Who's ready for the Amazon 20th anniversary sale? [July 15th]

[rh71]

This is bullshit. I click on a monitor immediately once its available and I am 500 deep on the wait list. These deals are a scam to drive you to the site today.

I hear there's a lot of people on the internet.

I doubt they programmed it to put you as wait-lister [randomnum] if [clicktime] > [timeavailable].

Put me in the "these deals are horseshit" camp. I've been slowly watching the prices rise on items in my saved list for the last couple weeks anticipating they'd be discounted again during this "massive sale," and not a single one has. Sure, sign me up for a 55 gallon drum of lube, and what the hell, let me grab this Blu-ray that was $10 cheaper last week. Are you shitting me?

So you're complaining that certain items you want aren't on sale today?

Of course. Why would I care if a bunch of stuff I don't want is on sale? The entire point of a sale is to convince shoppers to visit your store to purchase merchandise; if the merchandise on offer isn't appealing, what's the point? Amazon's been talking this up for weeks; it's going to be bigger than Black Friday! So far, I'm not remotely impressed.

Nor is anyone else...so I would say the complaints are justified.

Just because you see "100% sold out" doesn't mean 1000's are loving this sale, especially when they sell out in mere seconds. We don't know how many they actually have of those items. I doubt 11 million people have 1 button shopping enabled. That is bad mojo.

Also, in case some of you didn't notice, it has been said that people monitoring prices prior to the sale, saw the list price actually go up prior to the sale price, so while the price might have been cheaper, they weren't really marked down by more than a few dollars than normal. Typical fake sale BS.

I'm guessing there still some good deals to be had, if you aren't looking for the typical ATOT items and more general household products.

Why is Bayer Aspirin in the Electronics department? :hmm:

Internetting, Gaming, and fapping for hours on end = headaches and dizziness caused by malnourishment. Aspirin is the quickest and most effective way around those pesky "discomforts" like dehydration and eating.

$420 mystery box?! Who the hell is buying that without knowing what it is!?

 

[nageov3t]

I just picked up an Xbox One 1TB with Halo Collection, Borderlands Collection, and one year of Xbox Live for $400, great deal and I've been wanting an Xbone for a while.

was that one of the prime sales? XB1 or PS4 are both things I've been thinking about buying, but I wasn't expecting to see either on sale before black Friday

Also, it turns out that Bayer Aspirin, when ground into a fine powder and mixed in an 8:1 solution with water, makes an excellent thermal interface compound for multicore CPUs.

Actually, that might be true. I'm going to go doublecheck that and get back with results.

Did you see that on a snapple lid?

It says it's a digital camera. It's not like you're going to open it up and turns out it's a baby pangolin. But, shit, what if it is? I need to get that box!

yeah I know it's a digital camera -- they clearly state that. Still; that's a hell of a gamble.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Close. Snapple actually told me to mix it in an 8:1 ratio with All Natural Peach Mangosteen Snapple®, but I figure water is just as effective.

Yeah... REALLY hoping for a PS4 discount/super sale before Christmas.

That one is not bad. $400 for PS4, Batman, Witcher 3, and PLaystation Plus for a year.

Something tells me that it's not going to be an EOS-1D X... but it would be awesome if it was

But, seriously, who's going to risk getting a Nikon or Pentax camera if they aren't had a ton of Canon lenses lying about?

 

[ultimatebob]

I was hoping to get one of those Amazon Echo's for $99, but that looks like it's not gonna happen.

 

[slag]

yawn, nothing to see here. These deals are meh.

[s0me0nesmind1]

My fucking monitor isn't even going on sale it looks like...
Was supposed to go on sale @ 12:40, it's 12:43

No, meh.com's deals are better than this

It's CLEARLY not a DSLR from the hints in the description... $420 and not a DSLR? You gotta be shitting me.

i disagree, sounds like the SL1 to me, especially this right here...

This camera is incredibly compact and light, but still offers enough of a grip to keep it steady in the hand. It's especially nice with a compact prime lens – the whole combination can easily fit in a smaller bag or purse. Beginners will be satisfied with the control layout and a touchscreen makes menu operation quick and simple.

It's this, per the review snippet they posted. Canon EOS Rebel SL1 Digital SLR.
