    @OrangeFalcon Let me put it this way: For me (and probably not just me), the conditions of Premier are not sufficiently compelling to keep it outside of the big sales. I lety mine lapse and I don;t feel bad about doing that. I expect to re-up for a month in March. YMMV.

    Yeah, that's exactly my point.  Everyone's utilization of promotions and sales are different.  For you, subbing to Premier isn't worth it based on what you do, and that's okay. But for me, and others, I have saved a huge amount with it so far.  It's all based on what you buy, how often you buy, and other factors.  After having it for a number of months now, I've noticed my spending amount is actually slightly less overall, and I've been able to get a lot more products compared to when I was buying with Daz +.

    But anyway, Premier or not, some of the recent sales have been a bit meh for me.  The wishlist discount is nice and all, but I find that many of the items in my wishlist tend to conveninetly be at full price, so the 30% (or even the recent 40%) discount really didn't persuade me to budge.  I'm looking forward to March Madness again.  It can't come soon enough!

    Where are Elena 9 and XI Love Hotel mentioned in this product?

    I was coming to ask the exact same question...

    My guess is that Valentine's is three weeks away, and they jumped the gun on this.

    Overall, it seems Daz+ is now a relic - If one already has a lengthy subscription for it, best to use the subscription. Otherwise, best to go with Premiere in whatever capacity. I agree with your conclusions. 

  • At this point in my purchasing, I'm largely looking for non-DO items younger than a year old. New items are priced too highly for me, and the selections in the featured categories are increasingly too thin on what I'm looking for to be enticed to buy-in.

    Premier would've been great for me a couple of years ago - no doubt. But today, I'm only planning on renewing my membership during the store-wide events. I've under a week left until it lapses, and I suspect that prices I'm about to see will keep me from visiting the store daily as I have done for the past few years, during which Daz+ membership was both constant and the best value. I'm not paying $20 a month just to see better prices on stuff I don't want.

    That's where I am. My Daz+ was paid through the end of 2025, and they offered one month of Premier in trade. Nope. I'll ride out the pre-paid Daz membership and reassess at that time what I'm doing next in terms of buying stuff. Like someone has already said in a subsequent post, the Premier deal, dollarwise, is the best if you buy a lot and it would've been helpful 2-3 years ago for me when I was accumulating stuff en masse. I don't know that I need that much more stuff.

    For people who already have a full runtime and have only older items which seldom turn up in a "deal" using Premier or even DAZ+ isn't worth it (anymore), especially as it works mostly for G9 content. The same is true for "deals" which nowadays nearly always call for the purchase of G9 content. Having to buy something which isn't fully compatible to the (old) content I use to get a marginal price reduction for old content I could and would use isn't just worth the effort.

    The newer the customer, the more worth they have from DAZ+/Premier. The longer you shopped here, the less you profit from it.

    Same, except for me it's to 10/2026, and they offered me three months. What a joke.

    Mostly it's no big because I'm looking at the sales and it's just better prices on things I have no desire to buy. But it is frustrating when that isn't the case and I'm stuck with the red-headed stepchild price because there's no way to get Premier for /just/ one month without sacrificing /all/ my D+ months. And sacrificng all my D+ months would be stupid for my own spending pattern and content needs. 

    But hey, by the end of that time, I'll probably have most if not all of the boxes checked for what I really need to make what's in my head. There's a folder of bookmarks for stuff I'm stalking, and there are a couple big things I'm I'm waiting to come out (the G9 version of https://www.daz3d.com/auto-life-hd-for-genesis-8-females to come out, for example) but the vast majority of my wishlist at this point is just keeping track of stuff that's kinda pretty, and I may or may not ever use, but if it went on some amazing bargain I'd probably get it. If I don't end up ever getting it... oh well.

    I'm also in Daz+ until 10/2026, and I was offered 2 months of Premier in exchange. No way was I going to even consider that.
  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,193

    ...Daz+ until Independence Day this year so will ride it out to get what I can from it.  At least I'll have it for MM and the June Daz+ sale (hope it's better than last year's) definitely will miss it afterwards as 120$ a year for the same perks I have now isn't worth it.

    I might give Premium a try once during a later sale event.  Not interested in the stuff that goes away when it expires or bundle offerings as I don't bother much  with G9,  For the fact have never been excited much by  character bundles in general though it would be nice if the free offer extended to environment, critter, and "utility" content, or merchant resource bundles (the last bundle I bought was the Rococo Revival Bundle and before that the Presidential Bundle, both at a significant discount).

    ..I was wondering if there was going to be an interior set for the Notre Dame Cathederal model .  Looks like my question has been answered.

    So next question, will there will be an addition  of the great organ in the west balcony under the rose wndow? 

    The  Cavaille-Coll console of 1868.

    Indeed. Another spectacular set from Architect. Note that apart from the organ the statues are also yet to made.

    my Premiere expired on the 23rd. End of spending until a real sale happens. I have been buying content from bundles I  will use for quite awhile, so the "free" bundles within Premier are picked over already and only contain stuff I had passed on before. I have picked up a couple of new release bundles however, but for me, the bundles need a huge changeover.  

    I said it before, pricing without DAZ+ or Premier are just too high, and having to buy something from the new release section to save , especially considering most new stuff over the last many months, overall, just doesn't strike me as worth the cost, not anything I want. Of course, that I hve been buying here and other places since Poser beginnings, has left me pretty much saturated with content, most of which I haven't even used. Oh well, it is what it is. 

  • I am debating whether to reup Premier first week of February or hold off until closer to March Madness, which I think started the last week of February last year. Probably will depend on the free character bundle selection looks like. I'm not really into Lucas 9 and on the fence about Astaroth 9. There's a couple items in the bundle I like, but no human alternate is a small drawback, plus I haven't done anything with Damien 3 that I picked up back in October. 

    I really hope they repeat the deal where they had a much larger selection for a few days earlier this month. If I hadn't already used my Jan. coupon, I would have grabbed Lycan 9 then. Not that I regret picking up the Sylvia & Tara character bundles practically back to back on Christmas and New Year's Day. I have been having a lot of fun with them.

    Might be another case of "you still haven't bought anything"?

    There's also a flash sale tile up on the main shop page, but I don't find it impressive. YMMV.

     With 8 tokens and some stacking, I'm getting 97% off on some G8 poses I already had in my cart. I haven't investigated further, but for me, it's worth a look.

    The prices of most items on my WL are far better than the recent WL sale, with some items 97% off.  I'm really loving this flash sale!

    Awesome! Glad others can get use of it! 

  • There are some truly shocking deals in this flash sale, including bundles.

    Agreed. Even without tokens (well, I have 1), I got some items down to 95% off with a cheap buy-in of a Daz+ item from last Friday (I am a plus member). Harlow 9 (in his case, it's not the bundle, just the char) is $5.7, and it's the lowest I've ever seen him at. Given that I also have my $6 off DOs coupon left, Daz might get some money of out me today. :) 

  • maikdeckermaikdecker Posts: 2,752

    seems the flashsale is additive to the other sales that are going on right now. A really nice surprise and a great present from DAZ wink

  • Wow this is a pretty aggressive flash sale with a lot of different things.  I'm surprised at all the bundles, too.  I wasn't going to spend today but, yeah, there goes that!

  • TomhipTomhip Posts: 426

    Yeah that Mega Flash sale was crazy good. Took a big dip in my wishlist :D

  • SilverGirlSilverGirl Posts: 1,064

    Wish this was a couple weeks ago when I had tokens to burn... definitely would've indulged. They didn't give me anything to inspire me to spend my money then, though, so looks like it stays in my pocket now, too.

    There's always another sale.

    I don't know what you have on your wishlist. It's a pretty good sale! I didn't spend much because I;m still drowning in holiday swag. Even so, I got no tokens, no membership, nothing. I still got 92% off some PA items, most notably https://www.daz3d.com/bw-cairo-grace-outfit-for-genesis-9-genesis-8-and-81-female and https://www.daz3d.com/stone-throne

    Most pleased with the item sniping tonight! I'm patiently waiting for deals on https://www.daz3d.com/hid-raina-for-genesis-9 and https://www.daz3d.com/xi-superhero-muscle-car . March Madness, I reckon!
