Anyone else disappointed with Amazon Prime Day?

I bought a few things, but overall the deals were not as great as the media was making them out to be. Certainly not as good as Black Friday deals.

What a waste of time. I love Amazon and am a prime member, but that was awful.

 

[Lynne G]

Agreed. Very little interest for me. Most of the savings I saw were minimal.

Oh come on..there were some great deals on shoe horns, electric pencil sharpeners and foot wraps

If you want a copy of the book The Art of Eating through the Zombie Apocalypse, you'll have to get on the waitlist now....

 

[North of Mouse]

Yes, a lot of hype about nothing! Just an excuse to get rid of things that nobody wanted from their 'morgue'!

 

[ilovepcot]

Horrible!

I agree, it was terribly overhyped (by Amazon) and most deals weren't any different than every other Lightning Deal.

I did get this for $99.99 though: hplSrch

It was on my list and it was a great price for that model. I didn't buy anything else, though.

I kinda figured I'd be eating brains through the Zombie Apocalypse*. Because Survivalist material, I am not.

* No intructions required. Mmmmm... brainsssss...

Some sale. I checked the stuff I had saved in my cart and most of it increased in price. Their lightening deals are ridiculous.

It was very disappointing and a total waste of my time. I'm glad that we didn't go out of our way and get a prime membership just for that.

I can't believe I missed out on that! I'll probably starve to death during the zombie apocalypse now.

There were some decent video game deals but they sold out in less than 5 minutes. It was ridiculous. If you didn't sit and watch the computer all day for the deal, you missed it. Poor hubby was very sad.

 

[parrothead365]

What .....nobody else bought the 55 gal of personal lube????

 

[sersee05]

It was horrible .... I saw lots of underwear and.whey protein. I guess I should have taken advantage of that... I need underwear and protein. Guess I missed out ..

 

[Disneychix]

I was really glad I didn't wake up at 3am to login and start shopping!

Anyone check out the Walmart deals? Maybe they still have the zombie apocolypse eating guide available??

That was exactly my thought as well. It was nothing more than a day with more Lightning Deals. I was on for all of about 5 minutes checking what was out there, what I missed, what was coming, etc...and I didn't see a single thing that was worth trying to get.

I'm not a Amazon Prime member and knew nothing about the event until I read some of the stories on the internet. Some of the comments were hilarious!

I liked how someone commented that there will be a new phrase in the lexicon. Any underwhelming or disappointing experience, no matter the topic, will be known as a Prime Day.

That finale of Seinfeld was such a Prime Day.
