Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

I got the lord of the rings trilogy. I was the one person that didn’t own it yet.

I did find this link that will list all prime sales and upcoming sales

I bought a 42 piece tupperware set for $15

yeah… I got more excited about that than the cheap SSDs and memory sticks

what the hell was I thinking?

Bought the INNOVA auto ranging DMM for $19

On the waitlist for the dremel press station…

16pk of eneloops for $31; I paid $40 earlier this year.

Lol, I was just on my way to post that. Watch the prime day deals, they are adding different items every few minutes. I’ve seen eneloops and Nitecore D4 chargers on sale today.

You got to throw the Mrs a bone once in a while.

I think some people are adding everything to their carts once it’s available… I missed several deals because it has been fully claimed before I could even think about the price…

I decided to "Work from home" today (shirk from home?!), so that I could keep an eye on the deals as they are released.

A couple of weeks ago I missed out on a Lightening deal for a Leatherman Charge TTi reduced to £95, then quickly increased up to about £150 where it has stayed. This was intended to replace my LM Wave.

I've seen a few Leatherman tools and some other EDC stuff today, but nothing fantastic yet.

So far what has passed: Leatherman Raptor, Leatherman Charge ALX, Vic Spartan (91mm Red), Vic Rescue Tool (111mm Yellow).

Also there was some weird Hammer-based multitool (sold by a 3rd party, cheap tat, completely overpriced).

And this-morning two "Foxnovo" brand Nitecore clones - a 4-bay and an 8-bay multi-chemistry chargers. These too were massively overpriced even after reduction. Better off to buy an original Nitecore or XTAR for half the cost!

Still to come, Upcoming EDC-related as of now:

17:10 - LED Lenser 8314 M14 Multi-Function Torch Gift Box - Black

17:10 - Leatherman Wave LT650 Pocket Tool

17:30 - Coast PX20 LED Torch (Clampack) - Black

Let us know your found treasures.

Thanks for the alerts unknown00101. Nice deals. Really dig the look of that ThruNite.

I found this Rechargeable Pocket Flashlight that is 600 lumens for $35.99 it includes a Rechargeable Battery and Charger. Looks like a good deal and it"s on sale.

this one is 3000 lumen! http://www.ebay.com/itm/3000-Lm-Zoomable-CREE-XM-L-T6-LED-26650-18650-3x-AAA-Zoom-Flashlight-Torch-Lamp-/180897043887?hash=item2a1e4dd5af

and only $8!

Received some of the 12W Thorfire LED Bulbs deal alerted in the following posts:

The box they come in is quite nice. Some of the wording on it is fun to read. :smiley: The bulbs appear to be quite well made. Apparently, these are the lowest of the line as the 80 CRI option is the lowest available. There is 85, 90, and 95 CRI options also available. The tint is supposed to be just pure white, but the tint appears slightly green to me. Whatever the tint is, I don’t like it. My wife doesn’t like it at all and she loves cool tints. There is a short delay before the bulb lights up. At this moment, I regret the purchase. Maybe I’m just out of sorts from the flu virus that I’m shaking the last remnants of off. I give the bulbs a day or two more to grow on me.

EDIT: Pulled off the bulb. Tint is much better, but light dispersion is now just LED mule. Kind of like the heat sink. Seems to have some heft. Its anodized to a pretty cool color (better than the product pics). The color reminds me of pewter. Seems like it could be turned into a neat flashlight. The LED self is pressed in to the finned body. Trying to get it off without scratching the finish. The LED has thermal glue (unlike the product picture below).

So the poor tint seems to be caused by diffuser? I’m tempted at this price of course.

Appears that way to me, but don’t go by my word alone. I’m not a good judge of CRI and tint. I think they may be worth the price for parts. Still trying to get one apart while watching TV.

I just ordered some this morning but they are all sold out now.

Hammer and part of a clothes pin can knock of the LED shelf:

Driver is mix of SMD's and thru-hole components:

Bottom is threaded on. Too bad I started with the hammer.

Just having fun. Doesn't thread on. Would need JB weld or foil or something.
