Amazon’s Gold Box can have some pretty good deals.

• Every day, a Deal of the Day. For instance, today it’s half-price Merrell running shoes for barefoot women (or something like that).
• Then they have the Lightning Deals that change every hour or two or three or four. These deals are good for that time span or until they sell out, whichever comes first. Right now, the Foscam Pan & Tilt IP/Network Camera is going for $69.99 instead of Amazon’s usual $84.95. A count-up bar lets you know the percentage sold of available stock. A count-down clock lets you know how much time is left on the deal.

The next Lightning Deal is promoted as “Save on healthy, great-tasting snacks from Sahale Snacks.” But we’ll have to wait almost three more hours to see the link and the price. (Or you can see their regular offerings on the Sahale Snacks page right now.)

Oh, I don’t know if the Merrell’s are half off Amazon’s regular price or half off the MSRP. Whatever the case, today’s Gold Box price on them is $49.99. (The camera is discounted $14.96 from their regular price.)

“New Deals. Every Day.” But you have to keep checking. I was going to suggest my @MarkWentFishing Twitter feed, but I don’t tweet every deal change in the Gold Box.

Who knows, you just might strike it rich in Amazon’s Gold Box. 🙄
