Certainly Amazon does contain many products that are highly discounted ? sometimes as much as 99%, with many products discounted between 80% ? 99%? But are these items presented to you when you search the Amazon websites, or are they hidden away from view?
Amazon itself denies this accusation saying that all products they stock, not matter what discount they may carry or profit margin they may yield, can be seen on the Amazon websites.
Amazon Bargain Hunting!
Independent experiments have been undertaken to see if there is any truth to the ?Amazon hidden bargain? theory. I carried out such an experiment myself recently searching Amazon.com for a variety of highly discounted products that I knew were lurking somewhere within the website, and the results were interesting.
Without going into details in this article, the general conclusion I reached was that many of the products I was searching for did not show in the first 15 pages of Amazon?s search results.
Of course the search results you get at Amazon is very much dependent on the search term you use, and which department of Amazon you restrict your search to (if any): the more specific the search term, the more likely the product you are searching for will be seen in the search results.
Of course, many people searching Amazon will be using generic search terms such as ?men?s watch? rather than say ?Invicta Men?s 1461 Vintage Collection Riveted Leather Strap Brown Dial Watch?. If you use the first generic search term ?men?s watch? you are unlikely to be presented with the highly discounted product the second search term actually is! But when you do such a search you don?t know that the ?Invicta Men?s 1461 Vintage Collection Riveted Leather Strap Brown Dial Watch? is discounted 93% off normal list price so you are not likely to use such a specific search term!
Conclusion
Amazon may not be ?hiding? the real bargains it contains on purpose, but from my experience because of the way Amazon works it can take a long time and some luck and juggling of search terms and departments to find them!
For this reason, if you really want to find the bargains on Amazon it is a good idea to use one of the ?Amazon Discount Finder? websites that exist out there now that can pre-filter the products for you. This is a strategy that saves time as well as money. Search on ?amazon discount finder? or similar term to locate these websites.
It is definitely a better way to proceed when looking for reasonable products that you need for presents for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and similar occasions where you need a quality item but want it at a great price.
