The only reason I really think any of us should feel foolish about having bought something full price here or DAZ or any other site would be if there had been enough forethought on both parties (creator & site) to know that such a future price cut was going to be available. Did Dark Whisper/3D Universe forsee their stuff being integrated into DAZ at much reduced prices? Did the hankster?? I doubt it. If we paid $24 (or whatever price) for something, then we felt the item was very well worth the price. It's not fair to yourself 1/2/3/4 months down the road to kick yourself in the head or feel foolish for having spent money on something you wanted and afforded at that time. Nor is it fair to expect a company, after it's bought the rights to an item, to price it comparably. They could have made it a much more expensive item if they had a mind to! Heck, we all may as well never buy anything for fear of it being cheaper in the future. ;)

As far as the PC goes - a lot of the free stuff they gave away for a renewal, I already had. So did many other people. I'm not gonna worry about it. Not to mention a lot of the products that have become PC items. What I've saved for what I spent to be a PC member and PC member purchases far outweighs any possible dissappointment I would have over what I 'could have' saved if I had precognition.
