Sounds like not everyone is happy with today's big Amazon Prime Day.

Who needs them when we have GRM subscriptions for half off. Yes, half! That's a full year of entertainment for just $10. Tim's out of town and we're giving away the store.

To take advantage of this incredibly crazy offer, go here and enter promo code hoho.

Thanks and have a nice day.

Does the half price and free shirt apply with the promo code? I clicked on the shirt size but didn't see a place for the promo code.

I had considered starting a thread about Prime Day.
I have checked but not seen any items that I really want. I thought maybe somehow I was just missing the good buys and wondered what others had found.
In general, the sale seem like a warehouse clearing of overstocked and slow selling items more than Black Friday type price drops.

Doc, look right below the t-shirts and you'll see the box for the promo code. Fill it in for the half-price deal--but sorry, we can't do t-shirts on that price.

In reply to JohnRW1621:

I just tried to buy a pocketknife. I clicked within a few seconds of becoming available and the site was stuck. Had to click ad to cart about 10 times before it responded then it said the deal was sold out. So, for me, Prime day was about 10 minutes of frustration. I'm sitting the rest of the day out.

The Amazon Prime bitch article is funny. It's all stuff that nobody wants AND it's instantly sold out! Umm, if nobody wants it, how is it selling out? I'm not surprised the site is overloaded, the biggest online retailer...in the world...has been pushing this hard so everyone's got buying fever.

I'm feeling bad for the UPS delivery guys on Friday. That's when all the two-day shipping packages hit the porch.

The 40" and 32" tv's seemed like ok deals. Not sure if they're sold out yet. The rest felt like the online version of dollar store meets HF.

oh wait, I was thinking about a new computer monitor. maybe there are 32"ers left.

How does the Mgmt (tm) feel about a sale on CMS subs?

Had a look at prime days this morning.

I can't be bothered digging through all that garbage to find one or two deals on stuff I don't really need anyway.

Yes, hoho works on Classic Motorsports subscriptions, too.

I'm going to spread the word - the Miata guys are already wound up about that cover article in the next issue, this will probably put them over the edge.

Thanks. The MX-5 piece came out pretty darn cool.

Name your deal, eh? How about I renew my CM sub and instead of the next issue you send me a Nov 2006 CM back issue in its place?

I just re-upped a few months ago, but would again if you threw in a BLACK shirt instead of the white that I have two already.

Ordered a Kindle Fire 7HD for $79, $60 off from $139. When I added it to my cart (kart?) it took 30-45 seconds to think about it, but after that it was smooth sailing.

I'm not sure but it might be a "2014 model year."
