I ended up participating in the DAZ round 2 one. There were a number of items on sale at 50% off so I said "why not?" To avoid all the check out problems (I use Paypal) I bought a $100 gift certificate and made around 11 separate purchases. On the grab bag side I got one item I was considering buying, two more that were useful but I probably wouldn't have bought, and the rest were along the lines of "do I really want to spend the time and disk space to install these?" The items weren't bad mind you, but the chances of me ever rendering a homecoming queen scene with a Tiara, or use an M3 clown these days are really remote. Did the grab bag promotion spur me to buy more items? No. Which was sort of my point. The 50% and 60% off of items I could use was what got me to buy, not the grab bag promotion.

A 5% off gift certificate promotion would spur me to buy too (hint, hint) :P
