    @ladair  Great choices! 

    Here's for today. Mainly went for sets but that bundle was too good a deal to pass up.

    I've had that bundle in my wishlist since it came out. I haven't checked out yet, but this is what I expect to buy with the MADNESS-2020 coupon:

    Yesterday I got:

    Leony Character, Clothing and Hair Bundle   $9.11

    DAZ Dragon 3 Pro Bundle  $14.87

    Mesh Grabber  $8.99

    Subtotal $219.85

    Discount -$74.65

    Store Credit -$32.97

     

    Charlene Character, Hair & Clothing Bundle  $11.90

    Harwood House $9.44

    Subtotal $83.90

    Discount -$29.00

    Store Credit -$21.34

    And

    Forests Trees and Grass World Building Set  $4.40

    Subtotal $20.95

    Discount -$1.89

    Store Credit -$4.40

    Today I am probably getting: (thinking of maybe replacing one of them with European Apartment. That has also been in my wishlist for a long time and while I don't need it as soon as the hairdos, it's considerably more expensive)

               $26.95 $3.88 86%

    I had these ponytail type hairdoes from OOT in my wishlist since forever and I really need them for a project.

    The Daz Dragon, Mesh Grabber and the Harwood House I couldn't pass over since they got so cheap.

    Here's my Big Bargain as an attachment in that image.

    Prior two days I got 100% off instead since I only used the $10 coupons those days.

    I have been wanting both the Ultimate Dog Bundle & Dragon 3 Pro Bundle for years now.

    Sure, within the next hour or so. I just got back online. :)  Is that too late?

  • jewels99jewels99 Posts: 30

    @Novica. No, that's perfect.  Thank you!

    Beckett (G8F)      Amelia Hair (G8F)     dForce Cornibus Outift (G8F) 

    Man, that outfit is WEIRD but cool. One more render of that coming, then I'll do her differently. Note- I sharpened her in postwork, the lips aren't that harsh per se. I like those type of lines with more sinister/unique characters. There's more coming of Beckett, in a normal-person mode.

    So I tried different approaches with that headset and experimented with hair poking through on purpose. Unless you enlarge the entire headpiece (which makes it seem ill-fitting to me by the eyes, it sticks out way too far) I had trouble finding a hair to stay under there. (Stick with buzz cuts.)  This was Casual Spikes Hair. (G3/G8)

    Like L'Adair, I went for dForce Classic Fur Cape and Textures Bundle and I was very very tempted by the European Style Apartment (a steal at that price) but I do mostly fantasy-type renders so I decided against (it looks wonderful, and I have Strangefate/Roguey's fantasy room and inn). Instead I picked up SIckleYield's dForce Capes set (can't have too many capes!)

    Beckett (G8F)      dForce Anne Candy Dress    Courtney Hair (G3F/ G8F) 

    Keep in mind, if you don't like those reall plump lips, they are very easy to thin down. :)  I had wishlisted Beckett as I think the eye color options are really diverse and detailed, and she has an exotic look which just appealed to me. The eyebrows are also plausible, not sticky looking or lawn mowered. Hope this helps :)

    Thanks for showing her, her main promo looks awkward at best,  and you show her much better IMO.

  • NovicaNovica Posts: 23,887

    @wonderland    @melanieL  Really good choices. I had wishlisted those other capes and will pounce on them in the near future hopefully. The All Sweet Fashion Poses look good too.

    She's got the best fiber brows I've seen yet, hopefully the other vendors will catch up...

    What is the Stack Up Sale supposed to be?  When I click the “shop now” button it just gives me the page with the New products and the coupons don’t work.  I’ve tried it with older products and get the same thing.  Am I missing something?

    It is for interactive licenses only and not the actual products. Are you trying to buy the add on interactive license?

    In the end I replaced Lainey hair with the European Apartment. I have plenty of straight hairs for now but not that many apartments.

    My current VN is set in our time so I am focusing on modern stuff but anything fantasy or medieval I can get at a low price I snatch for future projects.

    It's for the interactive license :(, not for the products themselves.

    I've long decided that the fiberbrows provided by the merchants with the characters are not sufficient for my needs so I went and got https://www.daz3d.com/super-natural-brows-merchant-resource-for-genesis-8-and-3-female . I am very happy with them.

    There are also these brows: https://www.daz3d.com/beautiful-brows-for-genesis-8-females but I prefer morphable ones to a lot of preset ones.

    Thanks for the clarification.  I seem to have a major problem figuring these sales out.

    Good choice on the European Apartment, wonderful set.

    Remember to check the Daz Facebook for additional savings. 

  • firewardenfirewarden Posts: 1,482

    I guess I'm blind. I'm not seeing anything on Facebook.

    I am sad, however, that due to being under the weather from the flu, I decided to be quick and choose early for the coupon for today. Multiple items in the list were "New" and had no discount, the ad said New items were excluded... Sad face. I wanted those. So I dutifully ignored them and got other stuff. Then they changed the sale to include those items. Some days you can't win for losing. Yet another sad face.

    At least there will be another sale tomorrow.

  • NovicaNovica Posts: 23,887

    PM'd you @firewarden. Anyone else can PM me too, I'll be online.

  • barbultbarbult Posts: 24,244
    What did they change about the coupon sale items?
  • NovicaNovica Posts: 23,887

    I have no idea. I did PM a lot of folks for the Facebook coupon, if you didn't get a PM, contact me. I am dealing with Ci Pwff, putting birds to bed, etc. cheeky

  • barbultbarbult Posts: 24,244
    I did see a post about the Facebook coupon, so don't worry about that.

    The 60% coupon on the March Madness sales page still excludes new releases. I think it may be the Facebook coupon that included new releases, but it didn't work for me regardless of what I tried. Not that I really needed anything else after the codes yesterday and today… It just keeps getting harder to fill the cart. Or so it seems.

    OK, since this is largely a shopping for bargain thread there is this that some maybe be interested in.

    So PayPal.com just showed me an ad to join "Honey" as an ad, coupon and best deal shopping aggregater for members.  Since it is free I went ahead even though it meant I had to install a "Honey" extension in my browser and create yet another account at yet another web site!.

    So the Honey extension installed I wondered if they'd have any coupons for me on the obscure to most DAZ3D.com site. So I go to my already loaded DAZ3D.com cart page and the Honey extension tells me there are up to 11 coupons I can try on that cart and do I want Honey to find the best coupon for that cart? I said sure & it does and eventually it finds and tells me the Madness-2020 is the best coupon and applies it but because the DAZ3D.com website is so slow the coupon failed to apply by the extension & I had to apply it manually. It did find the right coupon that gave the biggest discount though. 

    It also means that everything I buy though Amazon, PayPal, Walmart, DAZ3D, and so on the business called Honey will know. Not that that bothers me as most of those places already data warehouse customer data for resale and have been at least since the 70s, probably earlier if you count S&H Greenstamps and such shopping incentive rewards. Yes, I (actually mom & her waitress friends) actually saved up enough S&H Greenstamps to be a Emerson Transistor Radio and was drive 60 miles round trip to buy it! Times have changed for sure! The ideal of driving 60 miles for a transistor radio let alone saving stamps long enough to buy such a radio but it was fun.

    Here's my bargain for today & it leaves my March Madness over with before it's even March! laugh

    I didn't plan to spend $66 on March Madness at all but the coupons practically speaking let me buy what'd I've been waiting for quite a while now with the right discounts.

    Did you research Honey? Who makes it?  Remnds me of how some popular things can have unintended consequences. Tik Tok?  Don't use it!
