Default Any Amazon Prime Day Deals we should know about?

I can't figure out a decent way to navigate through all the stuff on Prime Day. Has anyone seen a deal we should all benefit from?

Thanks!

the remote plug in for abou 5 bucks is decent-
with the exception that you have to order threw Alexa-
which i dont want to set up , dont want it activated
so people can just order stupid stuff with it.
Having that is dangerous ! ( could cost you money when people dont know what they want and they order silly stuff.)

He probably means music/guitar related stuff.

I haven't seen anything related to music so far.

D'Addario has deals on strings. I just put a couple into my wife's order;

I've never been very impressed with Prime Day. To me it looks like unless you want an Amazon product, there's not much there.

I agree. A long time ago, Prime Day was worth taking a look at. Now they just push their own products with the cheesy ladies on the live feed.

You can sort to musical instruments on the left side, but there aren't many deals to be had, or at least when I looked a few hours ago. Looks more like odd gear they're trying to get rid of in the warehouse.

I think the entire series of The Office is on sale for $35 right now, and I bet they are selling like crazy because I think Netflix is getting rid of the show by the end of the year.

On a related note, if anyone is interested in drums or percussion, Sweetwater is running some deals in the month of July.

Not much to look at as it relates to musical instruments. As mentioned before, they like to sell their Amazon electronic stuff.

Better to check out MF's SDOTH, going on for two days (if you have the stamina!).

Guess the days of cheap telecasters are gone... I haven't seen anything interesting either.

Seems that Musician's Friend is throwing down the gauntlet with 2 days of hourly "Stupid Deals".

You can go to the top search engine on the home page and choose to search "Prime Day" only, then type the word "guitar" and only guitar related items with Prime Day specials will appear.

The D'Addario Humidipak products are in the current Prime deal. Everything in that line is 25% off.

I got my Yamaha on a lightning deal (15% off, free ship, 3rd party shipper meant no tax), but am seeing no midrange-priced guitars on prime days.

That's how I found this tuner for $15 during a lightning deal. It got a decent review on Premier Guitar so figured I'll give it a try.

I'm sure there are some deals from the Prime Days that are attractive. But I think there are things going on that aren't quite advertised as Prime Day deals. One such deal was a padded strap that I had been looking at. I had one just like it and it was previously listed at $65 (I got mine a few months ago for at a fraction of the $65 price, which I'm sure was some sort of pricing error, and jumped to $65 the day after mine arrived). From that time it continued to be priced at $65 until Sunday. Then the price dropped to $48. One day later, Monday, I saw it had dropped to $43. I had some promotional credit in my account so I jumped on it this morning.

So, was this strap part of a Prime Day promotion, or just Amazon wanting to clear the inventory (sold and shipped by Amazon, btw)?
