I had a very busy day, but I took a couple of quick looks and didn't see anything I had to have. Looked at some of those comments and agree. If this beats Black Friday, Christmas must be really interesting in the Amazon household.

Like Lynn, I checked in and as soon as I realized NONE of the books I have been eyeing had a penny sales discount I clicked out. Lynn you nailed it: buying for the sake of a discount...meh.

I was pretty busy yesterday also. Spent a few minutes browsing during lunch at what was offered and saw nothing that appealed to me at all.

I spent $20 on a reduced price tech item that had gone on sale, but I had been looking to buy it anyway. I don't think I was the customer that Amazon was looking for.

Nothing of Interest to me. I was looking for a camera and an unlocked cell phone. They had both but the discounts weren't what I had hoped.also without knowing in advance what would be on sale (yes, a very few were listed) I didn't have time to do any research and make an informed decision.

I've been a Prime member for a number of years, but the event as a whole was a bunch of hype in the end.

I did get a really good deal on something I've been wanting, and pulled the trigger on an Insta Pot electric pressure cooker. Saved about $35 and I don't think I could find it cheaper anywhere else.

Other than that, I though it was just a rapid-fire succession of "stuff" that I doubt anyone really needs, let alone wants.

I checked a couple of things but they were not on sale. Didn't buy anything.

I missed the Fire Stick, they really hid the time that it went on special. I did get my skin care products at a discount, along with a couple of sports bras. The sales on these weren't obvious, and not highlighted, I just thought to check. No handbags that I liked. I forgot to check shoes.

I have been Prime since the beginning. I wish they had provided some advance notice or consideration for those who have been with them the longest, maybe a special code.

It was just too disorganized from what I could tell and the "upcoming sales" which started later meant you could have sat there all day. You should have been able to shop by category and been able to see easily which products were on sale. If I'm interested in a TV, why have to wade through all matter of unrelated stuff. The way it was run did not make sense at all and my guess is sales suffered because of it.

I browsed the deals but didn't buy anything. I decided to check the Macy's page and was happy to see they had some nice deals and free shipping without a minimum purchase so I bought a few things there.

I posted on another thread about my experience of choosing an item immediately when it became available to be greeted with the response that it was fully subscribed and the waitlist was full. I checked out a few other items and found them to have a preponderance of bad reviews, so I gave up and went on with my day. Congratulations to those of you who actually bought well-discounted items.

I was quite a bit disappointed in the whole affair, and wrote so in the other thread. The online comments and twittersphere seem to agree. However, it was a huge revenue day for Amazon, so I'm guessing they were pleased.

We bought some stuff that we needed and that was at a decent price -- small discounts and items already in our queue. They upped their check out offer for prime -- by waiting four days for shipments you get a $5 credit that's good for select merchandise, not just downloads. Various things like a walnut cutting board, yoga mats, underwear, kind bars, and USB cables will be arriving over the next week. Nothing major.

The best part of the hype was the fact that other sites responded with coupons and sales. The best was Zwilling (owner of kitchenware lines like Demeyere, Henckels, Miyabi, Staub, etc). They have some excellent clear deals on their US site, well below retail. Valid through tomorrow.
