Most items on Amazon just aren't worth it anymore. The cut Amazon takes goes too far into margins that only the products with the highest margins (lowest production costs) remain on the platform. I assume the desk fan I'm getting is going to be cheaply built, but I don't need it to be amazing for a simple job.
Some big brands are worth buying from on there, but they must either have a deal with Amazon or only discount a small amount. And then typically the discount they do give will be echoed elsewhere at some point.
Prime Day is not a good time for a bargain. Black Friday is still okay, but again only really for big brands.

I find the best way of getting a bargain on Amazon is checking out their Warehouse Deals.
Although a lot of the time the discounts aren't great, especially on items described as 'like new' I've bought a few things from there at not far off half price because of a condition described as 'acceptable' which turned out to be something really minor; a small barely noticeable scratch [on a Makita power tool] or a missing rechargeable battery [on a Logitech keyboard, which took standard AA batteries anyway], another small, barely noticeable scratch [on a SanDisk MP3 player]
