how she looks in Girl Next Door clothing. Not bad actually.

    But earlier in the week we had a Fantasy Maid day with assorted White & Asian Girls, with the latter appearing very Young & Biddable IMO. Plus the obligatory skimpwear maid costume. (Anyone else up for a Mei Lin 9?)

    I could probably make use of the character, the hair and the shape, but I don't know what they add that other characters I have don't (I don't use the characters themselves - I just borrow textures for my characters) so it will have to be -really- cheap to entice me. I have troll/toon/sci-fi stuff levels of "no possible use" for the rest of this particular bundle, add-on and extras. Will see if Daz dangles any can't-say-no offer on it.

  • If the fuzzy handcuffs were free, it would be perfect for the Freebie Challenge.

    laugh She's ok - Better than Sylvia, at least. Definitely a brunette. But still, nothing I especially want or need. And I have already no shortage of women in skimpwear, so no need for her bundle. Fantasy maid promo and extra-skimpy Dark Fantasy bundle all seem to hit the same notes. I admit, I could eventually end up with the skimpy armor - Just not today. cheeky

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,145

    out of tokens, no coupons, no memberships, nothing on sale enough to urge me to buy a thing. Not even any free items available to entice me a bit. A new bundle but she isn't any more different than the other 300 female characters I have. Vanilla bean skin textures. 
    Well,  there will be another sale. Someday.

     :D

    I think I have enough armor, skimpy or not, for now. Passing on Joan 9 character bundle (added to the Premier free bundle options this week) partly because I don't need 3 sets of "what folks think plate armor looks like" for G9. I think there will be different Bi-weekly-ish Freebies tomorrow, so hoping to find a golden oldie in that selection.

    What she adds for me is a Caucasian skin with some (but not obtrusive) details and eyebagless normals, which hasn't been available in a 9 female Core Figure before her.

    Wishlisted and wait until tomorrow or the weekend.

    Agreed! I've been to enough museums and snapped enough photos to know what plate armor actually looks like. It's good that Moonlit Empress is an outfit despite having some armor components. And we're spared from another painfully pointy set of high heels. That's a plus right there!

    Not my style of outfit, though I checked it out on your comment about the footwear because a lot of the outfits I have are for G8 and therefore the footwear doesn't work for my G9s. Giving it a pass because there really isn't a clear shot of the shoes. If your product is black, why on earth would you do most of your promos on a black background?
