Myself I can't stand the media blitz that tries to talk up Prime Day every year.

I like hunting for bargains as much as anybody, I love checking out the used games at Gamestop or items on clearance at Best Buy, not least the reuse center at Ithaca where I might find a cassette or Video CD deck with karaoke features or a minidisc player.

Prime Day seems to be just a waste of time. I don't see any attractive prices on anything I want to buy. So many web sites scour Amazon for good deals and can't find any. It's a snoozer.

It's because Amazon buyers are used to Amazon prices.

It's literally been a decade or more since Prime Day, or Amazon in general, had the best prices online.

I’ve often seen items selling in physical stores (like a UV tooth whitening kit) for $40 and at Amazon for $65.
