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.

12.79 for the baseplate.  boo.  not even Amazon's lowest price.

I wanted to pick one up for my son. He's been asking for one, he only has a couple of the smaller baseplates. Got waitlisted one second after it went live. Whatever.

Hell, I even tried to buy one (my wife is a Serious Play facilitator and needs this kind of stuff)--instant wait list. Redonk-u-less. I'm going to bed.  

 

I think Trekgate got them all

I did not buy a single thing today for amazon other than some household staples not on sale

yesterday, I did plenty of damage for me.

I now can officially call Prime day... Brown Wednesday!

Overall a waste for most.

I bought $13 reading glasses(5). Whooooopeeee!

Just a follow-up: Was talking about the 3-pack gift cards, get a $10 promo deal...

This is a great deal. Not sure if it will work, but just bought $45 in GCs for me, then $45 in GCs on my wife's account (same credit card, and we only have 1 Prime account for our household). Promo code seemed to work both times...

 ... Actually, it didn't.  Just today discovered I got the $10 promo in my email.  My wife didn't.

I hope I didn't steer anybody wrong.

Make sure you enter the gift card promo at checkout rather than the 'add a gift card' to your account section. The email I received was weird it gave me a promo code but the promo details section of the email was blank. I tried entering the promo code in the 'add a amazon card to your account section' and it showed up as entered but yet my balance remained zero. After chatting with a rep I thought of the idea that maybe it was a one time code only for checkout.... and it was. Just make sure you do not delete the email since it shows no details on what the promo code is for.

My wife and I both received them, different amazon accounts, same prime account shared, same cc but different names on cards...

Hey... you know what... she DID get the promo... I just missed it... now let's hope I can spend it before she notices ...

I don"t know where to put this so i"ll put it here .I went to amazon to buy the chuggingon brewster big build and they only sell it to prime members. This is not a rare or hard to find toy. My son just likes chuggington.  WHy would they only sell it to prime members and not other people and is this fairly common on amazon for them to to do this. I don't remember seeing this before.Is this a new trend?
