Prime Day

Anybody seeing any good deals on Amazon? Or the other online retailers who jumped onto this like Walmart or Target?

They have some good deals on DSLR lenses. I'm thinking about getting a macro at 50 percent off. Nothing else has jumped out at me.

I got a record player for $46. My wife got a couple dollar ebooks, but we don't really need anything now, so it's not too appealing.

It is probably a good day to upgrade a camera, though.

Could he a good time to stock up on cheap Xmas and Hanukah.

Some of the deals barely qualify as "deals." I just saw one flash sale on an Invicta watch, 90 percent off, for $90. Great deal, right? When you click on it, it turns out the watch is used. Marketing a used watch as "90 percent off" is absurd.

Breitling men's watch was posted for 51 percent off, down to $6,699.99. It sold out in less than five minutes. I'm guessing a lot of buyers are going to try to flip those into a profit.

People still buy and wear watches?

People still buy and wear watches?

Sure. I feel naked without one.

People still buy and wear watches?

Not still. Again. It's the replacement since the hat phase wore off.

Fedoras and iPhone watches. It's the thing.

A bit of a bust and a letdown for customers, according to this...

I got a $10 credit for buying three $15 gift cards ... everything else was very underwhelming.

I bought a macro lens for my Canon DSLR that was marked down 50% to $325, so I was very happy with that score. But nothing else was very enticing.
