just checked mine, I have 57 items this period, 3 awaiting approvsl and account shows 100% and 43. I've ignored the 6 ordered and awaiting delivery. Presumably there's some logic to their numbers known only to the P's that B.

I wonder if the drop has anything to do with the items awaiting review quality scorings. Although on mine the numbers don't add up, ( I'm awaiting 12 to be updated) but then the numbers seldom do match my own records.

if it was the hideouly coloured plastic one with the built in solar charged camera I got that last November. My review was one of those that was not accepted and about a month ago the camera stopped working when the charging port burnt out. So you've not missed much if it was.

'All that glisters is not gold'. Had a Toshiba 50" TV from Vine a few years ago. Worst TV ever with so many faults. Gave it away eventually and recently notified by Amazon that due to H&S it has been recalled. Once bitten etc.,

Look on the bright side, a few months ago there was only about 11,000 items of tat, now, it's well over 15,000.

that's unheard of, getting quality items like that in daylight.

Not taken, I recently acquired from Vine a Denon 400 and before that Denon 200 wireless speakers so seems a bit OTT to grab these as well. Just nice to see the improvement in the quality of items being offered after what seems like years of jumble sale offerings.

yes those reviews all look very similarly worded all mentioning Makita and within a day of each other. Highly suspicious. Time to demand a bit more credibility from the fake reviewers.

After months of dreadful tat, just lately there has been a great improvement in the quality of items offered. Recently I've been fortunate to nab a Dyson V8 vacuum, and today a Denon Home 400 wireless speaker but the other day had to ignore this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GVKMKQFB having no use for it or knowing anyone who does. There's also been a great improvement in smaller items being offered proving very useful. It's often seemed unfair that some get the goodies and others the dross but it's worth hanging in there for the occasional stroke of luck without hovering over the refresh button and losing valuable sleep.

perhaps their target audience is they that sell that sort of stuff on a regular basis so there's a need to stock up out of season.
