+ 11am ET: went live for Prime members, 11:30am ET for Everybody else
+ 11:08am ET: 14% claimed (this is the initial wave of “add to carters” – once you add to cart, you have 15 minutes to checkout or you lose the discount. Strategically some people add an item to cart immediately, and use those fifteen minutes to decide whether to get it. Often (but not always) after the first 15 minutes, the % claimed drops
+ 11:17am ET: 26% claimed – no drop-off. The % claimed will likely jump at 11:30am ET as it opens up to non-Prime members
+ 11:19am ET: Q> why am I live-blogging a memory card lightning deal?
+ 11:20am ET: A> Iverson is the Answer – Practice! Practicing for Black Friday – because it is *GASP* just TWO MONTHS away!
+ 11:29am ET: 24% claimed
+ 11:32am ET: 28% claimed
+ 11:33am ET: TIP: if you are not going to buy a lightning deal, remove it from your shopping cart – otherwise Shopping Cart alerts will hound you on every Amazon browser window [okay, an exaggeration but if you have many tabs open, it can get annoying]
+ 11:39am ET: 32% claimed
+ and so forth, this concludes the live-blogging exercise 🙂
