GET HYPED, IT'S PRIME DAY 2017!!!

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy - it's that time of year again. Jeff Bezos has been listening to you all year long through your Echos and Dots and he knows who all the economically-pliant little boys and girls are. On Prime Day he'll fly through the air in a sleigh made of automated drones and distribute all the things he couldn't sell at full price otherwise.

WHAT'S NEW FOR PRIME DAY 2017??!?!???!?!?!?


If you have an Echo or Dot: every fifteen minutes it will sound an ear-splitting siren (sorry, an 'exclusive deal alert') to inform Amazonians about deals that are only available via the voice-interface. You must decide, literally blindly, whether or not to purchase each item. (Please note: all members of the household must be present before the siren will silence and all members must give a verbal 'yes' or 'maybe later' to each offering.)


Did we say "Prime Day"? Sorry, we meant Prime 27-31 Hours! This poo poo starts early because why the gently caress not, it's totally arbitrary anyways!


Holy fuckballs - this thing! Could it be a new hat for your character? Slightly bigger boobs? Who knows? But look at that loving box! It's gold and shiny and has little beams of light coming up from it like the Ark of the Covenant! I cannot loving WAIT for this. (*Please note: restrictions apply to this imaginary item for a video game.)

WILL ANYTHING ECLIPSE THE BEST DEAL FROM THE INAUGURAL PRIME DAY?

I swear to Bezos, I'll never forget when my prayers to him were answered that first Prime Day when the 55 Gallon Drum of Sexual Lubricant finally went on sale and I could afford what I had only dreamed about.

What will you buy yourself for Prime Day 2017?

Psst - maybe I shouldn't let you in on this but here's an 'insider's guide' to getting the most out of Prime Day. DON'T SHARE THIS LINK, I shouldn't have even posted it to begin with. That's how inside this guide is.

Amazon has become a weird bazaar of grey market and shady Chinese stuff. Like, if you search for "shower head" the top-rated thing will be something called Best Shower for Spray Body, 100% Cleanliness in Harmony Water. And then somehow despite an overall 5 star rating, the first page of reviews are all 1 star complaining about how it's cheap junk.

They pay fake reviewers to put up 5 star reviews

Also Amazon has a program that makes it easy for shady Chinese factories to ship to the us

Also they intentionally make it difficult to filter out the stupid garbage nobody wants

I bought that exact stethoscope a few months ago, I had a coupon code and it was like fifty cents. I works as well as you would expect a .50 cent stethoscope would, meaning I would only use it for a Halloween costume.

You gotta be p careful about counterfeit stuff too, like amo will refund you but it sucks to need a new pair of earbuds or something only to have them arive and be clear knockoffs.

Birkenstock pulled their products from Amazon last year because they were tired of their real shoes being sold along side counterfeits and didn't want to deal with the fallout of people unwittingly buying lovely knockoffs that fall apart in a week.

To be fair after it happened to me once I knew what to look for in the future. If a deal looks too good to be true and the vender only sells a handful of similar items for much cheaper than the official vendors for those products then it's basically guaranteed it's fake. At that point just do a quick google search to see if counterfeits for the thing you want are common and there's basically no reason for you to fall for it.
