peppysfireball Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 As soon as you can , xms is only 2 3/4 months away and amazon mom comes with 3 months of free prime. If you buy any qualifying stuff, it extends 1 month I was able to do this last year..... What would be a good date to try and sign up again this year to be able to get in on all the christmas deals?
magickallight Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Has anyone else noticed that ever since Amazon had that major price "mistake" on all those toys last week that finding even their normal sale prices is almost impossible?!? Could those have been "Black Friday Specials" posted at the wrong time - or perhaps Amazon has special toy deal hot deals coming up for us soon... Don't know - but have NEVER seen their prices on toys and video games (especially Outlet Items) so HIGH in price!
tinkrbel Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 OMG.....the 1st dollhouse and the rocketship posted a bit ago are too cute. I emailed bff a link to both since I can't go crazy this year and already have stuff for her kids(my gs and honorary niece). Mia already has the barbie 3 story house but as Max loves to play with it, I think the rocketship would be perfect for him. PLUS it would make daddy feel better since he is a little worried by his son emulating his daughter

ourhappyfamily4 Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Anyone think that Amazon will do a Price dip on the Fijits? I see that they are already down to $39.xx which is $10 cheaper than the stores already. I'm hoping i can catch one on sale with Amazon and then return the one i have on lay away at Kmart lol

I'm hoping i can catch one on sale with Amazon and then return the one i have on lay away at Kmart lolI saw that price drop today too - considered posting it in toy deals thread. I would hope it would go lower, but Amazon is a toss up lately - you just never know. Anyone else want to chime in on this?

Anyone else want to chime in on this?The $39.xx is the "regular" price on them at Walmart now, so I don't think Amazon will go back up. I'm hoping for at least $29.99 before I bite.

jbest5 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I bought for TOT's at the Target sale, we donate each year. Last year we brought a bunch and was filling up the box when people actually stopped and watched us load the box up, then a volunteer just happened to show up to empty the box and thanked us many times over, she said that the donations were way down compared to years past. My husband has been out of work for three months and not a good year for us but I still bought some, it makes us feel good.It would be great to see more so willing to give to the less fortunate! Money is tight I know but it don't cost allot to brighten a child's Christmas! You truely are to be commended God Bless.
ourhappyfamily4 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 where are all the amazon toy deals??? come on Amazon!
ourhappyfamily4 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Ok, what is going on.. Amazon is being way too slow this year. ( I got my $50 credit from buying the Ps3 deal they offered) So I'm ready to spend it not.. Bring on the sales Amazon! : )
mom2monkiesx3 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I agree ..C'mon Amazon....I seriously need to stop buying so much year round so that you HAVE to have a great holiday sale to get my business..oh who am I kidding ?? but really, pretty depressing Amazon God's

But this year, I'm thinking they should just go ahead and start early lol. : )
tinkrbel Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 OK folks I'm now on the lookout for newborn to 1.5yo toys for somewhere between 5-10 but worth more. Anyone keeping an eye out for this stuff?
tlklcox Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Wow! Glad I'm not the only one who have found the deals less than appealing. I am getting worried.
Fishboysmom Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Anyone know if Amazon is going to have their huge toy sale again?
sherril Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Anyone know if Amazon is going to have their huge toy sale again?thats why i keep checking on here :)
egirl Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Does anyone have the prime membership even the trial membership? I am looking to see if I can find something to temporarily add me to their prime membership. You can add someone by putting in their email address and date of birth....they can't see or do anything with your account just gives them the prime membership when the log into their account to use for shipping. Thanks.
scrapfor4 Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Looks like my first order for the big sale was Dec. 9th last year.
peppysfireball Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 All you need to do is make another gmail address, open another amazon account and sign up for amazon mom. It comes with 3 months of free prime. I've done it 5 times now. Does anyone have the prime membership even the trial membership?

epgpjp Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 If I did that to make a new account, I would not be able to use my gift card balance from the account I have now then would I? Or is there a way I could? Possbly make my husband the new account and have him friend me into it? would that work? If so, any specific details on how I would go about doing it would be great to have. thanks! All you need to do is make another gmail address, open another amazon account and sign up for amazon mom.

noehlp Posted December 3, 2011 Author Posted December 3, 2011 Moved some posts from the Amazon Toy Thread over to this thread. Some notes from me:1) I LOVE the Amazon Toy Deals, BUT my kids are getting older and aren't huge into toys. I have some toy items in my cart (I check price updates/changes in my cart SEVERAL times a day around this time of year), but most are electronics, movies, books, clothes, video games, etc.I don't always go into the Toy Section on Amazon every day, I just don't have the time it takes now (see #2).With it getting closer to what everyone hopes is Amazon's yearly great toy prices, I urge you all to check your own carts for big price drops. That's a big tell-tale sign - if you have several of them at the same time, then it's time to start scouring the toy section on amazon. And then of course posting those good deal prices on toys sold by Amazon in the toy thread. 2) Amazon's sorting and browsing functions have really gone down hill over the years - and this year is NOT better, but worse, imho. Thus, making finding toy deals VERY time consuming. The 'sort' function really doesn't work. The 'shop by' function sort of works. But, here's a bigger issue I've noticed this year. Let's say I'm browsing under Dolls & Girls Toys category, and I've chosen Amazon as the seller - the prices I see while browsing may not always be the price of the item when I pull up the item - if that makes a lot sense to you. In the past you could rely on the prices while browsing, but now not always. It's really random too. This means you almost have to pull up each item to get the best & accurate pricing sold by Amazon. I have no idea why it's doing this, and it's not a one-time fluke for me. 3) If you have questions about how to find toy deals or do the posts - feel free to ask in this thread - other GottaDealers' will gladly help you. I will also swing in and try to help you out.
Kayshar13 Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Where the heck are all the deals amazon??? Am I the only one starting to get really nervous? The amazon toy thread is usually booming with deals by now!
