Did they pay you, or did you pay them?

I paid. $160 - $40 lightning - $40 prime discount- $32 prime discount- $32 prime discount. 

 

[rascal]

I thought you got free music with just a prime subscription.  Is that no longer the case?

 

[fruity pebbles]

Got a trampoline for $15.99. It gave me 2 prime $32 and $40 discounts. Original around $160. No idea why, we'll see if it gets delivered. 

Same with me. Got an Anki Overdrive starter kit. $128, with the discounts $47. Tried doing it again with various items and no luck.

 

[fruity pebbles]

Great deal

That Fire tablet is a POS? Only 30 bucks.

The Fire HDX was. But I noticed they have pulled that one completely off the site. Apparently they realized it sucked and decided to quit swindling people with that one.

You get free music with Prime but you get access to a much bigger catalog with the unlimited package. Personally I am very happy with the basic music package (cancelling my Pandora subscription) but I only have used it for a couple weeks.

yea? I've always looked at these but never thought they were powerful enough to replace any of my other tools.  do you recommend? I does it actually cut wood like in the video?

I just had to buy a new one last weekend (Rigid model)

They're great for cutting into tight spaces.  Had to replace some stair treads that were nailed in from the sides so used the carbide blade to cut through the old nails between the tread and skirt 

Or when we retiled the bathroom taking like 1/8" off door molding to accommodate new tile

 

[glvsav37]

any thoughts on any of these hard drives?

need to add a new one to my Drobo backup here

Father in law has one and its pretty sweet. Not as easy as the video but a nice tool to get in tight places and do a multitude of things. Its atleast $130 everywhere else.

I thought you got free music with just a prime subscription.  Is that no longer the case?

Yes but the paid version goes from 1 mil songs to something like 14 mil. 

 

[tonydead]

Are you guys browsing or putting specific items in search and hoping you hit?

I am not seeing much that I am interested in. Solar lights sound good , but I didnt see them.

They have better categories to search this time; smarthome, tech, and gamer instead of just electronics. 

Lots of cheap security cameras and WiFi router. Lots of smarthome stuff. 

 

[tonydead]

Just bought 2 kindle readers (not paperwhites) for $39 each.

Anyone heard anything about a FireStick going on-sale? We're traveling next week and I want to make it easy for my wife to watch GOT.

Haven't seen them yet, hopefully all day tomorrow.

Never mind...I thought it was 25% off the $299 price

 

[Mister CIA]

Yes but the paid version goes from 1 mil songs to something like 14 mil. 

I thought it was 2 million to 30 million. Either way, the ratio seems about right.

 

[GoBirds]

How does the fire tablet compare to an iPad? Awesome price. 

Also ###" 4K tv for $399

You can order some dirt on Amazon to rub on the Achilles.

Too soon?

she can't kick but she can still punch

 

[Dragons & Gridirons]

Last Prime Day, it seemed like most of the deals in video games were marginal discounts for 3rd party accessories for last gen systems. Not too exciting, and I got the sense that they wanted to be able to brag about a certain number of deals going on, regardless of the size/significance of the discounts. Hoping this year is a bit better.

Sorry about that. I should've been more clear. I'll edit.

The one with the penis electrode sheath?

Not looking for that kind of stimulation, but you do you, brother. 

 

[glvsav37]

23 and me ancestry test, normally $199, today $99

 

[Wingnut]

Anyone see any wireless (wifi) printer deals?

 

[Johnny Rock]

I always grab some 128-256GB flash drives. Nice to have around. 

 

[Hilts]

The Echo still seems gimmicky to me. Someone talk me into why I need one in my life and what it does I don't already get through my PC, tablet, phone, or smart TV.

If you have Chromecast you should consider Google home. 

 

[MattFancy]

Where are the FireSticks?

 

[JoeSteeler]

Appreciate all the posts, please be sure to include a link to the item if you would

 

[Otis]

I'll take that. I was hoping for $24.99, but that's not terrible. Since switching over to Sling, the FireSticks are much easier to use than Chromecast.

We actually bought a crapload of Firesticks and Rokus and way prefer the Roku interface to get to Sling, Netflix etc.

Damn. Ring Doorbell Pro for $175. I just bought one at full price two weeks ago

It doesn't. It's like a much ####tier version of an iPad. I have both. The fire I use as a coaster.

Don't think that helps you stop paying, although it depends on the company, of course.  For example, Comcast uses a DOCSIS 3.0 modem, so something more like this: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-340Mbps-Spectrum-Cablevision-CM400-1AZNAS/dp/B0111MRLES

Note: that particular modem I linked does NOT include WiFi, so you would need a WiFi router/access point as well.  There are DOCSIS 3.0 modems out there that do include WiFi.

Oh no, I plan on buying a modem as well. Just saw this router was on sale for Prime Day. Looks like it has good reviews. I plan on buying this modem to go with it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010Q29YF8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

spotty reviews on that TV.  watch out

We bought them for the kids at Christmas and they were god awful

I read somewhere these things were total scams. 

My wife and I did them - I actually think they're very very accurate.  Some of the traits they classify you as having are pretty crazy.  They were basically 100% accurate for me.  It even connected me to some really distant relatives.

 

[Franknbeans]

Just scored a fire pit for a little under $60. Applied their coupon for about $40 off.  Was originally listed for 149.99.

 

[Buckychudd]

I'm pretty underwhelmed this year.  Was hoping for another fire stick, which doesn't look like it will happen, and might pick up another dot for my bathroom.  Not seeing anything that excites me.
