After weeks of hyping today as "bigger than black Friday", Amazon seems to have dropped the ball in a major way. Where are the deals on items you actually want to purchase? Did anyone find anything good?
What do people think about the 35% off of Crucial SSDs? <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KFAGCUM" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KFAGCUM</a><p>I haven't really shopped for SSDs before but I need to upgrade my 4 year old MBP. It looks to be about $20 cheaper than what's on Newegg:<p><a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148946" rel="nofollow">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148...</a>
The "lightning deals" seem to be either uninteresting, or already 100% claimed. (Though the day's not over, and they do seem to be adding new items periodically.) Has anyone built an app to watch upcoming lightning deals and snap them up at superhuman speed?<p>BTW, there's also a section of 30%-off items—mostly clothes and luggage—that doesn't seem to have the "lightning" quantity limits. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=pin15_us_gw_d_p3_ld_softlines?_encoding=UTF8&node=9538491011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-pinata-3&pf_rd_r=17Y4PZGG6Q5D5EJ5DR69&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2135568282&pf_rd_i=desktop" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=pin15_us_gw_d_p3_ld_softlines?_e...</a>
Amazon hasn't dropped the ball at all. In fact, this has been a huge success for them. This was entirely a marketing ploy, and now everyone is talking about it.
I haven't found anything I wanted. I mean there are great deals, but nothing I am interested in. To be fair I am only really interested in buying cheap books.
I didn't see anything that I don't see on woot or other deal sites on a daily basis. When I last looked one of the "front page" items on the lightning deals was a lanyard, which I think says a lot.
I sent my mum some more of the pimms I bought for full price a few weeks ago for her birthday. I was quite disappointed by the sale..<p>I probably would have grabbed a paperwhite if they'd reduced it with the cheap kindle.
I picked up a pair of Bose SoundTrue On Ear headphones. I'd been stalking them for a while but they've been priced at £129.95 for months. I ordered them yesterday for little over £70. Very happy!
I picked up a kindle fire hd 7" tablet for my daughter. I let her have a little time watching learning videos on youtube but using a macbook pro for it is overkill
not a thing, i missed out on the one g watch urbane they had in and then found it cheaper elsewhere anyway other than that there werent that many great deals to be had
