    Are there any deals fro Prime memberships?


    None yet , see my post a few pages back, another poster mentioned it might not be wise to get a yearly sub because of brexit. I might just go for a monthly one for the time being.

    Definitely. Much more important than that other Amazon which claims to be the lungs of the earth. The imposter . :)

    It's a present for an older person with poor eyesight who would like to be able to make and receive calls on it as well as having internet access.

    Even a smartphone screen is too small to use without straining.

    Echoes of Dom Joly using a mobile phone about that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,121 ✭✭✭TomOnBoard


    That echo dot with 2 philips hue bulbs is a good deal. Echo dot v3 for £18.99 or v4 for £28.99 and 2 white hue equivalents for a tenner extra. These hues are 60watt equivalent and dont need a hub, using zigbee and bluetooth connectivity.

    Sometimes firesticks are available from curry's or Argos for not much more then Amazon when you factor in exchange rate and parcel motel

    I see they selling a 1080p one in Argos for 30 quid... which is same as amazon once ya do convert to pound so might do that . The 4K ability is lost for most if not all of what I usually watch

    Edit: just realize this was pointed out afew pages ago

    20,000 mah??? As if!! Not a chance in a €11.50 power bank.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,015 ✭✭✭Ray Donovan


    Just picked up an alexa show 5.5 and a ring stick up battery camera (outdoor) for £74.99 which I thought was relatively decent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,512 ✭✭✭Wheety


    There was an ad on Ch4 just now for Amazon Black Friday "week" 20th - 30th November.

    There's a count down on Amazon to midnight saying Black Friday ends. So does Black Friday sale keep going but it's a psychological panic countdown? :D

    Thanks. Picked that up too.

    They usually switch to the "Cyber Monday" title at Midnight.

    been disappointing to be honest....................................


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,121 ✭✭✭TomOnBoard


    Amazon own stuff, like tablets, echo stuff etc (probably made for a couple of bucks each anyway) are really all that got a useful reduction... However some are not as well reduced as on Prime Day..

    My best buy this year:

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B009PKZKNS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_PVyWFbSDPEAS2

    12 x 145g (typically over €2 each) for £4.83

    Bought a lot this week but not all on Amazon:
    - Thermos 6 Bag Cooler for a tenner on Warehouse Deals
    - Flir One to get to the bottom of some draughts for under €200.
    - LG 65 BX OLED with Free LG TONE F4 Wireless Headphones - €1749 from Richersounds
    - Blacks Brewery - 48 Beers (Various styles - IPA, Stout etc) for €77. Bought this before other half presented me with a Craft Central Advent Calendar. Liver's gonna have a rough month.
    - Few bits (boxers, jumpers etc) on Boohoo. €25 or so.
    - 36 x Fever Tree Cans for about €15. Decent saving!
    - 7 vinyls from Amazon.de (decent 3 for 2 last week) for under €100.
    - Various present
    - Oh and the Echo Show / Ring bundle above for €80.

    So yeah, card took a hammering this week!

    Unfortunately, my card limit maxed on that purchase..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,512 ✭✭✭Wheety


    So their countdown was just to remind us when actual Black Friday was finishing, not the "sale". The banner has now changed to Black Friday Week and the offers are the same.

    I would have considered MyMemory a reliable source. Anything I ever bought there has always been ok. Price is (supposedly) less than half price.

    I could have bought truck loads of stuff on sale that I didn’t need.

    Of the stuff I wanted I had a list for presents for my self (from my wife), presents for her, and for a variety of children. Ten different stores. Only two of the items were on “sale” and they are way over priced anyway and regularly on sale.

    Seems to be getting worse and worse each year. Unless you are in the market for Amazon devices then the “sale” is just another day on Amazon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,551 ✭✭✭jaffa20


    Any good deals on mobile phones on 100-150 range? My old moto g6 charging port is loose and scrren slightly cracked so looking for an upgrade.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,113 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    I see the Tassimo My way 2 coffee machine is still £60. No change from black Friday.

    Very tempted, but I've limited counter space with everything else, how big is this in comparison with say an instant pot?

    Giving me Dec 17th delivery date.

    The paperwhite was noticeable by its absence. Bought one on prime day for £80 down from 120. No reduction for black Friday.

    Hey,

    Anyone know which Alexa is better? Amazon All-new Echo Dot (4th generation), Smart Speaker with Alexa or AMAZON Echo Dot (2018)?

    Hey,

    I have both and prefer the 3rd generation by a mile. The 4th generation is ugly and the light being on the base means it's harder to see if it picked up your voice

    I think the internals are pretty similar marginally larger speaker on the new ones. It's just that the new spherical ones just look odd to me so I ordered a couple of the older ones - at £18 it was hard to pass up . Won't be here till January though! :(

    Great thanks. I had it in my head to order the 3rd to be honest. I think it looks nicer and doesn't stand out as much but don't have much knowledge of either so wanted a second opinion!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,075 ✭✭✭OU812


    So do we reckon Cyber Monday will have any drops?

    Need two Hue GU10s which typically didn't discover I needed until this morning.

    White ambience twin pack still on offer at €29.07 if that’s any good.

    Picked up a few small bits but no real ámazing bargains.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,145 ✭✭✭✭Caranica


    Impressed. I bought 5 items in 4 separate orders on Thursday (some deals, some not) as present inspiration hit me in waves :D Having prime means not worrying about delivery costs. Felt guilty that they'd send 5 separate packages but actually they amalgamated them into two. Hilariously the two books I ordered together arrived one in each package!

    I did an order for 6 items on Thursday. So far 5 of the items have arrived in 4 separate packages!




  • I ordered three identical key rings in one order. They were sent separately. And of course it didn't ship to Ireland so I used Parcel Wizard and had to pay three times..

    Hey,

    Anyone know which Alexa is better? Amazon All-new Echo Dot (4th generation), Smart Speaker with Alexa or AMAZON Echo Dot (2018)?

    Reviews say the v4 has marginally better sound quality and a faster chip inside so that Alexa will get her arse in gear faster if you like yer gals to respond more quickly to yer every command... She wont hang on yer wall though, her hips have spread out considerably and she wont fit in as tight a space as her 3rd gen body allows her to do.
