How often does Amazon actually advertise compared to big box?
Yeah, they did a 2 day advertising blitz for this compared to next to nothing for the rest of the year. I'd say they got their money's worth on their clearance sale.

Walmart/Target doesn't do commercials and tons of marketing campaigns for their clearance items.... They put them on a shelf named clearance and put a 15-30-50-75% price cut on it (depending on how long it hasn't been sold).
Amazon brags about how much "shit" it sold:
56,000 Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy sets
47,000 Televisions sold, which was 1300% year-over-year growth
51,000 Bose Headphones, compared to 8 the previous Wednesday
28,000 Rubbermaid 42-Piece Easy Find Lid Food Storage Sets, compared to 428 the previous Wednesday
24,000 Instant Pot 7-in-1 Programmable Pressure Cookers, compared to 182 the previous Wednesday
14,000 iRobot Roomba 595 Pet Vacuum Cleaning Robots, compared to 1 the previous Wednesday
12,000 Fifty Shades of Grey Unrated Edition on Blu-ray, compared to 121 the previous Wednesday
10,000 Meguiar’s X2020 Supreme Shine Microfiber Towels, compared to 244 the previous Wednesday

24 thousand Instant Pots, and I didn't get one. Screw that.
Oh well, at least my new tent will be here tomorrow. The door handle and candelabra light bulb won't make it til Saturday.
I almost fell for the tupperware but I'm trying to get RID of all my plastic storage and move to all glass. I need more of the square storage containers
Bodybuilding.com has always been my source for anything of that nature.... They tend to have pretty good prices. They always have a 15% off coupon somewhere as well.
Sweet, big Zin moving to DC metro? DC>Bay area for cost of living.I hate you!
I knew about it because it was posted in this thread, so I also had the product page open. ...oh, well, I had the page open for the 50" TV, not the 49" (seriously--who the fuck produces a 49" TV...especially if they make a 50" TV? This makes no sense)
Anyway, I was also checking the "upcoming sales" constantly, and it was never there. Only some garbage "sound bar" doohicky that no one should own. I left computer work to go to normal science work for about 30 minutes, and then it showed up on the sale page as...sold out. wtf.
Anyway, ti would have been a dicey buy for me: would have to ship to DC (where I'll be moving in ~2 months) to a possible work address and find some way to get it from there to the apartment, all while on the other coast. Also, $500 was my target. whatever.
We got a network camera, some makeup brushs, SD cards, and an external battery. Good prices in all of it. I don't see what all the complaining is about.
Lol... I mean in general, I expect it here.you must be new to the internet and ATOT.
Same here actually... Slowly but surely the plastic ones get a crack or two in them magically (When, I have no idea).
I'm loving my glass Snapware replacements. Now I just want all the plastic ones to break because it takes up too much space.
