July 15 Amazon Prime Day
Per Amazon website:
What is Prime Day? Prime Day is a one-day shopping event on July 15, 2015, with more deals than Black Friday. Prime members can shop exclusive deals from electronics, toys, video games, movies, clothing, patio, lawn and garden, sports and outdoor items and more. Basically this is a promo to get people to sign up for Amazon Prime. Hopefully there will be some good deals. This is also happening on international Amazon sites so be on the lookout for some decent Blu ray box sets from Amazon UK. Please post deals here. |

If Amazon offers prime for $50 (or less), I'll be really happy.

Bring on the BD sales....

Re: July 15 Amazon Prime Day
We'll see. Amazon really hasn't run any true loss-leaders for several years now in most categories.

Wouldn't you need Amazon Prime at Amazon UK to take part in any deals there?

Re: July 15 Amazon Prime Day
It's going to be a worldwide thing. I received a bunch of emails today from all of the European sites.

Re: July 15 Amazon Prime Day
It looks like Amazon hopes to build this up as an annual sales event. It's probably a way to lower inventory levels and move dead stock in the summer.

Re: July 15 Amazon Prime Day
Also remember just because they say there are going to be more deals doesn't mean the deals are going to be as good as Black Friday. As I recall Black Friday week deals weren't as good last year as in previous years.

Black Friday basically consists of what hariseldon was making fun of: Amazon pricematching other people's ads. If the deals are actually going to be good, I'd think you're better off at slickdeals or whatever, I think we'll be lagging behind all the scalpers. |

I expect a few good deals, but for the most part they will be disappointing. But then even when Amazon was actually trying to be competitive, most of the BF deals were mediocre, with a few really good ones thrown in. |
Re: July 15 Amazon Prime Day
Black Friday on Amazon this past year was so worthless, I bought exactly ZERO things. In prior years, I'd spent hundred on Blu-rays.
Hopefully this PRIME thing isn't just Amazon offering the same deals on the same Blu-rays and DVDs we've seen in Black Fridays (and Gold Boxes) past. But I'm guessing it will be. |

All they've said is they'll be MORE deals than Black Friday. |
Re: July 15 Amazon Prime Day
They've gotta have at least a few killer deals (though who knows in what categories and in what quantities); I mean, they're advertising this on TV as well, this is a big thing for them.
|
Re: July 15 Amazon Prime Day
It's the first year of this special sales day. I imagine Amazon will make an effort to have some actual deals. The rumor is that their phone will be on sale at heavy discount.

Since Amazon has yet to turn a profit, I would not be stunned to see them eventually require Prime to shop for discounts on their web site, as they eliminate more and more B&M competition. fitprod |

Re: July 15 Amazon Prime Day
The TV ads do make me think that there will be at least a few great deals, but who knows in what categories, numbers, and in how much depth they'll stock them? Maybe there'll be a tv series for $3 a season, but if it's not one that a buyer wants, then it's not any great deal to them. But they could surprise, we'll see.

Re: July 15 Amazon Prime Day
Who would be better than Amazon, when it comes to shipping logistics, though. Not to mention product selection. Even free shipping is relatively fast. I'd be curious who this other competitor is.
