  • Another thing that bothers me about not just these 2 extensions but also last weekend's catchup is that a handful of GTs got several extra days in that category.

    just noticed just about everything that was at 65% off in my WL is no longer on sale, so that pretty much ends it. 

    Well, yesterday was a catch-up, all-in day and today is a standard day so it is to be expected that a lot of items that were included yesterday are not today.

    but its an extension of the PA sale, so the same? It has a new GT..the 30% banner still there, and the overall format the same as before. Obviouly the vendors changed though.  

    Yes, but the items with discounts will be the items in featured stores/categories - yesterday that was pretty much everything, today (as on regular days earlier in the sale) it is only a subset of PAs.

    Agreed! Not happy about it. But hey! Saves me some money, too. Anyway, I think I'm done for a while. enlightened Happy shopping to everyone.

    I "bought" the two Daz+ freebies and moved on to render what I already own.

    Yes, I too have been enjoying trying out my new assets from the sale (and it's nice to finally have the time to devote to DAZ- no more brutal commute at 3AM).

    OH NO - another WEEK? And then its the weekend so wil it get extended again? I'm really over this one already too. There's always another sale. Bring it on. At least there's new stuff today, but I'm a pass on all of it, including the GT. 

    Just wait for the weekend... I bet there'll be another Catch-Up Weekend then...

    The final 24 hours! Tricked ya it's really the final final 24 hours! Tricked ya again it's really another full week before the final final final 24 hours! Tricked ya again it's really --

    Rugpull marketing is feeling a bit predatory. I hope the marketing team recognizes there's a symbiosis here - since there's real money involved, honesty goes further in the long run.

    I'm grateful for some deep discounts this cycle and I appreciate most of the Golden Ticket picks being useful, interesting stuff! Happy to see another week of those. :)

    I don't like such false countdowns, but I'm glad there's an extra week.

    It seems to be a Halloween theme this week and I love today’s golden ticket.

    But I have spent too much money, and I even want to cry, unless there are more extra discounts.

    there it is, a GC sale ... 
    I'm at a loss with today's GT item...what is this a waterfall, hair, what exactly?

     Seriously, they're like drug dealers.

    You know you want one.

    Just one.

    Just this time.

    Well I was hoping for one but.... 19%... maybe a small one ^^

  • MelanieLMelanieL Posts: 7,369

    Well I succumbed to the GC (with the cheapest Daz+ item from Still New, which I wasn't planning to buy but it got me an extra few dollars. Wish I could have justified a bigger GC, but I'm already into my Daz budget for November! And maybe there will be an even better one during the Daz+ sale (crosses fingers) in which case I can break into December's too.

    Yeah, This is definitely the temptation of the devil and I need to get off drugs. 

    In fact, I just purchased the 20% off gift card ten days ago. I have a good reason to resist the temptation.I just need to persist in my will to survive 24 hours.

    How is any of this bad? I just grabbed 11 items that I have had no intentions of buying, but ended up with a whole slew of new ideas for imaging, and all of them were under 4 bucks, most being under 3 dollars!

    I could have spent that money on vegetables, though, but half of my veggies always end up rotten before I can get to them, anyway. This, for me, has no chance of waste.

    Now, having said that, may I ask - just out of curiosity - when the heck IS this going to stop? Compiling promos and data for everything I purchased in this sale is going to take me until the next September sale!

    ...saw the Grace Yacht and it immediately went into the cart.  I have been looking around for a more "classic" style seagong yacht (I read up on the original one this is based off of) rather than the ultra modern ones in the store.  It was one of those rare times when I snap up a new release as I've purchased a number of golden ticket items and with the "30 for 30" offer still active, couldn't resist..

    No bundle today... Have any Daz Originals (other than the usual Daz+ items) released this week? I hope Daz isn't doing that stupid thing where they randomly release a bundle on Friday instead of Thursday.

    I don't always shoot for eight tokens, but I do attempt to make desired purchases on days for which the resulting tokens will last through Thursday when possible. Pushing a bundle to Friday doesn't mean that I'll pay the higher price for it after my tokens expire - instead I'll simply skip it.

    Stick to the expected schedule or lose the sale, Daz.

    There were some last week, but so far none this week. But it's the PA sale, so it's not that surprising.

    This is a special sale for PA's in which there will be no or very few DO's for the most part do to wanting to highlight the PA's sales.

    It seems like we usually see some loose/unbundled DOs when there isn't a bundle releasing. So the lack of them has me thinking "bundle" - but releasing off the expected schedule would be annoying.

    But who knows - maybe it'll just be some random DOs from various artists tomorrow, or none at all.

    Sadly no bundle today.  I have 8 tokens waiting to be used that will expire on Sunday so I'm hoping maybe we get a surprise one tomorrow.  However, I DO like the Minimalist Villa!

    What is this concept of a "budget" you speak of? :P

    A budget is something that happens when you want to buy something but the ammount of money you have to buy it with stubbornly remains insufficient, no matter how hard you try to budge it.

    ...bugger, I was at an event today. got home at around 20:00 and had to do a bit of grocery shipping, after which I made dinner, watched the news and caught up on emails.  In the process I totally spaced that I had items in the cart, one of which was Lady Goo who with all the stacked discounts was only 6.62$ .  When I realised that judt a short while ago I checked the cart and the price was back up to the normal 20.99$.(Daz "Zero Hour" comes at 23:00 for me as I am on the West coast) I had hoped that artist's store  would have remained on the Featured artists list, but nope, just for one day. Usually an artist's store would be kept on the list for a couple days.

    With Friday being the definitive "last day" of this sale, no hope of ever seeing that price again as likely the 30 for 30 banner will go away along with the discount for having a Golden Ticket item. 

    Maybe she might show up on a Lightning Deal someday but that is so hit or miss as I have other things to do than just baby-sit the store page..

    Seriously bummed..frown

    Last GT item. I'd be surprised if it's the last day. Has that been said anywhere?

    Lady Goo isn't a Daz Original. If she gets a discount over the weekend again (possible going by Daz patterns), don't hold back for hope of seeing her on a lightning deal (you never will).

    ...would be nice if there is a final ketchup sale.this weekend and all the PA stores are back on sale (as well as the 30 for 20 banner hangs around)..

    From what I observed, PAs are featured artists for a couple of days only when they have released something new in the previous couple of days, and in this case, they are part of the big icon list.

    Otherwise, they usually were only on the name only list for one day from time to time, outside of catchup days where most of them would return (not necessary all).

    I would keep your hope up for at least until tomorrow: it would not be that surprising to see a final catchup week-end and maybe Mechaasar will be part of the artists getting back for one last raid on our poor wallets laugh

    I was happy to see a new GT today. I was able to remove the ugly spider and put in its place a beautiful figure. I missed the GC sale couple days ago. Had it in my cart but then totally forgot about it. 19% additional off is pretty decent. 
    My only concern now is that the DAZ+ sale will start Monday and I try to grab the last few WL items at pretty low cost with the banner 30% off, and they're 65% off already. If I spend too much it will put me off budget for the DAZ+ sale.
