Amazon Prime Day is just about upon us, and even though it doesn’t technically start until tomorrow October 8th and end October 9th, there are still already a number of excellent opportunities to start saving. You might be after a new iPhone or perhaps a 4K TV. Maybe you’re hoping to find a good deal on a pair of noise-canceling headphones. See at Amazon I wish you the best in finding those deals, but right now here’s something you may not have realized you’re interested in — and that is a portable printer which is apparently over 90% off. It’s list price says $1,000, and right now it’s just $100. There’s also a coupon to save another $7 so you can get it for just $93. Let’s talk about the elephant in the room for a second. It this thing really worth a thousand dollars? The list price is stated over on Amazon for $1,000. This is true. Right now it’s 90% off with a current prince of $100 (minus the coupon savings). However, a quick peak into its price history — as of the time of writing this — the portable printer has been on Amazon for 216 days. It launched at the “discounted price” of $260 and then after its first month, dropped down to $140 where since it’s mostly flipped back and forth between being that price and $100. So really, I would call this a $140 portable printer that occasionally goes on sale for $100 or under — and right now is one of those occasions! This is all for the black model of the printer. There is also a brown version and that one actually is listed for $1,000 and has been since it hit Amazon. The only discernable difference is that one of them is black and one of them is brown. So if you were really hoping to have a portable printer in brown, I’d recommend getting it in black and then also purchasing this can of brown spray paint for six bucks. I cannot comment on how spray painting the printer will affect or not affect its performance. This small printer weighs only two pounds and is about the size of two mobile phones. It uses thermal paper so doesn’t require any ink or toner cartridges to print. Connect to it over Bluetooth and you’ll be able to print wirelessly on-the-go in black and white. Honestly, I think this is an especially handy too if you’re someone like me who doesn’t print anything but the occasional shipping label. Despite what it’s real price is, right now it’s the lowest it ever gets on Amazon so that’s still a pretty good deal. Get the 90% off thermal portable printer for just $93 after clipping the coupon.
