Amazon Prime Days

It's interesting that everything in my saved list has gone up 25% and more in price these last few days prior to Amazon Prime Days. It'll be interesting to see if any of them go down when prime day starts.

Can you explain a little more what Prime days are? Do you bid on stuff? Is it limited supply? I hear so many of my neighbors are excited and I’m embarrassed to say I haven’t a clue. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

No, you don't bid on stuff...it's a series of sales....similar to a bunch of TSV's or "black friday" deals. Amazon pushes their products heavily (alexa pod things, kindles) and other retailers that sell on Amazon also have deals and specials.

Nothing in my lists on Amazon went up in price. Strange

I'm thinking about buying a big TV---we still have our old 3,000lb DTV that is going great but so antique- my kids really laugh at me--and now I'm tired of it too. and also thought it might be good to buy one now before the tariff wars start, as those things are made in china.

Nothing on my lists has gone up either. Why would it? It's not like EVERYTHING on Amazon is going to go on sale. Some people really (after all this time) just don't understand Amazon or Prime. They don't understand the sheer size of Amazon or all the many benefits of Prime. Prime Day is the equivalent of having thousands of TSV's but everything won't be on sale.

There’s so many things that the Q sells is still less on Amazon. I just purchased the snoopy ( peanuts) throw by Berkshire for less considering s&h. I also was not charged sales tax, but I don’t know why. Im always compairing prices with Amazon etc.

I just wanted another De-humidifier and I didn't see those discounted. I'm a prime member and order a lot of 'stuff' from them (love that it's free delivery).

I love that just about everything can be ordered on line these days......

Amazon prices often change. Sometimes more; sometimes less. Of my 8 saved items, five have decreased and three have increased.

If I don’t need something right away, I hold off ordering at the higher price to see if it will come down again. Sometimes it does.

Where to make a list? AND how to know if it goes on sale?

@goldensrbest I just put the items in my cart and then click on "save for later." Each time I log in it will tell me which ones have changed price. You can also make a Wish List. Under Your Account, then Your Lists. I'm not sure if you have to go into your Wish List to find out if the price has changed. I find it easier just to keep it in my cart under "saved for later."

@CalminHeart

Some of the things on my list have gone down, but waiting to see if they drop further. None of them have gone up at all, much less 25%. Your list must be much larger than mine and/or different items on your list.

Too high? Wait until they come down, but even times that ARE NOT Prime, prices can vary as much as 50-60%, I have seen it and bought one item for 60% down.

I just looked at my lists. They are either the same or have decreased between 1-6%. Nothing has increased.

I do the same thing...they sit and I watch the price. I'd been saving 3 things and the prices of all 3 went up this weekend. Oh well. I don't need them right away so will wait until they go down again.
