Amazon Prices

[tony84]

I have been looking at one of those robot vacuum cleaner things.

I nearly ordered it a couple of days ago but thought I would hold on for the black friday thing to see if ti comes down. It has actually gone up by £40. I understand prices go up and down so I am not overly bothered, but it did catch me off guard. I was expecting it to be the same price or lower, not more.

Black Friday is a myth, pure marketing spin.

We retail on Amazon and never reduce prices for Black Friday. Would rather sell less at full price than be busy fools.

Sounds like the price has been put by £40 so it can be reduced by £40 on Black Friday giving the impression that it's a really good deal

As @Mister B says, Black Friday is a total myth and people fall for it every single year

Its a very good myth.
Our sales that day can be 10 times higher than the average of November up to then.

I wanted to buy a couple of Alexa powered speakers and waited until this morning and bought them both at significantly lower prices than they have been in the last week.

Other non Amazon products that I've been keeping an eye on haven't been reduced though

You sometimes have to shop around on Amazon just like you have to on Google

You can follow a link to an Amazon page and find a product at one price, follow another link or search for a slightly different phrase and find it at a different price.

This is one of the reasons they try to make you use the same SKU's and MPN numbers so they can group them all together as a comparison tool

Camel Camel Camel is your friend for tracking the prices on items with Amazon then you can tell if its a real deal or not.

Not a winner in the company naming awards then?

 

[Paulo1Chop]

So good they named it thrice!

If You are Waiting For Black Friday Then I will Suggest You Dont Wait For IT Because all Retailer First Up The Price and Then Drop To iT actual prices And we THough That Price Got Decreased...

Best thing to do with any sale item (or any item) is to only buy it if you think it's worth the cost

Black Friday or no Black Friday, the hoovering needs to be done.

Don't go for the absolute cheap stuff - friends have been thru several cheap ones in the same time.

 

[Opinion87]

I had a cheap one. Not worth it at all.

Except retailers who don't do that. Quite a lot of retailers don't put their price up then drop it.

Still pick up some bargains on Black Friday. There are some retailers who drop prices - and if you take part in Black Friday on amazon as a result of their invite you must reduce your price by quite a chunk.

How does it manage the stairs

 

[Instamixes]

So, why do You worry about this? When the price goes down then you can take it online.

I live in a penthouse Ian.

Taking it online drives the price up somehow?

 

[tony84]

No plans on buying a cheap one, thats why I was thinking I would wait for blackfriday to see if the decent ones get reduced... seems now.

As for the stairs question, my Mrs barely vacs as it is, at least with this, some of the house will get done

This product is sooo for me, I have the same view as your Mrs about about getting out the vacuum. Only thing is I was once bought one of those little automated dog toys for Xmas and followed the instruction, switched it on to 'find its way around' information said don't worry about the stairs because it has a sensor and knows if there is a drop in front of it.

Set it off, it wandered around for about 15 minutes, went out in the hallway and promptly threw itself down the stairs... dead dog!

Still if I keep little Vac on the ground floor what can go wrong Who knows, it might even entertain the cat.
