Usually people are talking about Prime sales on this GD forum. It seems awfully quiet on here about it this year.
Have I missed the thread?

No idea if there's a thread but it's definitely not as big a thing as time goes on. Black/cyber monday/friday/week and the surrounding days are now a time when I am actually more wary of buying things, as the con is actively on.

I think this is due to two things. 1) The sale has not been that amazing for a while, but getting worse, and 2) more and more people are no longer being drawn in to it. Why? Lots of reasons, but I I personally blame Putin using cluster bombs a while back.
 
Looking at a Bosch GSR 12v-15 drill to replace my Ryobi, not a bad deal for a barebones one for £50. I can get the batteries relatively cheap too.

Other than that, everything else is crap. Don't even look forward to these sales anymore, there's never anything decent.

Got myself a fitbit charge 5 for £95 instead of RRP of £170. I'd been faffing around indecisively for ages on getting something, so that deal pushed me over the edge.

See they're £99 on the purple place down from £129.

Do Amazon use the original RRP, rather than adjusted for time on the market I wonder.
 
I got an helmet. Or did I? I might have got Robocop and some quicksand.

I stand corrected. Well we'll see when they arrive.

But I just picked up a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3s for £114 delivered on a 30% off Warehouse deal.

If they're full of ear cheese they're going back.

I bought a new Breville sandwich toaster using the £15 voucher I got a couple of weeks ago for installing Prime Photos on my phone, uploading one photo and then deleting it. It cost me £18 which was a bargain. The non stick coating from our existing one had all worn away so it needed replacing.

High streets destroyed themself with
Poor prices
Poor range of products/choice
Closing stores in high foot traffic locations to instead open stores on business parks..
If they sell the item you want there's a good chance it's not in stock anyway....

The people making the decisions on store locations are clearly people who don't use stores like a normal person...

Imagine expecting everyone to travel 3-5+ miles to some business park on the edge of a city....

oh look a supermarket, Pet world, Currys and a halfords.... maybe a starbucks and a mcdonalds what a massive draw to get in the shoppers :rolleyes:


Why wouldn't people just buy from amazon, no doubt cheaper, more convenient and a wide range of brands
