I'd like one of those TVs but if it's anything like last Black Friday, they'll be gone in a second.

I suspect you're over-estimating the deal's lifespan there, I'd shoot for something like 50 milliseconds.

Wouldn't mind getting that 32" for $75, but doubt I'll be able to get in on it.

7 hours to go.

My question is, is it worth staying up until midnite, since I have to go to work tomorrow?

Good question. I'll be up, since I have nothing better to do.

A few minutes ago I received an email from amazon.de with photos of some items on sale. Other than TVs, nothing was particularly interesting. How interesting do you find Crocs?

I'm having trouble getting excited over this sale. Maybe it's still too early.

Prime members can get a discount if they sign up for Kindle Unlimited today. A 6 month sub is @ $45, which comes to $7.50 a month. Not as good as when I bought a Kindle Fire and got it for half price for 6 months.

Here is the link for anyone who can't find it.

There's some interesting electronics deals but I'm covered there.
The discounts are decent but it really depends on need. They have a lot of departments and a lot of shoppers with different needs.

The $49 kindles are moving fast (41% gone)
The FireTV Sticks look to have gone real fast. (I only see them at regular price.)
The tablets are still around.

Are you sure they already had the sale on the FireTV Stick?

The Fire Stick is live NOW

I only did the gift card deal, which is really a no brainier if you ever buy anything at Amazon.

Well darn it, that deal is gone.

tubemonkey · 07-15-2015, 09:47 AM

So far, I'm so underwhelmed.

conan50 · 07-15-2015, 10:23 AM

I'm not impressed so far. I think the Fire Stick and Kindles are a good deal, but meh for everything else.

It looks like the $45 (3 $15 gift cards) deal is sold out but the others ($75+) are still available as of this post.

tubemonkey · 07-15-2015, 10:27 AM

Amazon Echo is up for $50 off.

That's still not a great deal. During the beta testing, it was $99 including a free remote.

Now it's $130 ($180 - $50) + $30 for the remote = $160 total.
