And a good thing they were very inexpensive, because in yet another Week or Two they have faded into oblivion.
Seems like the Hype of the Latest and Greatest is what fuels the buying frenzy.
I wouldn't call Emotiguy a "buying frenzy." I bet most people didn't buy anything for him. I know I didn't. (Though I loved the freebies people made for him.)
They did post a lot of images, but I think that's because he's a toon character. People lower their standards a bit when they're posting humorous images. They don't spend two weeks messing with the lighting and the pose, then still worry it's not good enough. It may seem like suddenly everyone's obsessed with Emotiguy, but how much time and money are they really spending?
I think that 30% off introduction price really plays on many customers heads. Almost makes them feel guilty for not buying the item. Thinking I may want this later on and I would feel bad paying Full price. So on the off chance that I may want it later, I will buy it now and save.
Not me. At this point, I've come to realize that there will always be another sale at DAZ. And that you can get it for as much as 50% off, or even free, if you wait.
I suspect I'm not the only one, because DAZ keeps offering better deals. These days, many of their products are introduced at 70% off or more. (The toonimal elephant, the new MilBaby, the toon penguin, etc.) I would not have bought Nybras at 30% off. But for $1.40? Why not?
