Narrowing Flashlight Deal Searches on Amazon

If you are like me and are primarily interested in flashlight, knife, and tool deals on Amazon, then I recommend that you narrow your Lightening Deal and Savings & Sales searches by selecting the Home Improvement department. From experience, this department contains all the deals that generally interest me. See illustration below.

Checking this box saves me a lot of time every day!

Edit: I stand corrected. There are lights and lanterns that appear in Sports & Outdoors that do not appear in Home Improvement. There may be additional knives in in Sports & Outdoors too. Thanks for the heads up Blackbeard!

yup, I also use the sports & outdoors + power & hand tools categories, so if you are also interested in knifes they will appear as well. I also uncheck the missed deals box to reduce the number of pages

awesome share! will do this from now on :stuck_out_tongue:

Very nice tip thank you. Linked to this thread in the Amazon Deal's thread OP.

I just kinda hang out here and wait for one of you fellers to tell me about ongoing or upcoming Amazon deals. I confess I’m too late to capitalize on some of the sales when using that method. That’s the price I pay for being lazy. :zipper_mouth_face:

For just flashlights, google “flashlight” “amazon”. Which brings up “Flashlights | Amazon”, which, when clicked, will show any related Lightning Deals. Just save the Flashlights | Amazon link and then you have one-click browse of the latest flashlight Lightning Deals.

Great tip! Here is the link - I've bookmarked it. Thanks!

Edit:

I just leave the above page open and refresh (with the F5 key) every once-in-awhile. Keeps me up-to-date on Amazon flashlight Lightening Deals with no effort!

A clue from an online story about people doing “retail arbitrage” — buying closeouts and reselling the stuff on Amazon:

Yeah thanks Active Al and I just clicked on the link and Thorfire TG06S AA/14500 light for $10 bucks after coupon! Better put this in the correct thread.

TG06S Lightning Deal

Al’s the man. Great info. But in order for this to work you have to be online constantly.

actually if you click “watch deal” button and turn on amazon notifications on your phone they send you reminder 5 minutes before deal starts

Amazon admitted they have a problem profiting from selling counterfeits:

That story links to this one:

Thanks Hank. I took special note of the last line in the second article you linked:

But if you buy anything on Amazon, take a minute to look at the seller. Better yet, buy products direct so you can be assured you are not getting a fake.

I dropped my Prime membership in Dec because Prime two-day shipping was hit-or-miss and the free Prime movies I hadn't already seen were second rate. On top of this, they raised the annual fee.

My feeling is that Amazon may be in trouble in a lot of areas.

Yeah, but I do no have phone with me all the time. Even then you have to jump on it right away.
