We're in Day 2 of Amazon's "Big Deals Days," which is basically an October Prime Day sales event. In fact, it's Prime Day in all but name, with the best deals on Amazon devices, some really excellent deals on gaming monitors, and about a million more things getting a generous discount. Seriously, I think there are literally one million deals. (Don't quote me on that, please). Anyway, these are the items that have been popping off based on IGN Deals social media posts since Amazon opened the deals floodgates on Tuesday, Oct 8th.
The 6 Most Popular October Prime Day Deals on Social Media
PlayStation Portal
Sony PlayStation Portal (Used, "Like New")
As the name already implies, this is a used PlayStation Portal in “like new” condition, but if you have Prime there’s an additional 20% savings when you check out, bringing the price way, way down. Absolutely loved the Portal, and I didn’t expect to.
Best Price Ever
Elago Retro Magnetic Phone Charging Stand
I posted this one because I actually own this, and while it doesn’t have anything in the way of bells or whistles, it does have style. Ask anyone who knows me, they’ll tell you about my style. It’s on sale for an all-time new low-price, too. 
KOBE!
Badgoal Indoor Basketball Hoop With LED Scoreboard
This is nicer than the scoreboard we had at my high school. Full disclosure, I went to a crappy high school. But this super cheap indoor hoop and basketball set is also super-popular, and at $39.99, why not work on your dunks?
Expired Deal
LEGO Super Mario 64 Question Block
This deal went up at the butt-crack of dawn, and if you happened to be awake, you could have gotten it for $139.99 instead of its usual $199.99. It was a Lightning Deal, meaning once the allotted number sold, the deal ended. 
Expired Deal
LEGO Star Wars Podrace Diorama
Another excellent Lightning Deal that went, as the name implies, fast. This one was going for $55.99 earlier today, and as someone who actually owns this set, I gotta say, it’s actually really cool. Hoping the deal comes back again.
PS5 Compatible
Samsung 2TB 990 Pro SSD w/heatsink
This PS5- compatible SSD deal was already popular and then Amazon went ahead and dropped the price even more. This is actually the best price it’s ever been, so go and get one.
That's just day one, and a small sampling of how many deals I'm posting. A lot of these deals come and go within minutes. What I'm getting at here is it's in your best interest to add IGNDeals to your social media diet each day. It's particularly important during major sales when the tempo is so fast that the deals could sell out before you even click the link if you wait on it.
