How often are there sales on the shop?
Hello,
I ask this question because I am registred since few weeks only and I see there is a big sale now, with a lot of items sale to 65%, golden ticket items, etc... So I wondeer if this event is very unusual or if such events appen often in the shop.
Thank you in advance for your answer!

Depends what you think of as a Sale.
There is a sale of some sort (practically) every day - introducing new releases, normally with sales for PAs who have new items out that day.
There are (I think) five major sale events like the one we are currently seeing:
There are also a few special events like Easter/4th of July/Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Cyber Monday, which only last for a couple of days. This year they also ran a sale called "Christmas in July" for about a week.
They make it easy to spend money here!
Edit: Added a bit more detail
Waw! Indeed, I have to be careful!
Thank you very much!
The simple answer is "perpetually"... everything seems to go on sale eventually. I generally add stuff to my wishlist and buy stuff on sale when its a good amount off. That said, I have needed something in a pinch and just bought it not on sale.
The current sale is the craziest one I have ever seen. People who own a lot of models are getting additional savings and it is bananas. I have spent more in the past month than have spent in the past year.
EDIT: I just went and counted. Since August 30th I have bought 47 items LoL
There's sales all the time.
I wouldn't buy anything for 65% off, unless you're rich and/or very impatient.
I think 80% off is a good deal; it's possible to do even better if you're patient. Especially with DAZ Originals.
There are some PA's that go on sale less frequently than others, but that's the kind of stuff you start understanding if you've observed the store for a while.
If you're new, I'd err on the side of not spending too much, there's always another sale!
Within a 12 month period, one can get just about anything at 80-90% off (or even cheaper)
If one is building ones library or otherwise buying more than just one or two items per month, Daz+ membership is a must, which also gets discounted at times ($25-30 per year is not uncommon)
When hunting for good deals, checking the daily promotions, reading and understanding what has been written is very important
Make sure that you start by adding assets which you're interested in to your wishlist. This makes it easier to keep track on what's happening. Also check yoru settings to see if you enabled e-mail reminders.
Another thing... right now Daz3D is doing something I can only describe as: "purchasing extra discounts", and it's pretty neat IMO. Basically: with every purchase you aquire tokens or whatever they're called. These tokens can then be used to apply extra discount with your next purchase, depending on how much you have. Even so... it really helped me to scoop up some very solid deals this week.
I even got persuaded to grab both Micheal & Victoria 8.1 even though I already had 8. And I'm happy that I did :)
Hi, I just saw your answers, thank you verty much!
Do you mean these tokens are unusual? When I signed in, there were already tokens, so I thouht there were tokens all the year...
Well, at least unusual for me; this wasn't a thing last time I checked the store. But then again, that was several months ago.
They were introduced during March Madness and have been dropped twice, but came back after a few days.
Ah, ok, tank you very much!
