Through Amazon’s Trade-in program. I dug an old (1st generation) Chromecast out of a pile of old junk / stuff, sent it off to Amazon and got credit for $2.99 on the trade. Free money, as I hadn’t used the thing for several years (they paid the shipping).
Here’s the good part: When you buy a new 4K Fire Stick or a Fire TV Cube (with All-New Alexa Voice Remote), they dump a coupon into your Cart - $20 discount for the Stick, $35 for the Cube. I chose the Fire Stick and they still credited the $2.99 in addition to the discount.
So I got a Fire Stick 4K for $29.99. I need this like I need a hole in the head, but it will make a nice little present for somebody this Christmas season. I knew nothing about this Trade-in program, this was a good (surprising) experience for me.
It’s on sale for $35 right now, great price for a 4K streaming device, particularly when you consider the integrity with which it is built. Found this interesting Teardown last week:
This is a Black Friday price, looks like you can get it with an Echo Dot for $59 as well, don’t know how long these prices are good for but I’m sure they’ll come up with other nice deals as we head into black Friday.
Went back up to $49 on Amazon, but interestingly, QVC has them for $39 or two for $74. Echo Dot is still $20 off, at $29 (just four dollars more than Black Friday price).
As of this morning, you can get a 4K Fire Stick for $29. First, go to QVC and put one in your shopping cart. It’s listed at $39. During checkout process, enter the Coupon Code: TEN4U and that will bring it down to $29, which is less than Amazon itself.
