Prime day is the same as Black Friday, aka “clear out the warehouse”. There haven’t been good deals in a long time but with CamelCamelCamel or the plug-in I use, that’s escaping me right now, I’m sure I’d be tempted.

I’m in the market for large hard drives (20TB) and so I figured I’d go look. Not only was the price I got last week better ($1,200 for 4x20TB with $60 off coupon, today the best price is $350/ea or $1,400) but Amazon’s search/filter tools (which have always been bad) are an absolutely joke. My options are a bunch of tiny GB ranges, 1TB, 1.5TB, 2TB, 3TB, and 4TB & Above.

“4TB & Above” is just silly in the age of 20TB+ drives. And it’s not like drives shot up in size overnight, I’ve been buying 16TB drives for the past few years, they’ve had plenty of time to adjust.

  > they are saying things like %67 off 1tb micro SD cards for $97, which is their normal price.

is this kind of trick legal in the u.s?

Yesterday I read about a M1 macbook air for a really good price,* prime only. Went to amazon, bought it, will deliver Sunday..oops it was the work account which does not subscribe to prime!

It arrived today and I got the magic prime price.

I don't know what the hell they are doing -- do they?

* camelcamelcamel will give you price history

There’s millions of Amazon sellers so you’ll always stumble upon “scams” such as that.

Just use camel camel camel and know what you’re buying.

Personally, I save tons of money on Prime day.

I love cruising for bargains but I've never seen a Prime Day deal I liked. I'm just hoping that fancy set of speakers I spotted at the reuse center downtown is still there because that is a bargain.
