Recently we got a law which forces anyone offering a discount to clearly state the lowest price from the last 30 days. So many capitalist piggies must have been livid
Ah there was a time when Prime Day was kind of fun, a Christmas in July kind of feeling. But now Amazon is just so loaded with knock off junk that doesn’t work, spam postings, review manipulation, etc I absolutely dread shopping on Amazon for anything other than something I need right away, can’t get in a local store, and don’t care if it breaks in 2 months. I’ve never given less of a shit about Prime Day than I do today, and that’s even without factoring in the price manipulation noted by OP.
They need a “don’t show crappy Chinese junk” filter - I love shopping, but it’s impossible to browse for anything worthwhile, and incredibly boring.
I can’t believe you don’t need anything from WEWEQ or GOVEEUOO or QUOPEO. These are household brand names!
There’s a reason behind the weird brand names. The seller has to have a trademark on their brand name in order to participate in several Amazon programs, such as their predictive analytics. The easiest way to guarantee your trademark application succeeds is by ensuring it can’t possibly conflict with any existing trademark, and the easiest way of doing that is by generating a random string that’s (somewhat) pronounceable.
Wait until the trademark names are GUIDs lol
Lmao I told my wife recently the company names that dominate search results look like somebody just wiped their hands across a keyboard and said yep that’s the name alright.
Don’t forget good old Pukemark, the brand Grandma trusts!
There is a Tampermonkey script to highlight Chinese sellers: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/402064-soldby-reveal-sellers-on-amazon
Thank you! And I seriously cannot believe how many sellers are Chinese. This is just crazy.
I’m not sure there’s be much left if you switched that on!
Service/platform enshitification is extremely frustrating. Incidentally, it seems to have a very direct correlation with the greed and sociopathy of the CEO/owner.
Prime day went from a day I couldn’t wait for to one Im mad if I see ads for it.
Keepa and/or camelcamelcamel are essential when shopping on Amazon.
Camelcamelcamel is the best website ever made
I limited my shopping on Amazon the last few years. Too many “deals” that are the same during prime day as off. Like I was looking at a set of weights, was 199 now 99, they have been 99 for the last month now, the “deal” is now changed to “prime day exclusive” and price stayed the same. Yea… definitely prime day exclusive… definitely worth actually browsing the platform for these sales.
I bought a set on end tables yesterday that had a $20 off coupon to clip. It’s the same exact deal today except with the prime day exclusive label too. The only thing I ended up ordering for prime day was a 3 pack of usbc chargers.
Matter of luck really. I just bought a new phone last week and today it’s discounted by $140.
I didn’t expect anything but plastic garbage and Alexa devices to be discounted, tbh.
I’m looking for a new phone. Could you send me the offer?
Limited-time deal for Prime Members: OnePlus 11 5G | 16GB RAM+256GB | Dual-SIM | Eternal Green | US Factory Unlocked Android Smartphone | 5000 mAh battery | 80W Fast charging | Hasselblad Camera | 120Hz Fluid Display | 4nm Processor https://a.co/d/b980DQV
I looked at a shelf I bought last month it’s $2 cheaper now than it was but claims it’s 30% off when it’s been like 25% off since forever. Such trash. Tho I did get the pro galaxy buds for a decent discount
These trackers don’t show the “exclusive Prime price,” so you need to see the price in page along with the chart to actually tell anything.
The noise cancelling headphones I had in my basket, waiting for the prime day sale, had an amazing 90p discount on them. Yay.
Wow, not only does Prime Day offer nothing good to buy on sale, it actually doesn’t offer the lowest price over a one-month period. I’m surprised OP found something interesting to buy for Prime Day. I don’t even bother checking it out because in the past, all I see is junk I don’t want or need.
What product?
All of them
lol yes capitalism
