Quote from: LTN1 on November 25, 2016, 04:00:43 PMAs of almost 4 P.M. PST, I'm seeing Amazon listing the OBi200 at $35.95 with free shipping only if the purchase is over $49. Since it is a lightning deal, who knows how many minutes it will be there for?

I searched earlier today, and looked at every upcoming, current and missed lightening deal for today, and it wasn't there. I imagine it is utter mayhem at Amazon today, managing all those fleeting sales.Anyhow, yep, I am a Prime member, and it would let me buy one right now for that price, with free shipping.I feel like buying OBis is like buying lobster at a restaurant. "Market price"! I bought a 200 last year, 11/27 to be exact, on Newegg's black November sale, for $29.99.
Quote from: SteveInWA on November 25, 2016, 06:14:38 PMThat is why they are called Lightning deals. They're only up for a few hours, and/or until the allotted number that Amazon determines, is sold out.If you don't like how Amazon does business, then don't shop there. I agree that their Lightning deals are a PITA, but I've gotten lots of good buys that way.

Quote from: Ember1205 on November 28, 2016, 02:46:45 PMJust ONCE I would like to see them advertise the sales properly. What's the point in telling us about the sales in advance if none of the information is correct?
Quote from: mellaby on December 01, 2016, 07:02:26 PMI'm glad I ordered from Jet last week. The $34.85 was the best price offered. Also the setup on the new 200 was a piece of cake (5 min).

Am I not entitled to complain that Obihai never has these things 'on sale' here in the UK?Mind you, the USA meaning of 'On sale' is different from that in Blighty. 'On sale' just means it is for sale ie it can be bought. Does not necessarily mean a reduced price. "Item x goes on sale on 10th January" is just another way of saying its release date.
