    For folks not paying much attention there is some fat discounts you can get on Artists today 91% on items with Premier and 8 tokens.

    The Artists, Quick picks and Flash selection has a lot of overlap, just look for things showing with 10% discount. 5 overlapping Quick picks will also discount New items to 61%.

    From where I sit, your prerequisites are disqualifiers. Sad and true.

    She was a fantastic, tiny, spitfire of a woman, and also (I am convinced) part hobbit. When her arthritis made it too hard for her to crush the Oreos for one of the desserts she liked to make, she just triple bagged the cookies in some bread sacks and backed over them with the car a couple times, because just not making it wasn't even an option. She and my grandfather traveled the world after they retired, and her measuring stick for whether she wanted to go back to a place a second time was generally how good the food was.

    Without any buy-in or tokens, I've been able to get 86% off of the Flash PAs. That's pretty decent IMHO.

    Obviously, she was outstanding!  That's an inventive solution to the crushed oreos problem. Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

    Good point! I'm seeing 84% on some PA items that interest me. That's good enough for an impulse buy.

    I'm really liking today's flash sale!  The sale says 60% off Flash PAs, but I'm getting 86% off of some of them. Best of all, that's without any buy-in.

    Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't even look at those sales, because the prices weren't posted.

    Don't forget there's still a gift card deal on the oldest featured sale page if you need to charge up. (the Persona Preset, Auto Save sale with the figure silhouettes & green and gray background)

    Now that the selection has switched, my cart shows ZERO % discount on every item I have tried. Forget this! Not even going to bother to post in the reporting thread because it's Saturday night.

     

    Edited to try & eliminate evidence I am a total space cadet.

    It's still Saturday night here. Superbowl is tomorrow night. Sale is mucked up, though  :(

    I got confused, been a rough, long day at work. I just popped back to edit.

    No matter. I hope the night hours are kinder than the day! 

  • 3DSaga3DSaga Posts: 480

    Yes, hopefully the next batch works better than this one.

    ...yeah I just put an item in my cart (Cyber Tank by Midnight_Stories) and it shows up  at the full price even though the page mentions there is over 5 hours to go for this group

    It occurs with some stores, but not all.

    not sure about this flash sale--most do not discount even in my cart. I did have some at 86% off in my cart this morning but when I went back they had dropped to 60. Now, i get 64 on the ones that are marked 10% off already. and nothing off on the rest. I've tried. I'm not about to try every artist to see if one of them clicks for more. 

  • xyer0xyer0 Posts: 6,059

    The official response to this issue is not unlike the one I would expect if they didn't care.

  • 3Diva3Diva Posts: 11,748

    Yeah the flash sale doesn't seem to be applying. I tried several different artists and none of them are showing up at 60% off in the cart.

  • 3DSaga3DSaga Posts: 480

    It's nighttime now for DAZ. Hopefully they'll have tomorrow's sales sorted out.  This one is pretty much tanked.

    True, but also the weekend. I wouldn't expect geat things. Hopefully Monday will be better. I've got some tokens from that nice flash sale that expire on Tuesday, and it would be nice to use them with he monthly coupon(s).

    It baffles me why they keep doing these rotating ones on the weekends, as they seem to be so terribly glitchy. Why not just put up something basic and stable (but preferably attractive) that's more likely to work, and have it cover both days?

     

  • caravellecaravelle Posts: 2,508

    With glitches or without: this rotating sale is uninteresting for me because it is not clear which PA shops have reduced prices on which products at what time. But of course I have nothing better to do than spend hours clicking through all the shops or through the complete list (approx. 7,900 items in my case!)... Unfortunately, sales like this have been on the increase at Daz recently.

    And then putting anything that interests you in your cart to see if the price changes, and if it does if it's enough, and then probably taking it back out when it doesn't/isn't.

    They also seem to have removed the double dipping from overlapping Final and Featured artists, now its either 60% or 64% off.

    The 10% seems to not apply even if you have Final New item, and the 5 quick picks do not discount Final New items either, yeah its broke :D

  • The current set IS getting the 60% off from my spot checking. That's not enough to pique my interest - much less get me to buy - and neither are the few 50% items in my WL. So I will do something else today.

    This sale was a lot more entertaining when it was popping 84% off on PA items. I assume there was some sort of hidden stacking, Sadly, the time has passed and so has my interest. This is all just stuck in a holding pattern 'til MM, anyway. And I already got more stuff than I can use, so I really should go play somewhere else. frown

    I just noticed that most of Mec4D's stuff has been bought by Daz, not sure when, maybe it was a while ago and I didn't notice? I went to her website and the online store portion is not working anymore. And then I see that she hasn't posted here or anywhere in a long time. Did she retire from the 3D business?

    She's been posting at the Hivewire3D forum.

    Orange banner up, 30% off 3 items with code (no gift cards alas).

    I don't see attractive enough pricing for 30% off to make any difference. YMMV.

    Heads up that it also seems to be a timed offer, expiring at the top of the hour, 14:00 MST. I got a countdown at the top of my cart when I added something and used the coupon code. If you want to take advantage of it, I'd be quick! laugh
