Found Deals and Discounts / Does Donationcoder have a post(s) containing main s/w deals sites?

« on: July 21, 2015, 07:59 PM »

I hope this isn't a "repost" type of posting.

I hadn't found any "all encompassing" list(s),  that mention websites where one can obtain free and/or deeply discounted software.
I mean besides the list with arranged member discounts (https://www.donation.../Specials/index.html),
Besides the many individual posts about single software deals.

Myself, I review the deals mentioned throughout the Donationcoder forum.
I thought it would be cool if a sort of "Big Software Discount List" might be assembled, to help others searching for discounts/deals.
Naturally websites with "ongoing, everyday deals" are best.

I have also found that there are some software vendors who regularly run scheduled discount promotions, but only a select few times a year.  Many now have "Black Friday through Christmas" discounts, "New Years" discounts, 4th of July, software company's Birthday/anniversary sale.

My list so far is:
1. donationcoder
2. Bitsdujour - mainly payware with discounts, but now offering sevral freebies throughout each week.
3. SOS or Sharewareonsale.com - about half freebies and half payware.
4. colormango.com - payware at all sorts of various discounts. A good place to search for any paid software(s) that you cannot find discount   codes for.
5. GAOTD - seems anemic when compared to sites like SOS. (SOS is like having a a week's worth of GAOTD offers, all at one time).

The next are mostly for web designers , but still some software items. Especially software items of importance to webdesign types.
6. Dealfuel.com - mostly "web designer stuff" , but still several software products at any given time.

7. Mightydeals.com - another "mostly web designer stuff", but a few software sale items at any given time.

I like DTSearch quite a bit except that the initial indexing takes several hours.
Plus you need lots of HDD space to store the index files produced by DTSearch.

But for speed of a search term look-up, it is almost instantaneous.

Fortunately I got a few copies of DTSearch a couple years ago, when it would sell on Ebay, in a retail box, for anywhere from
$25 to $65.
I haven't noticed it on Ebay in quite some time. Not sure if the DTSearch company requested that Ebay no longer accept seller listing for it or what.
I still keep perusing Ebay every month or so in hopes some seller will list a copy or two.

Seems that Win Iso is still running their 50% to 78% off sale (been over a year now with discount code  GSTVOUISO). 

Purchase price of a quantity of 1 is $14.97 [50% off]
Purchase price of quantities of either 2 to 5 is only $10 per copy [66% off]
Purchase price of quantities of 11 or more is only $6.47 each [78% off]

Website page is here:  Link

The discount code is   GSTVOUISO

Note: There is currently a 20% off discount code being applied, taking price from $29.95 to $20.95.
But a 50% to 78% discount is much much better. So......
On the order form place a tick mark in the box next to "I have a discount code" and then be sure to enter
discount code  GSTVOUISO
