Cheap Tacky 'Deals'

Never heard of a good, quality £4 watch. A basic one starts at £15 ~ £20.

Sorry you had a bad experience and I agree. Deals like those use a fake RRP to pretend the customer is getting a massive discount.

The flash Amazon sales are an absolute con. For instance I see things on there that are reportedly 90% off in the flash deal. When in fact they would cost that 10% with the same seller on any other day.

I steer well clear.

That’s the problem ordering online not being able to feel the goods. I assume you could have returned the watch to Amazon for a refund.

I agree with the other comments, the flash deals that offer 90% discounts are usually fake prices, I also stay clear of them.

Most deals are not very good including shops on the high Street and supermarkets

As my Grandma would say, you get what you pay for and buy cheap buy twice. I Personally will only order if I can return for free, a lot of junk out there.

And all this plastic tat will be with us for years ruining the environment too.

I always look at reviews if the deal seems to be too good to be true. Usually will find these kind of bad quality products have no reviews at all.

Thats ridiculous I try only to buy from website I know, can you not return it I hate not seeing the items first thats the worse about online shopping

Not exactly cheap but Jet2 holidays have some cracking prices to Benidorm in March. Much cheaper than the other companies. For instance, 3 weeks, half board plus (unlimited drinks with your evening meal) - £1200. That works out as £200 per person per week. Food, flights and transfers

I tend to avoid anything that sounds too good . I bought a present on one of these deals and was ashamed to give it instead got a refund

I never really look at the flash deals, simply because I forget but agreed you would probably get what you paid for.

It's a lesson I'm sure many of us have learnt at some point when deal hunting,

I recommend always looking for reviews and question the pice If it seems to good. These days I'm trying to be more conscious of what I buy and save money buy not buying cheap unnecessary items that I don't need, but it's not always easy.

Yes many awful deals on latestdeals. I recently say a bicycle alarm for £12.99 down from a so called £65.00 price and I've seen those on ebay go for about £4 in the past probably more like £6 now. The £65 price of course is a complete fabrication. Even a private seller could list something on ebay for £80 and then 2 weeks later reduce it to £10 and ebay will state a huge reduction in the price. It's just basic manipulation. Just focus on the end price and whether that is a real deal. I've seen deals on Amazon where they have been really cheap and they don't even mention it as a special deal often its because they are down to the last unit and just want to clear it out they heavily discount it, maybe they want the shelf space in the warehouse allocated to something else.

Whatever you are buying from Amazon spend time before pressing the button just checking the same product isn't available for less somewhere else or even at Amazon under a different listing page.

I bought a Wake bicycle stem for £3.79 here not mentioned as an offer.

It's the same as this one for £14.99; You could have had 4 for the price of 1 basically when it was in stock.
