Lads what do you reckon on that price for the kindle paperwhite. Do you think it will get lower

Amazon lower prices on their devices a few times during the year. I bought a kindle papewhite for my missus early summer for the same price (89.99).
Its an excellent device, and a great price, hard to say if it will get lower.

must say though, the Echo, and Echo dot, are well worth it. Plus it's funny when my missus starts swearing at it

Mods, is it possible to create a seperate thread with just bargains and one with questions. As one poster already pointed out, following this thread is a nightmare if you have to sift through so much discussion. Its just going to push traffic towards hukd which isnt good for boards.ie business.

Scroll down the page and watch out for a pound £ or euro € symbol. Why is this so difficult?

Its better to leave this is a chat thread, and to post the bargains individually at their own merit. If the item is found cheaper then it can be posted in that thread keeping related items together.

Title renamed to clarify and note added to first post. Report a post to contact the mods rather than posting on thread please .

That means monitoring the forum for individual threads that pop up ? Instead of one thread where people can post them as they find them ?

I can't see it going any lower than that... At least during this Black Friday period. It's a really new model and the promos suggest it will go back up soon.

Kindle readers are dear enough for what they are but in fairness 89 quid for then new, just released model is a really good price.

I went for it earlier today. You'll be kicking yourself if you see it back up at 129 in a few days.... .

Does any one know if they still take the ads off if you ask nicely? They did it for me a few years ago.

Finish Dishwasher Tablets, 90 for €8.99

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01D4R2SRI/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1

The closest Tesco online equivalent is 85 for €24

https://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=295594991

So roughly 1/3 price at Amazon. Free delivery with Prime, snagged 2.

Are the likes of the Amazon Dot and Echo still likely to be on offer tomorrow or will they put them back up again?

My prime membership got suspended due to an expired card and wont be sorted until tomorrow - but don't want to miss out on the deal waiting for prime/quicker delivery.

Tesco put them up to offer on sale later. These are always available somewhere for a tenner or less.

After deciding to not pull the trigger on yesterdays Philips 43inch tv for 399 it's now shot up to 480 and I have non-buyers remorse.
This is worse than buyers remorse

I have used Addresspal from time to time and never had an issue - nominate your Post Office and when it arrives you get a text confirming same.

Do they deliver large packages?

I know PW will deliver a telly up to 55 inches but Amazon won't deliver bigger to northern Ireland. Just wondering if AddressPal might work.

Is there any way for multiple products to be delivered together for parcel motel? For example when I order 3 items from different vendors I get hit with 3 separate PM charges.

Picked up the older one yesterday. Is there much of a difference specs wise? I wouldn't have much need for 4k.
