Amazon Prime Bargains - Chat Thread

new, current generation Amazon Fire HD 8 is reduced to £40 - lowest price, but for some reason won't ship to ireland. (and it doesn't seem to be on .ie site)

probably a mistake, so for anyone interested it may be worth getting on to chat with CS agents…..fire hd 10 will ship to ireland

100% - the condition advertised is often so loose that you're better off buying "Acceptable" if there's no specific details - e.g holes larger than 3cm on item - as more often, it's a dinged box. I've had to return stuff advertised as "Like New" like Vinyl's as they had holes in the record liner.

Got a replacement grate for stove - normally sold for £50 for £9 as was "Acceptable - minor cosmetic imperfection on item". Lads, it's a grate for a stove. It's going to have a lot more than that after 20 minutes in a fire! 😀

The ridiculous thing was that I have bought these toolboxes brand new from Amazon previously and they come in a thin plastic bag with no other packing. The Amazon Resale ones came in a carboard box sealed inside another cardboard box - go figure?

However I have been completely ripped off by Amazon Resale (or rather another Customer) when someone had swapped the contents of the original box before returning it. No problem full refund.

hasn’t that been the way for a good few years now ?

€30 gone from the Kindle bundle (kindle,case,charger) I have in my basket with a fortnight.

i was a big user of CamelCamelCamel for checking on Amazon bargins but it seems like some sellers are creating new pages with high price and then lowering for sales so CamelCamelCamel isnt useful here.

What does other people here use for tracking prices?

I to be fair. I had five items in the basket and all five were reduced. Now have to wait an dsee if they arrive.

I bought a game controller recently no manual no original packaging as the description.

One of the buttons also doesn't work, cs let me keep it and gave me the money back.

I like "resale", it's almost always worth a shot, and amazon usually aren't that bad of a hassle if it does go bad.

Just be aware that's not a smart trainer, so you can't connect it to Zwift or any of the other apps - you have to change the resistance manually

AFAIK if the item is sold (or possibly fulfilled) by Amazon then they will refund the difference.

Inkbird seems to be a decent brand. I have a couple of their thermostatic switches and they have been accurate and reliable.

Do ye think we should we go into Amazon site using incognito mode? I'm sure it's tracking us checking prices similar to what the airlines do.

Can anyone recommend a projector? My son saw one on tiktok he wants but I'm trying to find it at better value. Thanks.

That's not how it works on Amazon
