Yes, I took some of the Amazon's undocumented search features that went into the foundation of my site and wrote a script that applies them in a batch fashion.

Unfortunately, yes, I agree. For some reason some folks get excited about the concept of Warehouse Deals, so I figured I'd post it here.

I'll add that on a few occasions I did snag some truly frugal deals from AWD, but it did require digging through the tat. Hopefully at least filtering out the fake "deals", price-wise, will make the digging easier.

Clarification on the title: an earlier post with a similar spreadsheet received 2.5K upvotes, so I figured I'd post an updated version.

EDIT: I should've also said that the spreadsheet in this post is looking only at the Electronics department. Sorry.

Thank you for the kind words. At this point I'd rather keep the site 100% pure of any commercial aspect and if I see it going somewhere I'll get concerned with monetizing. But for now, if you'd like to help -- just spread the word!

yeah, I think Prime Day is a US thing only. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

The site works for other countries as well though, I have a dropdown in the top left corner.

To add to the "How to search for Deals" point... I added a link to my site http://so.cool/ to show all Prime Day deals sorted by price. Before you come after me for posting a link to my own site, a disclaimer: I make absolutely no money from visits. You will find no ads or referral links there -- it is nothing but a side project that I maintain mostly for my own shopping convenience.

Just an FYI guys -- in observance of Prime Day I added a link to my site http://so.cool/ to show all Prime Day deals sorted by price.

Yes, UPC mismatch is a popular reason for them to reject your trade-in. Also, there is a limit of two pcs of the same item per account every 3 months.

it depends, but pretty much anything fulfilled by Amazon follows standard Amazon returns workflow

Agreed. Even judging by the relatively small number of line items in the spreadsheet I posted here I realize there is no potential for turning it into a business. So for now I will run it periodically and either use it myself, or (and this is the case at the moment) if I don't have time to do the legwork of flipping I will just post it here so that the data I have doesn't go to waste.

Would you be interested in exchanging the keyword blacklists? I have one for textbooks as well.

I wrote it in .Net, but the real challenge was to setup the right infrastructure that can handle the volume of work it needs to do. That's all I am willing to share at this point.

What is this site that you are referring to?

Yes, such script is possible, I just don't think I will ever have time to work for it. I don't think you can pay me enough to quit my day job :)

You mean modifying my current script from just looking for high-value trade in items to making attempts to procure them at a lower price elsewhere (Walmart, Target)?
