Its About PROPS

There are sooo many props ... I will present a few. Please add your favorites. Maybe we can find some cool stuff we overlooked in the past.
I'm going to start with the retro computers by Merlin Studios. These bring back a lot of memories.
There are 2 sets

Props huh? this is a must have for me. Porsimo's Modern weapons https://www.daz3d.com/modern-weapons-collection-2
Lots of options for each rifle, hand poses and nice textures, I use it often
that is mighty handsome
If I post most of my props here I will be ban :P

These are two useful ones I can post though haha
One of the single most useful sets of items ever sold at DAZ. I've built everything from Crayola markers to electical towers and Jetson's style space cities with this awesome collection.

I can see where these would keep me busy for a long time
UberSimple - Gems and Glass Merchant Resource is one of my faves. It's mostly a shader set but comes with individual gem and crystal props in different cuts, and they're all really nice. I'm always finding new uses for them.
Plus, they're great for keeping your cats occupied.
I'd have to say, everything in Maclean's Everyday series:
I have most of these, and what I don't own is in my wishlist.
There are many other props from other vendors I love and use, but for adding that touch of reality to a render, I turn to the "everyday".
First, two of the maclean prop Everyday packs are in Fast Grab today. Totally agree with everyone, maclean is the best for props of this type.
My thanks to @plasma_ring to bringing UberSimple - Gems and Glass Merchant Resource to my attention. Wishlisted.
A pose pack for G2F, that is under Daz Originals now, https://www.daz3d.com/premium-sitting-poses has a simple chair and table included that works for G8 perfectly in today's poses. I can't say how frustrating it is, to see a sitting pose, and search for a chair that it might work with. I still have to move the G2F poses up to G8F, but they are excellent, everday poses.
Also love Maclean's stuff, especially the morphing primitives! So useful for any kind of render, but especially fun when constructing your own robots! It's cheap, too!
There are actually FOUR of his Everyday products in fast grab today.
there a 4 of them in fastgrabs today
I'm seeing a lot of things I need to pick up. Thanks so far. Keep em coming
Wow I had no clue about Maclean's products. I will have to pick those up. Be nice if they did a bundle or discount on Maclean's whole store say this weekend...
What's even better about Maclean is that he's one of the few vendors who's been going back and upgrading his older products to Iray at no additional charge.
Yeah I noticed a few of the items store pages didn't indicate iray so was looking at how difficult it would be to convert over. Some very quality looking content for sure.
Another set of incredibly useful items that are considered props by the DAZ store. Think shadowcatchers are useful? take it to the next level by converting your HDRIs into props and interactive sets:

Thanks for all the kind words, peeps! It's great to know customers get a bang for their buck from my products.
Re updates and Iray. For anyone who's wondering, I'm slowly updating all the older Everyday products, so any which haven't been done yet, will definitely be updated at some point. I'd also like to point out that I don't just add an Iray version to them. I rebuild most of the props to make the geometry cleaner/better, tweak the textures and materials, and wherever possible, add some new props to the packs.
Another pair of products that I use constantly for set dressing. Nothing sells a set as a real world enviornment better than discarded and folded clothing (that you didn't even have to dforce.)

My goodness! Do you remember Craftsman tools from Sears or something? Your kind of product support and quality went out of style last century. Thanks for making our lives easier!
