0:17
point of this video basically I'll just
0:19
cut to the chase
0:21
I wrote this old blog post and I updated
0:24
recently and people are still fans of
0:27
the Amazon Echo Dot 3.
0:30
so I'll give you some quick tips on how
0:32
you can find one and purchase
0:35
what you can do is
0:38
on the bottom of the Amazon Echo Dot 3
0:41
you can look for the model number I
0:44
included a model number here for my blog
0:47
post with the B what is it zero seven
0:51
nine two k t hkj that is a real Amazon
0:57
Echo dot three model number you could
0:59
search for that you could look for it on
1:02
the bottom of the Amazon Echo dot three
1:05
anywhere on it maybe in the packaging if
1:08
you don't see it you can also look for
1:10
the part number
1:12
you could also look for a serial number
1:14
look for a label a sticker
1:18
on the Amazon Echo dot three on the
1:21
bottom now the Amazon Echo dot four was
1:25
larger
1:26
and then was released before the Amazon
1:29
echo.3 I think was retired it's been a
1:31
few years since the Amazon Echo Dot 3
1:35
was released and then
1:38
it's been a few years since it's
1:39
actually officially retired but there is
1:42
a demand for it some people like
1:46
the Amazon Echo dot three okay so then
1:50
you can perform an internet search with
1:51
a model number if you don't know the
1:54
model number you can't find it the
1:56
stickers
1:58
rubbed off or I don't know you know what
2:00
I'm saying you could perform an internet
2:02
search just for Amazon Echo dot three
2:05
it's the third generation
2:07
and then that's all you may have to type
2:11
in you can use Google
2:13
Bing DuckDuckGo start page Etc at
2:17
nauseam Edison item
2:21
another thing you could do is if you
2:24
can't find it on an internet search and
2:27
you know you should the other day I
2:29
performed in a search and I found
2:32
I think even new ones available on
2:36
eBay
2:40
what you could do is you could go
2:42
directly to eBay browse to ebay.com and
2:46
user search look for Amazon Echo dot
2:48
three or you could also search for the
2:51
part number
2:53
and model number I don't know if the
2:55
serial number would do you much good
2:57
when trying to find it like
3:01
oh why would people include it in the
3:04
product description you know what I'm
3:06
saying
3:08
anyways I digress you could also try
3:11
Amazon amazon.com use their
3:14
built-in search
3:17
tool you know what I'm saying search for
3:19
Amazon Echo dot three or search for
3:21
Amazon third General Echo third
3:24
generation Echo dot third generation
3:28
Craigslist too you may find one on
3:31
Craigslist
3:33
you may want to purchase a new one but
3:36
that's just up to you maybe your current
3:38
Amazon Echo dot three
3:41
no longer functions it might probably
3:45
not under warranty unless you what
3:47
purchased
3:49
oh I don't even know if you if you can I
3:51
don't even know if you could still
3:53
purchase
3:54
support for that device
3:57
whatever reason that you want or maybe
3:59
you want another one or you know just in
4:02
case you love your Amazon Echo dot three
4:04
and basically the Amazon Echo dot three
4:07
was it and if you still have one is a
4:10
wireless speaker it's not the first one
4:12
it was a third generation on screen it
4:16
was compatible with Google Android the
4:18
Google Android operating system Google
4:20
Android devices the Apple iPhone
4:21
operating system the Amazon Fire
4:22
operating system and and quite a few
4:25
smart home devices
4:30
that's for new
4:32
you you could yeah the other day I'm
4:35
pretty sure a few days ago maybe a few
4:37
weeks ago I saw some brand new ones
4:39
still in their packaging on eBay what
4:42
you can do
4:43
is before you purchase it just just
4:46
verify that the seller stipulates that
4:50
it is new in box original packaging
4:53
never been opened
4:55
and then you could look on Amazon eBay
4:59
and Craigslist and just perform an
5:02
internet search there may be some
5:04
smaller
5:06
website some third-party companies that
5:09
actually have them what happens with
5:11
products is that the manufacturers
5:13
manufacturer whatever millions of them
5:16
whatever whatever the numbers are if
5:18
there's not enough demand
5:20
those products are sitting somewhere in
5:23
a warehouse you know what I'm saying and
5:25
then but people still sell them and then
5:28
even years after it but and also some
5:30
people just
5:32
like that particular product here's a
5:36
quick story a few years ago I had a
5:38
client customer individual that had a
5:43
printer that no longer worked
5:45
and I think it may have been a Canon
5:47
whatever doesn't matter brand doesn't
5:49
matter
5:51
I tried to help them
5:54
fix their problem and get their printer
5:56
working it was a hardware problem just
5:59
all anyways the point of it is I quickly
6:03
performed an internet search for the
6:05
exact printer brand and printer model
6:09
number and I found it within a few
6:12
seconds and I think I found it on Amazon
6:14
I found the exact same printer the exact
6:16
same model the same brand obviously in
6:19
its original packaging in a box brand
6:23
new and that individual
6:29
loved it loved what I did for them
6:32
no I didn't I asked them too I go well
6:35
would you want do you want to the exact
6:38
same person you may think it's crazier
6:40
and saying I don't that printer I think
6:43
was like five or ten years old it was
6:45
already pretty old but it their their
6:48
original one just kept working and they
6:51
didn't want to change so that could be
6:53
another reason why there still is a
6:55
demand I don't know what
6:57
the statistics are I couldn't tell you
6:59
if it's a strong demand or I don't know
7:01
there are some people that are still
7:03
interested in how to still buy an Amazon
7:07
Echo dot three because they liked it it
7:10
just serves a purpose
7:12
it has Siri it has all that well not
7:14
Siri it has Alexa and all that
7:17
obnoxiousness so that that's basically
7:19
the tips just just use the internet
7:22
whether it's used whether it's new or I
7:26
don't know about refurbished I'm not
7:27
sure if there would be any that are
7:28
refurbished there could be I didn't find
7:31
any on Amazon but I only checked one
7:34
time but I did find some brand new ones
7:36
on eBay
7:41
just quickly going over the Amazon Echo
7:43
dot three
7:45
it has Alexa what else it it was
7:48
compatible with I think 10 000 yet right
7:50

8:02
thermostat you can use it to control
8:04
smart televisions
8:06
you know what I'm saying it's it's one
8:08
of those internet of things which
8:10
I have a derogatory term for that I'm
8:13
not a big fan of all this but I realize
8:15
there's a demand look check this out
8:19
you can turn on your lamp Your Light
8:22
lamp in bed you can
8:27
you can turn off the coffee maker you
8:29
can turn on the coffee maker
8:32
you can dim the lights this is I'll just
8:35
tell you what my derogatory term is and
8:37
I don't [ __ ] care if I offend people
8:39
I don't I thought just I just don't you
8:42
know what I'm saying
8:44
the internet of stupid things now there
8:47
are some devices that that to me are
8:49
maybe productive I'm not that lazy you
8:52
know I don't need a device to turn all
8:54
that off I try to stay fit I try to stay
8:57
as thin as I can I try to watch what I
8:58
eat I try to get exercise I go outside
9:01
and get that by that hormone called by
9:04
you know the sunlight you know what I'm
9:06
saying I don't need an Amazon Echo dot
9:09
three to you know start up my vehicle
9:11
but hey
9:12
there is a demand for these and and
9:14
people actually like the Amazon Echo dot
9:16
three and I don't know why Amazon
9:19
retired it it's about what every two
9:22
years on average I went back and kind of
9:25
checked historically it seems about
9:27
every two years Amazon
9:29
manufactures a brand new Echo I think
9:33
what what is the current one six I think
9:35
now
9:38
um I I know there was four there's at
9:40
least five there may be six or the sixth
9:43
is in the works you know what I'm saying
9:44
it's just a bit strange and then what
9:47
about all those Amazon Echo dot you know
9:50
one two three that just work just fine
9:54
for people also the price originally
9:57
when the Amazon Echo dot three was
10:00
released years and years ago now
10:02
it was what over 200 closer to 300 brand
10:06
new some somewhere around there now it's
10:09
less than a hundred so what you can do
10:11
and I'm kind of a fan of that I'm not a
10:13
fan of the internet of things because it
10:15
gets ridiculous you know you got to have
10:18
your toaster on the internet you got to
10:20
download I guess your toaster your
10:22
toaster needs to know when there's new
10:24
bread and
10:27
your your toaster needs you know
10:29
instructions on how to not burn that
10:32
toast and it has to have a database and
10:35
and then also has to be able to
10:38
you know search the internet and because
10:40
in case there's new bread out there that
10:42
that it might you know burn or I don't
10:45
know it gets silly however
10:49
I am kind of a proponent of wait and see
10:53
brand new yeah that that Porsche Cayenne
10:56
might be a hundred thousand dollars yeah
10:58
brand new with all the gadgets and and
11:00
all that computerized
11:02
you know what I'm saying you could wait
11:04
a year and it may drop price might drop
11:06
down to
11:08
eighty thousand so in this instance
11:11
whether you need a replacement or you
11:14
just liked it or
11:16
you never owned an Amazon Echo at all
11:19
but you could yeah I think they're
11:21
around I would say around 50 60. do not
11:24
quote me on that and you might be able
11:25
to find a brand new one all right how to
11:28
still buy Amazon Echo Dot 3 wireless

12:01
three adios
