Perhaps it is on some things, but not on anything I've ever ordered.

Things I order on Prime day are things I buy from time to time or have been looking at for a couple of weeks prior to Prime day.

They always go down for Prime day and go back up after prime day is over. Mrs. Flash said I saved around $50.00 this last time and yes, she keeps track of prices.

Was this over the phone or an email chat? I could not find a phone number on their site.

I ordered a Timex running watch from them, it came fast but with a dead battery. Return was easy, the replacement watch came fast. Also with a dead battery. Now I'm waiting for the credit to show on our MasterCard.

Over online chat. I can't ever get a phone number that works. But the chat feature is usually great.

Regarding Prime Day, I guess it depends. The watch was $329 when I first ordered it. Prime day it was $279. So that's a $50 savings. After Prime Day it was $369, it's highest yet. So I can't say it's a scam for me. But I'm sure it depends on the product and availability.
