Amazon discount tendencies..can anyone help me?

#1 Sun, 11 Jul 2004 - 02:39 MacNN

I was simply wondering if anyone knows how the discount cycles at amazon work, because the i830 for nextel is discounted at 150$ but it was 250$ at the end of june and the current "buy before" date goes up until the 14th of this month. Can anyone who shops alot on amazon or anyone who works there fill me in with some info???

I doubt they have a pattern - whatever they can get for it...

Two things:

1. your sig is WAY too big. Sigs are 130x35 here. /signazi
2. why do you want the price to go up?

I think what he means is the discount used to be $250 (the phone's price?) and then went down to $150, but he wants it to go back up to $250 so the phone is free?

That'd be my guess. I'm just hoping when t-mobile offers the V600 they do so with a deep discount on amazon

Ah. That explains the price bit, but please fix your sig size.

140x40.
