Find Amazon bargains!

By Haje Jan Kamps

I just stumbled over a clever tip over at the Consumerist – Basically, there’s a clever way of searching on Amazon.com, where you can find deals on photography gear at massive discounts! Set your credit card to stun…

The trick is quite cunning – all you have to do is to hack the URL a little bit, allowing you to find deals with a certain percentage off the recommended retail price!

Collected in an useful list here:

Fabulous, yes? Of course, (forgive me for the ruthless nameplugging) you can also get my book at 35% off from Amazon :-)

Fabulous stuff. Thanks for the tip, Consumerist!

Do you enjoy a smattering of random photography links? Well, squire, I welcome thee to join me on Twitter - Follow @Photocritic

Anyone know if this can be done with other catagories, such as books, and if so, how one knows how to hack into the url?

Hmm, not a single Canon L series lens in the 90 percent off category…

Strange… :P

bummer Andrew, I was thinking the same thing (but for Nikon)… really good deals on really crappy stuff… Cool tip though! I am sure with enough time on my hands I could find at least ONE thing that I could use! :)

Some of those in the 90% off category at least are ridiculously overpriced to begin with. Over $100 for a 256MB SD Card? It’s not a deal even with the 90% off.

it’s weird that i’m not jealous you wrote a book, simply that you have an author’s page on amazon.

It doesn’t work for amazon.co.uk unfortunately! It comes back saying nothing is avilable with x% off! Looks like the US has much better bargains!
