sure..just take one..a CREE 60w lightbulb. couldn't be easier to find at amazon right? there's like one that matches that. $26 + shipping
First one that comes up for me just searching "CREE 60w lightbulb" is $13 with free prime shipping.
ETA: that's not the cheapest one either.

Now that the OP has been edited, don't act like you weren't trying to pass that frick up onto amazon.

I just wanted you to acknowledge that someone was at least trying to remedy your sheet problem.
and i simply said 'find me some good sheets at amazon' but he posted a link to a 'good sounding' sheet with absolutely no reviews.
how is that a good option again?

i did..it was the equivalent of picking up a trashcan at target. i just thought if it had 1,700 reviews it must be nice.

one was a oil rubbed bronze doorknobs that amazon/marketplace dealer wanted $5 SHIPPING for *each* set. x 21 sets = $105 shipping
i got the same brand new on ebay and a one time $5 shipping fee and the seller keyed all the outdoor locks the same since everything was on one order.
Not Amazon's fault.

Already covered in this thread, not Amazon's fault.

Were these prime eligible, or just some random seller on Amazon?

ETA care to refute any of these? the prices speak for themselves unless you want me to spoonfeed you the links as well.
Yea, you're a dumbass that doesn't understand where to place blame.

Yes, we're the jackasses.

I have one, while it's not $44, it's not $26 for 1 light bulb. This is just the first link that popped up, there were a few cheaper, but I didn't bother with them since this is the first link that popped up with cree 60w search...
$52 prime shipped for 6... Not nearly as outrageous...

goddamn. ok again
AMAZON
$20 + shipping costs
EBAY
$44 for 6 free shipping
eta and dont throw that prime 'red herring' into the discussion because that's a $99 add on fee most people dont have

This is why specifying is important and why just giving your generic item names does not work. Do you want a 5k light or will a 2.7k do just fine. I just posted a link for a 6 pack that was $52.

Less than $26? Yes. Less than $13? Yes.
You're just too dumb to use Amazon apparently.

ok i stand corrected. that is a much better price than the single bulb i was looking at.
ebay is still almost $10 cheaper but not nearly as outrageous as $20 + shipping for a single bulb when you can get the same thing at home depot for $10.
amazon doesnt always have the best price.
