Official AMAZON PRIME DAY (July 15th) Bargains and Purchases Thread (2 Viewers)

[Michael Elliott]

I guess it really depends on what you're looking for. Black Friday and Cyber Monday rarely have anything I want. People at work were buying stuff left and right all day from Amazon but the only thing I ended up buying was a Buca di Beppo $25 gift card for $5 off. My girlfriend and I eat there all the time so it was a no brainer.


I was hoping to get another Amazon Fire Stick for another room but that sale is long gone. It looks like they'd offer more of these just to get people to sign up for Prime, get a cheap device and perhaps buy other things while this sale is going on.

I think the problem with this sale is that Amazon has so many items and appeals to so many people that, barring having literally thousands of sales on thousands of different types of items at all times today, it was going to be basically impossible to please anyone. Of course, they should have realized that when they promoted the sale as the biggest thing to ever happen.

I think the most compelling deal is the extra 15% off Amazon Warehouse Deals stock. I was THIS close to getting a "very good" condition Sony RX100m3 for ~$490. But I hesitated and presumably someone else grabbed it.

The Shittiest Deals on Amazon, according to Gizmodo.


I love the "Grow a beard, FAST!" item. I totally need this!


. . . .not.

I got a good deal on a water fountain for my cats. Otherwise, nothing so far.

Biggest trainwreck of all time Seriously here's things I wanted...


Bond 50

Twin Peaks Complete Mystery

Twilight Zone on Blu (need to replace some damaged discs)

Steven Spielberg Director's Collection (EDIT: Scratch that, 54.99!)

Alfred Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection

ANYTHING Criterion


...none of them have shown up in this sale (while XL shoehorns and gallons of lube have!)


But hey! I got a PSVita!

But what if I dont want to shave my Badger's hair?

 

[Lord Dalek]

I just love the early part of this thread. So much abject disappointment.!

 

[Tony J Case]

Disappointment? DISAPPOINTMENT!?!

A five pack of brass kuckles, a plate of ham AND a Diane Keaton shirt? THAT IS AWESOME!

 

[Johnny Angell]

A family pack of brass knuckles? You don't see that every day of the week!

 

[MaxMorrow]

A family pack of brass knuckles? You don't see that every day of the week!

In my house, they're usually reserved for Thanksgiving.

 

[Tony Bensley]

I LMFAO over the Brass Knuckles Family Pack! Well, I guess the Family that Brass Knuckles together...


And a Plate of Ham? Amazon really does sell everything!


But the Diane Keaton T-Shirt? That's just too weird and bizarre for words!!


CHEERS!

 

[Citizen87645]

I'm coming to the next HTF meet wearing the shirt, the brass knuckles and carrying a plate of ham.

The comments in this thread were a hell of a lot more interesting (and entertaining) than the deals.

A few things I have to say about the above article....


First of all, as much as I would like to dispute how well the sale actually went for Amazon, we saw the results directly at the Post Office I work for.


Our Amazon mail volume was double what it usually is. An Amazon driver told me that a mail facility in New York City that usually receives only 50 pallets of parcels a day, received 200 parcels.


That being said...


Anyone that spent the entire day watching the Amazon sale could tell you that it was flea market junk that was being sold.


Amazon's Prime Day Facebook page (which appears to have been removed) was filled with complaints and mockery towards the company.


In all, yes, they had MORE deals than Black Friday but that did not translate into BETTER deals.
