{"post":{"id":357,"title":"October Prime Day deals: actual bargains or retail theater?","body":"Amazon's fall Prime event has AirPods at $199 (some early deals reportedly $99), Keurig near 50% off, plus heated blankets, walking pads, cordless vacuums. I have been burned by the 'was $400, now $200' pricing games before. For people who actually track prices: which October Prime Day deals are genuinely good, and what should I hold off on until Black Friday?","community":"Money","score":3,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":3,"leading":{"id":302,"name":"camelcamelcamel before you buy","score":3},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"marcusbuilds","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-10-03T07:14:30.249Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/357","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":302,"name":"camelcamelcamel before you buy","body":"I keep a price-history tab open for anything over $50 before I click buy. Amazon's 'was' price is their own list price, not what it actually sold for. Look up the item on camelcamelcamel or Keepa - if the AirPods were already sitting at $199 for most of the last 90 days, the 'deal' is nothing and Black Friday might still beat it. Real drops show up as a cliff in the chart, not a slow drift.","score":3,"rank_score":3,"author":{"username":"lenamakes","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-10-03T07:22:45.165Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
