This is sound advice.

I was using a friend's laptop one time and 1-clicked him a box of Astroglide Anal Shooters :rofl2:

The next time he rode in our car (Accord Coupe), he stashed several of them in various crevices in the backseat. We're fairly certain there was still one left when we traded the Accord for the Acura we have now :roflpuke2:

I gotta say, I hate Amazon's emails... And their recommendations are ok, but for the most part, I just don't care

I think even at 99$ its still a huge bargain if you actually use amazon. (Dont tell amazon this :D ) the shipping alone is probably worth it, but the library of movies is awesome and always expanding. Plus there are always prime exclusive deals that sweeten it.

I'm pretty sure this lawsuit has merit...

They charged me OVER MSRP on something once... No where sold it and I needed it quick... Just pissed me off that after a few months, I saw that the MSRP was lower than what I paid

I tested this on a few items I buy when I heard about it, was logged into my account and on another PC not logged in and pricing was the same. Plus the items I am buying are already cheaper than buying from a local store so I am still saving.

I appreciate Sunday shipping, but I do not appreciate USPS being used more and more...
Fúck USPS

What did you buy? And was it from amazon or was it one of those companies who sell on amazon and fulfilled by amazon.

yah, one would need to cross shop to get the best deals as you would at a regular store. when i see a fulfilled by amazon or amazon tenant selling something, i always check ebay for the same seller before i make the purchase on amazon.

amazon sometimes has some amazing deals though selling waaay under wat most stores are selling at. the problem is, there is no guarantee how long they will keep the same price.

for example, i bought something at a great deal in the morning, decided i wanted another one, and the price was near 50% higher by noon. :eekdance:

like used car buying, better get on the deal when you see one cause there's no guarantee how long that price or item's going to last. :icon17:
