Good for Amazon, it got all the hype and none of the deep discounts it promised.

The discounts were so bad, it seem slike someone in the marketing department said hey lets create something to ramp up sales between Independence Day and Back to School deals

OK, who hired the gal who thought up Walmart s rollback campaign?

Newegg actually price matched some products early in the morning and I bought a SanDisk Ultra II SDSSDHII-480G for $136 @ 1am. Newegg was cheaper as both had no shipping and Amazon charged sales tax.

What is the timezone for these deals?

Pretty lame deals, considering all of the hype they built up over this. It was like browsing through a crappy garage sale.

These deals are a joke.... I wait for something I want... timer hits 0, I click add to cart and it says 'wait list full'.
I refresh the page, and it says 0% claimed...

ima keep my $$ this time.

Pretty bad deals mx100 ssd for $160.... well you can just get an 850 evo 500gb for same price and much better.

I checked at 1 am and nothing of interest. 12 hours later, still nothing. Lots of "phantom" deals and prices that seem more bait and switch. I was really expecting more from Amazon.

I got a one hell of a deal on a 12-pack of Fruit of the Looms! Thanks Amazon, you guys rock!!! 😛

I got a Sandisk SSD Plus for £50 and Sennheiser Urbanite on-ears (Android) for £79, shame there wasn't any other good deals, it was mostly crap for the iPhone 6, laptops and storage. Shame.

This is similar to what happened to me. The only deal by which I clicked the "buy" (or whatever the button said) on was at 90% sold. I click the darn button and I'm on the waitlist. What does the waitlist even mean??? Do I get this same deal at a future date?

For the most part, this is true. Some of the guys on here got their 1AM deal. I guess I thought there was going to be more worthwhile deals throughout the day.

Usually when Amazon says something, they follow through, but this Prime day was one of the most hyped-up weak events I've seen in a while.

This amazon event was total flop. They promised better than black friday deals, but they really werent, and there were only a few items on sale. Such crap.
