Amazon Prime Bargains - Chat Thread

I always like to make a comment I always try and say if I've bought the item or not and why I think it might be a bargain.

Now your just trying to make it about me…nice tactic..

But its not about me it about the thread in general…I follow this thread and use it all the time, weather iI post bargins or not, is irrelevant

Do you think these Buds are a good Bargin?

Do you think other should warn people if they are not, or question it at least?

Do you think I should post 100 amazon bargins, just because I filtered for large discounts?

Look 90-99% of posts are fine and the bargain is obvious, like the shower gel. I reposted a similar one and said I wasn't sure if it was as good , but posted as an option.

But every so often a clearly obvious stupid one comes along, that makes no sense, and should be called out for what it is.

All I suggesting is, posters check that there bargain is really a bargain, or a least say I'm not sure

edit:- Also I update my post to show we had bought the Merino wool top thge year before.

Nobody is disputing that everyone needs to check if it is a bargain or not, but that doesn't mean anything should be posted, that is clearly not a bargain. What you highlight is simply a disclaimer, which is fair enough.

We had 4/5 posts (Well intended) in the non-chat thread directly about this non-bargain, that have now been deleted by a MOD, but yet the non bargain is still there!! The whole point of the bargains threads is to help people, is it not?

And again I'm not having a go at anyone that post a Non Bargain, but it should be possible to point this out without being hounded for doing so in the chat thread (That's not directed at you JJ880)

(The following was written before JJ880s post, and about general replies)

And this is what happens when you post bad bargains (Again no offense to Coincide here).

The Non-Chat thread is derailed, with posters that only have good indentations, I might add, are probable the ones that will receive the warnings now, for only trying to help others.

You can talk about "Caveat Emptor, Nanny State and holding peoples hands, Its up to the poster to check the bargain", all you want, but this is the result, and nothing to do with me, in the non chat thread.

That's exactly why I came into the chat thread, with some others, to try and warn posters about this deal, and make some suggestions to help in the future, but even in here, we are shut down for Derailing the Chat thread, which is exactly what this thread is for, is it not?

Why do all you other posters get so upset, to the point of threatening to leave the bargains thread, when anyone correctly points out a bad bargain, and just asking people to check what they are posting before doing so.

Its called a bargain thread, and I still maintain you should only post bargains in it (As best as possible), not blindly post things without checking. And if you happen to get one wrong, don't get upset when someone points it out, we are not shaming your family in public, it just a post on the internet.

The intention of the bargains thread is to help people. And that's I'll I've tried to do here.

I won't get into the other discussion, but understand your point.

My Point is simply, posting a bargain without info is okay in itself, with some basic info is much better of course, but there must be a reason why you're post is a bargain in the first place?

BUT…if something is posted, that is clearly not a bargain (No fault or blame on them), it should be possible to point this out, and they and others just say, yes good spot, its not the bargain I thought if was….

And lastly

"Reporting the (non) bargain post to get it removed is another option. Maybe you've done that already..."

I have not, but is this really a thing? Is this what the MODs want to happen. TBH I thought they'd be too busy for this, and then the they need to get into the disputes and what is a bargain or not, but I guess it needs to be obvious in the first place to be reported, like VAR clear and obvious mistake s only, we could call in BAM (Bargain Assistant MOD)😊

Anyway this should be my last post on this…I hope.

Your latest bargain would come in handy.
