Those 65w Baseus power banks that everyone always recommends for powering Elektron boxes on the go are nearly 50% off. You can grab a four-port 20k mAh or a 7-port 30k mAh, for about $41 or $53, respectively.
Prime day has had the opposite effect for me. For the last couple of days I’ve been thinking about buying those iLoud MTM speakers that were reduced to £159 a speaker. I decided to do it today, only to find they’ve gone back up to £253 each.
I keep tabs and a price monitor in my wish list of a few items (not quite camelcamel). I can honestly say that in my experience manufacturers will promote off and on through the year and last year for certain items in the prime day ‘sale’ prices went up in cost during the last week ahead of it going on sale. Frankly it’s embarrassing.
There seems to be more declared price monitoring in Amazon wrt last 30 days, maybe this is offsetting that cynical price manipulation. It’s not like Amazon work to high margins, prices will be decent, but not that special on Prime Day.
Black Friday seems like the one time there are discounts that beat the year round price drops.
I think the Amazon brand stuff is dropped down more genuinely.
You can get crazy bargains, I have nabbed a few over the years, but never during a promotion. I think a few were genuinely mispriced at cost briefly.
There will be stuff that’s priced nice, but I’d suggest copying the link into camelcamel to see the price history
I had a look, nothing to tempt me to join Prime and no deals so far worth sharing. It might be better in the US though
My pup loves Native Pets. I call them dessert sprinkles when I top off her food bowl with a little shake. Best part is when she eats the powder on top of the food, it sticks to her whiskers and gives her a goatee. I think she gets confused that I giggle whenever she has her dessert sprinkles.
Might pick up a 2tb NVME drive for my computer. Ableton Live is currently on a HDD and it is slow as a result, and I haven’t even installed 12 yet due to waiting for an SSD for it.
Edit: after cracking the computer open and trying to understand the specs of my motherboard, I’ve ordered one. £100 for a quality 2tb NVME PCIE drive is crazy value for money compared to what SSDs used to cost.
