Title: Amazon sales trick
Post by: tp4tissue on Tue, 16 May 2023, 09:28:57

Apart from using price trackers, if it allows you to buy 26+ under quantity, it's not a real sale.

If it only allows you to buy a max of 3,  then it's a real sale.

The best trick is to avoid shopping there if at all possible.

Too much garbage/fakes and their search system has become an absolute joke thanks to keyword spam and paid listings, some of which are not even clearly marked as such.

Just trying to make lemonade out of lemons Llann.

1 day the price will be $50 higher, and it allows for 26+ buy, then it goes back down $50 and allows for only 3 at a time, back and forth.

Amazon is full of trickery.

It's no wonder they have sooooo many returns and I suspect it's part of why they're failing now.
Not that I want anyone to be put out of work, but the toppling of Amazon can't come soon enough.

Also, you can get a free $15 by just linking your Prime account to Amazon Photos. Might be NA only, but still a free $15!

I've been happier about my year extension for GrubHub+ thanks to my prime - love not dealing with delivery fees
