So, in the days after Prime Day(s), once those packages start hitting the front steps, will people regret what they bought in that rush of enthusiasm and start dropping the stuff off at Kohl’s? I’m not going to shop across the board, but I am going to keep an eye on my wishlist.

I'm not sure there's all that much overlap between people who prefer to buy new, and people who are willing to take a chance on refurb/seconds/returns/etc. Certainly an even smaller group when the new sale price is only a little higher than the warehouse price. For myself, while I've bought warehouse items on occasion (and my satisfaction has been variable), I almost always go for new, regardless of the warehouse offerings.
BTW, I consciously avoided much Prime Day browsing this time around because I'm trying to avoid impulse spending, but the few things I happened to need to order this week were all on Prime Day sale, so yay!
