Does anyone care about Amazon Prime Day

[Exterous]

Apparently its returning July 11th. Not sure I really care that much if at all

 

[FeuerFrei]

Nope. Nobody cares. And I speak for nobody.

Insert shameless Amazon smile post here.

No. Not since Amazon provided horrible customer service for their forums and I cancelled Prime and look to other sellers first now.

But when I had Prime, I didn't see any good deals on that day. They're really getting to be too big anyway.

 

[Rifter]

not in the slightest, and i buy alot on amazon. But prime day has been underwhelming in the past.

 

[SketchMaster]

Sometimes I'll get lucky and some small item I wanted goes on sale. I don't bother with the big items, always sold out a nanosecond after they go live.

 

[Craig234]

And what's this? I noticed the site already has a 'Prime Day has started' banner. So now it's a multi-day 'Prime Day'?

 

[Schfifty Five]

Last year's was pretty lackluster, so no, I'm not excited about this year.

Plus, I'll be traveling for work that day, so I'll miss out anyways.

I like Amazon Smile... it's nice to know that they give a cut of their sale profits to charities if you ask them to.

I wish that they had that option for my AWS account... they could probably replant the rain forests with a cut of my monthly hosting charges

 

[ultimatebob]

Seriously, though, they should just give away Echo Dots to anyone with a Prime account that spends more than an average of $500 a month on Prime Day. They're practically guaranteed to make that money back with people making impulse purchases with Alexa.

I picked up a 6 quart Instant Pot for $70, if I remember the price right, during Prime Day last year. It's the only thing I've ever bought during Prime Day, but that wasn't a bad score. I'm not really excited for it, but I wouldn't mind a deal like that.

Every time I've looked at Amazon Prime day it reminds me of those Radioshack once a year sales of all the junk they couldn't sell.

Amazon screwing existing Prime members, thanks Bezos!

Actually, I thought it was lackluster two years ago. Last year, I bought a lot of stuff that I actually use at prices I have yet to see that low again.

I first saw this on this very forum the first prime day and it applies every year

Glad I read this thread, a bunch of friends are excited about their Prime Day purchases and I thought I was the only one who just didn't care. xD

Hah - suckers. I usually get different .edu emails with our work contracts so I figure it will be quite a while until I can no longer get the student membership :shifty_eyes:

[Staples]

I don't buy random crap and the chances the few items I want going on sale are next to zero.

So no, I won't waste time following the event.

 

[zinfamous]

twas crap two years ago, mostly crap last year (though I did get my instant pot). I'll check it out, to see if there is actually something that I need...like a deal on those plastic interlocking tiles which I need for the basement...

 

[rh71]

I'll check it out like I check out Slickdeals almost daily. No big deal.

 

[Thebobo]

What is this instant pot you speak of?

 

[PJFrylar]

Ask Kaido.

 

[RossMAN]

So what have you purchased?

I cant believe this was $231 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019Z6HS86/
