I agree, but the reason is very simple: This is part of the way renderosity gets profit. Rendo performs a cut on the artists sale (60%, reduced to 50% or even less if the vendor is a top seller) AND the artists pay to have their products promoted. According to Sickleyield this amounts in tens of dollars to have a product promoted and without that the sales are drastically reduced(Minor nitpick-why not remove the three top level sponsored items from lists like this? They just add price confusion)
I did in this case, 2$ price difference is not that much, and it is a small bundle with 4 items in it. I don't like the PA that much, but I never had a problem just buying something that I am curious about, checking it out and returning it if I don't like it.Is really anybody buying those 3.99garbagegrab bag things that used to be 1.99 without a buy-in?
On the Daz forums people are asking why the bundle seems to be missing at least one related item.I just wondered why the Pixie bundle seemed so bad compared to G8 pro bundle around the same price. Actually, there are three reasons: 1/ lesser number of items, 2/ more expensive items and 3/ much smaller bundle reduction.
I'm really liking the 'Pro Bundles for $5' with new bundle purchase idea-just wish the new bundles were something I would use.A new "dark fairy bundle" at daz3D. With all the stacking discounts, it is possible to get it for ~$24 (but YMMV) and you can buy 2 pro bundles for $5 each. Even if you are not interested by the Dark Fairy stuff, this make the pro bundle at ($24+2*$5)/2=$17, which is rather good, but not exceptional.
For what concerned the bundle it self, it is cheaper than Pixie ($100 base), has 6 items and an even poorer bundle discount. If you purchase independently the assets, the amount is $138, which, with a $100 bundle, only makes a 28% discount (while it was generally over 40% in the G8 area).
