Sounds like a loss leader marketing move

Should cost more than $2 to ship

But amazon saves me like $30 on the two video games I purchase each year.


Unfortunately my student rate ran its course. Was a solid $50 well spent IMO.

Some things are cheaper on Amazon, some are cheaper on Ebay. If it is the same price on Amazon I will buy it there because I know exactly what I am getting, and returns are easy. Not that hard.

Nobody in this thread can show me Amazon selling a $2 cigar cutter shipped free in 2 days no sales tax with no $100 yearly cover charge.

Prove me wrong and I'll ask the admins to ban me



How about them apples?

I don't want them to ban you, you provide entertainment value.

Sales tax is only applicable on items sold directly by Amazon itself. It's very easy to find a non-amazon seller for the same price tax free with prime.

It's almost like eBay where you select the cheapest seller.

Amazon copying eBay.

To be fair, you haven't shown us a $2 cigar cutter shipped free in 2 days either. Link to the item?

click the link above. Says you need to buy $25 worth to get free shipping on the cigar cutters.




No it doesnt. It actually offers me free 1 day shilping with my Prime acct. Try again. I also watched a few Amazon shows with my Prime acct last night. Cant do that through ebay or even Hulu or Netflix.

Is this your exciting conclusion about why Amazon sucks? Buying some worthless cigar cutter that won't last six months and you got it in two days when you could have gone to any place that sells cigars in the entire state and had the same 2$ cigar cutter immediately and only paid 2$.

Show me a link on eBay where I can order a big green egg, tax free and get it in 2 days please, or a pressure washer tax free delivered in 2 days. Then, and only then, would you be providing a valid new service.

Oh, and congrats on the cheap cigar cutter for your swisher sweets.
