Jeff and I have been told about a possible huge sales event Amazon is preparing for on July 15, 2015.  We have a friend who works within the Robbinsville, NJ Amazon warehouse and they are ramping up for huge activity.  My brother in law (who is a mailman) also let me know that they were told that the USPS was told to be prepared for double the Amazon shipments from July 13-18.  A friend wrote me today to confirm our suspicions of a gigantic 20th Anniversary Sale that will discount many "Prime" items 25-50% OFF!  While this is only a rumor at this point, it makes a lot of sense since Amazon's first day of business was July 16, 1995.  There is too much smoke here for there not to be a fire.  

Get your wallets ready.  If you are not a Prime member, now is the time to join.

Service Truck 42008 up at 3pm eastern, lets put in some bets

24% off and sells out in 90 seconds.

damn, and I was going to go with 26% but thought that might be a little too hopeful...

Sold out in 2 seconds.

And it isn't exactly flying off the digital shelf. Same thing happened with this set last Christmas. 

Um... I guess I was wrong. Maybe they only had 1?

yeah have to add to cart to find out if its actually sold out the % doesnst update fast enough.  but seriously how many people are buying that set at only 26% off? dozens? hundreds? i think I have renewed faith in the bubble.

Would be nice if the Prime streaming option was part of this price.

That's what I hear...

Picked up a Fire stick. That was a great deal for $25. Nice little device.

Gift card pack for $75 + $10 worked for me. 

Now trying to decide what to do with the $20 off $100...

I did an Ecto-1 and a Mos Eisley. Was Pet Shop at retail?

yes, seems like every 15 minutes.

I bought a Braun electric razor and Ecto-1 with my $20 off. It's funny how Ecto-1 is treated as currency in these parts. Most hoarded set, evar.

Looks like lego stores got last batch of PS...like R2D2 last year...b4 its gone forever.

Some sets are worth hoarding IMO. :-) And we do say that about a lot of sets.

Hah I agree. I'm buying them too after all. I think Ecto-1 will be one of the most popular non-Star Wars sets of all time.

Anyone eligible for this goat offer?

Haha that one is great. I read it at first at GOAT the acronym (greatest of all time).

Side note, but they could completely crush stuff like Angie's list with this sort of service. I am trying to get a deck built right now and wished I had something exactly like this, more of an online form to fill in with my specs and then just get back results/prices from validated service providers. 

I could not get the $20 off $100 order to work via amazon checkout. (even though it is supposed to be only for select customers) I chatted with a rep and got it. Of note item must be sold by amazon and you must use your amazon card to pay.

 

Amazon.com is offering $20 off your purchase of $100 or more when you use your Amazon Rewards VISA Card and apply promotion code PRI20ARC at checkout.

LEGO Bricks & More Building Plate 628

 

11pm est lightning deal

The $20 off $100 works with GCs as payment if anyone is interested, though you do have to have the Amazon Visa card on your account. After adding $100 worth of items to the cart select Amazon visa for payment but also have the apply gift card box checked as well. When you enter PRI20ARC the $20 discount appears and the GCs are applied.
