    The UK version of that vacuum uses cute photos of pets to sell the product. The US version uses soulless photos of plastic accessories. Strangely appropriate...

    The trick is to pack it with several kilos of cocaine. Then when customs finds the cocaine they get so excited they just let the vacuum cleaner go through. Unless...they spill the cocaine. Then there is a chance they might try to use the vacuum. Guess I need a better plan.

    Amazon is offering a $30 gift card if you spend $75 on goat services. Not a bad deal if you need a goat.

    Wow... this sale just highlights how unintuitive the website is. They are giving $35 off $100 after you add to cart (sold & shipped by Amazon). I decide to buy new shoes, because this is actually a slick deal. But try and find $100+ shoes that are sold by Amazon and eligible for Prime. Fucking ludicrously complicated.

    Search for "Chuck Tingle" on Amazon. Most hilarious shit ever.

    Was this a timed thing? I don't see the promo available

    Don't think there was a promo, just a messy sale triggered on random items. Basically, you had to spend a good bit of time playing around with items checking out if it was on sale. Only useful if you were looking for those items anyway...

    I had held off on things I needed waiting for this sale. None of it was on sale, but when I added to cart I was getting random discounts ranging from $15 - 45. Shoes netted me the most at $35, one pair that cost over $150 had a $45 discount. But you wouldn't know any of this until you added to cart and went to check out.

    Very poor planning and execution.

    I think Amazon uses this as a way to clear out junk inventory that would never sell otherwise.

    It's retarded. The only thing that works in an online sale like this is digital content. Everything else runs out in .5 seconds.

    it also makes it look like another great incentive to have amazon prime.

    Amazon's annual "clean all of the crap no one wants out of our warehouses" day is back.

    This is always a good time to buy an e-reader. Everything else is meh.
