For ages. That's what started my search for a better online store.


Gotcha. That backpack you ordered is available for $101.68 w/ Prime shipping, but sales tax is collected if required. Also available for ~$100 at other online retailers.

Nice try. I can get groceries sent to my door same day with my Prime subscription. Can also stream and buy everything in one location from a trusted seller. Returns are simple. Bezos is douche. Amazon is the shite.

Why do you blame Amazon for your state's greed in respect of sales taxes?

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$.


Nah. Everything I buy on eBay is free shipping.

The cigar cutter is pointing out how easy it is to make sub $5 orders on eBay for random shite that you can't do on Amazon.

I bet you won't find it cheaper (price+shipping+tax) than eBay though

Oh and it's not in stock.***

Oh and that little $99 yearly "cover charge"****



Enough asterisks for you yet?


If you're too obtuse to understand that you overpaid by a doctor of 5 for your Ebay free ship I cannot help you. Plus you refuse to acknowledged I get Free Prime music and TV. Plus I already told you I had a 115 lb grill shipped to me 2 days which easily covered the Prime Fee for a year. So everything I'm getting is now basically free ship indeed.

You do understand that shippers are building that "free Ebay " ship into your price don't you? Or maybe not. Maybe that's why you are so willing to overpay...

and yet... Everything is still cheaper than Amazon.



I'll let you draw your own conclusions on what you just said.


PS so Amazon is the only place that ships heavy items for free?

Link me your grill price at Amazon. I dare you.

Can you link the $2 cigar cutter on eBay? Trying to compare apples to apples of course.

You can buy the 5 from Amazon then sell 4 of them on EBay and make money. There is no way to spin this in your favor.
