How to “Win” a Lightning Deal
1. Check the “Claimed” Bar: If a deal is 90% claimed, add it to your cart *immediately*. You have 15 minutes to decide before it expires in your cart.
2. Join the Waitlist: If a deal is 100% claimed, join the waitlist. People often let the timer expire in their carts, releasing the item to the next person (you).
3. Use Keepa or CamelCamelCamel: Before you impulse buy, paste the URL into these price trackers. Is it *really* a deal? Or did they raise the price yesterday just to “drop” it today?
- *Real Deal:* Price is at its lowest in 3 months.
- *Fake Deal:* Price is same as it was last week, but marked as “20% off” MSRP.
