So much so PC magazine posted a how to cancel prime after prime day and get a refund http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/digital-home/how-cancel-amazon-prime-get-refund-deals-3598161/

The biggest problem with the US version was things selling out in seconds. Most of the deals though were hot garbage.

That was the whole point of the sale though, the hot garbage sold out in seconds and cleared acres of warehouse space. There's no doubt Amazon's patting themselves on the back and already putting that laminating machine price in a tentative Prime Day 2016 spread sheet. They're not as oblivious or out of touch as people are giving them credit for, they knew exactly what they were doing and what reactions would.

Yea this "Prime day" really was pathetic. Course their Black friday and other big sales days were pretty pathetic too this year. It's like that tweet says. It's like going to a garage sale. It's all random shit that you're like yea why do I want this?

You can find a 24" for $100 on sale.

Doing some research I can get that same monitor for $100 pretty easy most of the time. Plus it apparently has terrible viewing angles. Put in a request to cancel.

The only deal I saw that I contemplated getting was for beef jerky. I love me some beef jerky, but that's just ridiculous

Fuck Amazon, i was ready to buy something from them with Prime Day but i knew all along this would be some shit sale and this just reinforces my resolve to continue not to buy anything from them. Horribly misleading ads from them, they get worse and worse.

Not really, the best deal was this but it lasted for a whole 2 minutes, lol.

on amazon us pretty much everything remotely good sold out within two seconds two minutes is insane

 

[Kibbles]

I can't believe they had TV ads for this lol. Anything even slightly interesting always says "100% claimed" too.

I was actually kinda sad that I wouldn't be able to be home for most of the day and was going to miss a bunch of great deals.

For the 1 hour I was home I was able to pick up the Playstation Gold headphones for $60, and it sounds like I got one of the few deals worth having. Though Bloodborne for $30 is not bad, it's probably just not my kind of game.
