"deals"

Postby **LITT** » Mon Jul 16, 2018 12:51 pm

yes, deals

Their "deals" never lasted long enough for anyone to really notice for the past few years. I'll pay attention, but I won't waste my time again.

This bears worth repeating:

I don't plan on buying anything unless I see something cool or useful at a good price. I would, however, highly recommend the Keepa Amazon price tracker plugin (https://keepa.com). Having historical prices show up in each product's page has been a massive positive to my shopping experience.

Their pricing on Amazon devices is strong, but yeah, they have not let many deals leak. They're also starting Prime Day way later than in the past (a 3pm EST start time is absurd).

Actually they are starting earlier considering tomorrow is the full day of it.

lol, what? Prime Day starts today. There's no spinning that.

Today at 3pm is the start, unless you're getting technical about what constitutes a "day."

If someone sees a microphone that would be good for talking during YouTube videos, drop me a line...not that I won't look myself, but I often don't understand how these things work...

Just plug a speaker into your mic port.

Nothing but a crashed website for me. So a pretty typical PrimeDay.

Postby **NTP66** » Mon Jul 16, 2018 3:13 pm

Their app crashed, but the normal site works fine for me. There are some really good deals if you're in the market for specific items. None for me so far.

6 qt instapot is on sale pretty cheap. Might snag that.

Postby **NTP66** » Mon Jul 16, 2018 3:17 pm

They must make a killing on the Instapot, because it's always one of the main deals. Nearly 50% off right now (it has been $100 the last 365 days, minus Black Friday, etc.).

Can't access anything. Probably a sign to just stay away.

Postby **count2infinity** » Mon Jul 16, 2018 3:24 pm

I can only access the "spotlight" deals on the main screen. The rest of it is busted.

Postby **NTP66** » Mon Jul 16, 2018 3:35 pm

If you go to one of the spotlight deals, you can then search from the bar up top (just select “from Prime Deals” in the drop-down).

Nothing but GD dogs.

I got a fire TV half off that is all I really wanted. I didn't even really need it, but will replace the fire stick I have on the porch with it.

Do you use your Fire as your main source of video? If so, the main issue I found with the FireTV won’t apply to you.

I was thinking about replacing my original fire stick. $20 is pretty cheap.

Postby **NTP66** » Mon Jul 16, 2018 4:15 pm

The newer Fire devices are all better hardware than the original, IMO. Snappier interface, which makes for a better experience.

On the porch TV it would be.. well that and the chromecast. Don't have a FIOS box out there, so I use it for Netflix/Amazon Prime/WWE Network and Kodi stuff(Firestick is jailbroken). The TV on my porch is a Vizio set before smart tv's were really a thing.

Well, I tried to buy the instant pot... it was the 6 qt one for $60. I added it to my cart, went to check out, it disappeared, and now I can't get it in my cart anymore.

Well done, Amazon.

Amazon Kindle unlimited is .99¢ for 3 months. That seems like a good deal, not sure if it works for comics, but that would be awesome

I add **** to my cart then my cart says 0 items.
