PSA for Amazon shoppers: 3rd-party sellers hijacking listings of discontinued Amazon-branded products

This is a PSA for Amazon shoppers, especially for fans of Amazon’s own brands. Once upon a time Amazon had zero “house brands”. Then they shyly began with AmazonBasics and now they have dozens and dozens of their product brands that probably not even the people working at Amazon’s marketing can name them from memory.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, when some of the Amazon-branded (eg AmazonBasics) products get discontinued, some “crafty” 3rd-party sellers hijack the listings offering their own products and using existing reviews of the AmazonBasics products as instant credibility for their products.

Labor Day only: 60% off site-wide at CreativeLIVE

Happy Labor Day from CreativeLive as they are offering a 60% off sale site-wide on their classes. The price you see is the price you pay. No coupon needed. When the sale ends, the prices will go up. For example, a $199 class (the first one you see, “Fundamentals of Photography”) is now a $79 class thanks to the 60% off discount (or easier math to do 40% off on the original price instead of doing a multiplication (by 0.6) and a subtraction (from the full price).

This sale is great for classes that are rarely discounted or don’t get featured in the rotating free-to-watch-while-streaming classes at the ON-AIR schedule
