#2I love cruising for bargains but I've never seen a Prime Day deal I liked. I'm just hoping that fancy set of speakers I spotted at the reuse center downtown is still there because that is a bargain.

#3Yesterday I read about a M1 macbook air for a really good price,* prime only. Went to amazon, bought it, will deliver Sunday..oops it was the work account which does not subscribe to prime!
It arrived today and I got the magic prime price.
I don't know what the hell they are doing -- do they?

#4There’s millions of Amazon sellers so you’ll always stumble upon “scams” such as that.
Just use camel camel camel and know what you’re buying.
Personally, I save tons of money on Prime day.

It's a huge reach to say it's not scammy because you use an external tool most people don't even know about or would be able to use effectively in order to help filter through the scams.

Despite the notorious “they fell off the back of a truck” speaker scam, there are legitimately amazing deals to be had by hunting around. Getting a pair of 3-way box speakers for $20-40 on used local marketplaces is common. With another $40 used amplifier you have a sound system on par with modern sound bars costing hundreds of dollars more, plus getting the rest of the features on the amplifier.
If you decide to go this route just make sure you can give them a test listen or know what to look for as far as degraded speaker cones.

There are certainly deals to be found.
A list of things that I have found Prime deals on in years past:
1. Security cameras 2. Hard drives 3. Tools 4. Gift cards 5. Scanners
On average I have gotten 10-20% off for these items. Of those, the security cameras were discounted the most.
The same deals also generally happen on Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend.
This year I’m just picking up typical household items. Some seem to be discounted a dollar or two.
