Seems that rather than shopping for bargains, I'm just gonna look at my wish list and see if any thing's on sale. -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 07:33 4
- I went 0-for when I checked mine -- nm* - Beaker Jul 15, 07:34 3
  - me too. Then I noticed a lot of stuff on my wish listed was added from other sites. lol -- nm - sycor Jul 15, 07:35 2

Glad I didn't wait to buy that Fitbit. -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Jul 15, 07:31
It's very disappointing so far. The only thing I would have bought was the Fire TV stick and I missed that. Looking at the upcoming deals, I have zero - sycor Jul 15, 07:28 2
- There is just too much crap to wade through. Phone cases? Bath sponges? -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 07:30 1
  - Don't forget the vitamins and suppliments like coconut oil and shakes. And the 24 inch long shoehorn. -- nm - sycor Jul 15, 07:33
when they started saying "bigger than Black Friday" they dug their own grave -- nm - Beaker Jul 15, 07:21 10
- Did they say "bigger"? I thought they said "more deals than"...and while similar, not really the same. -- nm - Jim Jul 15, 07:22 8
  - More deals. Lots of deals on crappy things. Though the Echo just dropped to $130 for those interested in it. -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 07:23 5
    - Did the TVs ever show up? They said there were going to be some of those, but I have yet to see them unless they were at 3 AM -- nm - JaxSean Jul 15, 07:38 1
      - Samsung 50-Inch 4K Ultra HD 3D TV - $1,000 -- (link) - Krusty Jul 15, 07:42
    - and it's gone -- nm - decline Jul 15, 07:33
    - heh -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 07:23 1
      - I just saw your post after I posted. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 07:24
  - you are correct, but still the inference was made -- nm - Beaker Jul 15, 07:23 1
    - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 07:23
- the hell happened here? -- nm* - Jim Jul 15, 07:22
I blame all of you for getting my hopes up. - prayformojo Jul 15, 07:20 1
- The rumors got me hyped and now I'm sad. -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 07:21
I was thinking the same thing. There's a lot of junk and it was widely advertised so people aren't going to give it any quarter. -- nm* - Diva Jul 15, 07:20
Right now I'm very disappointed. I had such high hopes for some big sales on big items. It's still early so hopefully they're saving - Krusty Jul 15, 07:20
They built it up so much, I don't see how they could meet the expectations. - Will Hunting Jul 15, 07:19 6
- Friggin' TV commercials. When have I ever seen an Amazon TV commercial before? -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 07:37
- i got a couple of small things, but I obvs won't be getting any big ticket items. -- nm - Diva Jul 15, 07:21 4
  - We just got 2 Kindle Fire HD7's...backordered till July 25th and September 9th. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 15, 07:36 1
    - i heart my kindle fire. Enjoy! -- nm - Diva Jul 15, 07:47
  - Except for an X-Box One! -- nm - Your credit card Jul 15, 07:25 1
    - ok, that's pretty funny. -- nm - Diva Jul 15, 07:28
It's like a woot-off. Sale prices on tons of crap you really don't want. -- nm - oblique Jul 15, 07:18 12
- I just got up, but yeah, that's my initial impression. Looks like a lot of deals are lightning deals. -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 07:33
- Like Echo. - Spawn Jul 15, 07:23 3
  - We're enjoying our Echo to a certain degree. It has almost functionally replaced our microwave timer and is used extensively as an alarm for when we - oblique Jul 15, 07:28 2
    - I need to figure out what Match is. It sounds like we're using Echo in similar ways. - David Jul 15, 07:30 1
      - This has a nice summary but basically it is $25/yr (same as iTunes) and any MP3/MP4 you have on your computer that is "matched" by the service - oblique Jul 15, 07:35
- I got my SIL a baby bottle warmer for $11.00. The one on her registry is listed for $44. Mel told me to get her a $**@_$*! sauce pan. -- nm - Diva Jul 15, 07:23 5
  - Bottle warmers are da bomb yo. -- nm - Shaun Jul 15, 07:36
