Oh look! Another Amazon sale - where nothing you wanted is discounted. Also, Amazon seem to be playing fast and loose with advertised discounts, claiming them to be much deeper than they actually would be if you paid the pre-sale Amazon price. Discounts are listed in relation to RRP, not their regular Amazon price. Which is cheeky, if I may say so.
The deals on Amazon Echo are very good though. A great time to pick up an Echo if you haven't already, much more reasonable prices for these things.

Meh. Amazon sales are little more than a tactic to temporarily increase foot traffic to the site - but that was obvious. The deals are rarely good, and usually misleading.
If I recall correctly I thought they, and many other retailers, were brought under fire for this tactic. They inflate the prices then drop them to what everyone else is offering them for and call it a sale. I may be remembering incorrectly though.
I'm largely underwhelmed by what's being offered, yes the Echo and Dot are heavily discounted, but I don't need or want them. I'm not seeing much else in terms of savings. I will offer a caveat in that my search is limited
I've had several items in my cart for a few days and added a few more in hopes that any of them would see the discount. Not one is on sale, but a lot of similar products are. I scrolled through the list a little, but didn't find anything worth buying.
