Prime Day

Say Nay — Fri, 08 Jul 2016 23:06:35 GMT

I'm not sure if this is okay to post but I'll give it a try. I wanted to give a heads up to Amazon Prime members. Don't forget July 12th is Prime Day.

As long as you don't post a link to the site, the thread is fine. I don't remember this in previous years, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention. Is it a true sale or are there featured items?

Amazon will offer over 100,000 deals exclusively for Prime members. They are posted as often as every 5 minutes. If you go to their website there's an explanation and they are offering what are called "countdown deals".

I am a Prime member now, but wasn't when they had the first Prime Day last year.

According to the media, based on customer comments and reaction, last year was a lotta hoopla but not much "good stuff" for the average person. Anything really good was like Black Friday - they have 5 and when they're gone they're gone. A lot of people said it didn't seem to them like any big deal and they felt it was a big bust, and the media reported this. I remember thinking "looks like I didn't miss much."

Hopefully, in the intervening year they will have changed some things at least so that more members are able to feel they got a good deal in something they actually wanted.

I'll give it a peek, but am so not going to stay glued to the iPad all day waiting for a Big Deal.

I picked up a few things last year, just as I got some good Black Friday deals this last year.

I'm not expecting too much, but a good buy here or there is fine with me.

I found a Samsung 8" tablet for a great price on the 4th. I got some good deals last year on Black Friday.

There are two stories about Amazon Prime Here.

They have been offering Prime Only deals for the last few days as a way to lead up tp Prime Day...they send out a notice in email each day. There are only a few deals each day but some are actually quite good.

A website BGR has their listing of the best deals each day on Amazon. However they focus on electronics mainly.

For anyone interested.

Eh don't hold your breath, last years Prime day was just a huge garage sale with a bunch of junk.

Yep. I have low expectations.

I'm not looking for things I don't really need just because they are on sale.

@Nuttmeg when I clicked on your link it came back with page not found on CNBC (I don't know why I am even asking this as I no longer have Prime but do like to read what is going on at Amazon) . . . many thanks as always!

@Nuttmeg THANK YOU SO MUCH for this link! Please know I dropped my Prime membership as my life has changed and it no longer holds value for me but I have been very bothered by the amount of counterfeits that they are allowing on their site. They really need to get a handle on this as I think a growing amount of people are not comfortable or happy with these potentially illegal offerings (and to be honest shame on Amazon).

It is a shame. We have to careful what we buy from Amazon.
