I put a new laptop and a three-year warranty in the shopping cart, then ignored it until late on Monday. The warranty dropped from $250 to $80, which means I saved over $400 on the combined purchase. Score!

I ordered a used book from Amazon partner, for $0.01 plus 3.99 shipping. I was hoping it would be half off, but it was still one cent.

Nothing. I was watching quite a bit for a couple things.

One did turn up, but already sold out. I hadn’t seen it on the upcoming lightning deals. Ugh.

I did do a non-BF lighting deal a few weeks ago. A 5" touchscreen display for Raspberry Pi. Sweet.

I’ll still keep watching. Got some gift card balance to burn off.
