Amazon Prime Days ran on July 16th and 17th (at least here, in Canada).
This price jump happened a day before and ended two days later, but this item was "on sale" during those two Prime Days.
I've been seeing this scam far too often, especially with food items. Why isn't this illegal yet?
The only deal I find on prime day is storage. Usually pick up a SSD or few SD cards and save a few bucks.
Another reminder why you shouldn't be using Amazon
I think most stores do this. But with Amazon, you can at least use a browser plugin to actually know when you're getting a good deal.
That said, if I could avoid Amazon, I likely would.
it’s feature of retail/capitalism. You just have better tools like Keepa to showcase this scam, now.
Keepa
This one browser extension has likely saved me thousands over the years. Since most of my purchases can wait, I'm often scoring the true lowest price for an item when I do have to buy something.
Same here
Keepa is essential for buying on amazon.
80% of the items I considered had either jacked up the price prior to prime days, or advertised a large discount when the actual discount was tiny - a few percent. I ended up buying nothing. Amazon sucks.
One of the many reasons I dropped Prime in January when my annual subscription ran out. I now avoid amazon where possible, or for certain things I'll group them up until I have enough items to get free shipping and order that way.
No prime day garbage No more "oh, let me order this thing I don't really need that will get here in a few hours"
I had a DVD box set in my wishlist for a while. It was "50%" off during the sale, but I think the price actually went up by about $10. I did still snag a bunch of movies for under $20 each, which at least feels like a good price.
I noticed this literally on the first Prime Day. Items on my list were 'on sale' and I was lucky enough I'd just looked through my list 2 days prior. Nothing had a deeper discount. It's literally all fabricated to push the trash out they're trying to get rid of, and push you to buy items you've been looking at. There's not even a thin veil over it. Honestly been thinking of cancelling Prime because even the shipping has been bullshit lately.
