I've done a Wishlist Detox

So, I've spent a lot of money on DAZ stuff this last week crying Mostly Filatoon/Filament/G9 items, but also some other stuff from my wishlist.

Today I took a hard look at what's left of my wishlist and I threw out a lot. Basically everything that's "I don't really need this... in fact, I have something very similar already... but this new one is sooo nice and shiny!" ... all those items are off my wishlist now.

What's left are items that would actually add something to my (already very extensive) library. A trim 52 items!

Feels good, would recommend!

    Every once in a while, I'll go through 100+ pages of items included in some sale category or another, and I find myself doing the same thing.

    I'm keeping my wishlist to under 30 items for the same reason. If it gets to 31, I delete something, maybe several somethings. I have one or two 'looks interesting' things on my list, a few to remind me of pose sets I want to do for myself and one or two to gaze at in awe to remind myself how far my modelling ability needs to go. The rest are mostly Linday, Mousso and Arryn items because I have so many of theirs that I can't currently justify buying, but will if the price is right. Probably. Regards, Richard.

    Alternatively ... I have no idea how long my wishlist is, if I like it at the time (and it's not an immediate buy): in it goes. But I order by price and only look at items below a certain price. Occaisionally a nice suprise bubbles up from the $25 range, other times what bubbles up is more "what was I thinking" - and delete ;-)

    That's valid, I used my wishlist like that too for a while.

    I'm always going through my wishlist 2 or 3 times a year. Instant like gets wishlisted and then I go back and take a closer look.

    I have 2635 items on my list, but buy by price threshold too. I put everything I like on my wishlist since sometimes there are wishlist sales (or coupons) and I can get items at approx 90% off. Due to the recent sales I have purchased 95% of all JoLab1985 , Josh Crockett , Lilflame , and  Sveva that I had wishlisted.

    This is me, plus a lot of stuff I see and think "Hmm, potentially at some point I might maybe need this."  I have the things I'm actually keeping an eye out for bookmarked. The wishlist itself is a holding tank. If there's an especially good sale going I'll look through it under X price to see if there are surprises, but that's pretty rare.

    If the store search functionality wasn't a flaming bag of doggie poo I would have a far, FAR smaller wishlist because I'd have faith that I wouldn't have to spend hours trying to find "that one thing, I know I saw it somewhere..." again... but here we are.

    I've been shopping at Daz3D for many many years so my wish list is MASSIVE. But then they have awesome sales that include extra discounts on wishlist items and then I'm happy I have a really large selection of wishlisted items to pick from. lol But yeah, some of the items are stuff I added years ago and my tastes are different than they used to be, so it probably wouldn't hurt to do some purging of stuff I probably don't need or wouldn't use these days.

    I've long given up on using the wishlist for its intended purpose, and keep track of my real wishlist another way. The random wishlist sales create enough value that anything I might potentially ever buy goes straight to the wishlist.

    I'm trying to keep my list about 100 items or below, I usually put something on it with a certain project in mind but sometimes the project has outlived itself

  • MasterstrokeMasterstroke Posts: 1,970

    I keep my wishlist based on projects. 
    Right now, I only have 1 item in my wishlist.

    I used to do these detox, but recently I just put everything I remotely want in my wishlist, because of the wishlist sales that require the items to be added to the wishlist before the sales date.

    I got near 1400 items on my list. I don't care if I get them all. It's just an indicator of interest. There's over 50k items in the store. So 1400 isn't really that much. I regularly drop stuff off and add other things. That often makes it easier for me to shop a sale. Cheers to the folks with near empty lists. It's probably a better plan. I'm just not doing that.

    My wishlist has thousands of items but practicaly speaking only the 1st couple of pages, sorted by newest adds, get used on occasion. I relay on the store search, which isn't so great, to search for genres I specifically want.
