No, next to me is that monitor. I picked something within my view.So you 'randomly' pick an item that is on back order for cheaper at Newegg and submit that as a challenge? No. It is simple. I check Amazon when I want something. If it is cheaper elsewhere (at the time), that is where I get it. Not a difficult concept. I've had free money sitting in Amazon for over a year and I buy quite a bit on the internet. It's my personal experience, I don't expect it to ring true for everything.
Two. Generally every place is THE SAME OR MORE EXPENSIVE than Amazon....and I even have around $400 sitting in GC's there...

FTFY
And hovering at 33 .... years not over yet though.
I compare prices including shipping on a regular basis and very rarely find a better deal then Amazon from a reputable merchant especially with Prime shipping factored in.
And in the rare case that Amazon isn't the same or lower priced then wherever else, they will match prices with a single email.
Edit: The one exception to this is the fact that Amazon now charges sales tax ... upon occasion this will result in my buying elsewhere.
(1) You pay for Prime.
(2) I spend hours, sometimes days comparing prices.
(3) But I digress, do you people have any friends?
(4) They would think you are assholes and not stick around long.
I spend hours, sometimes days comparing prices. In some cases Amazon is lowest, in most it isn't.
(1) Yes I do and I use it for more then free 2-day shipping, however even if I don't take the other features into account its still a great deal and combined with the zero-worry customer service I get from Amazon makes it a no-brainer.
(2) I used to spend days comparing prices when I helped manage an e-commerce website but I have better things to do with my free time these days. (I was being paid to do it then lol)
(3) Posting from work in my free moments ... not sure where having friends comes into it?
(4) Must have missed the personal attack in my response. Sorry to upset you but given the amount of time you've been here I would have expected a bit thicker skin!
Take a deep breath & relax man ... its not that serious!
27--most are subscription orders.
Don't you value your time?

Crack pipe. Put it down.
He's not completely wrong.
I just bought an XBox 360 system for my grandkids. Amazon was between $50 and $100 more for the exact same system I bought...PLUS I had a gift card for BB I could use to reduce the out-of-pocket cost even more. Then, I needed some extra controllers...Got them from Dell for $15-$20 cheaper than they were at Amazon.
Amazon has lost its edge. A lot of B&M companies know folks use them as a "showroom," and are tired of losing the sales.
Amazon? BAH! They don't take PayPal, so... 0.
Family shared account has over 200 orders...

Amazon would have matched Dell or BB with an email to customer service. I know because they've done it for me at both places. Of course I understand its a PITA to email then wait for Amazon customer service to reply when you can just click at BB/Dell & be done. (Amazingly I believe BB will also match Amazon now).
I'll pick a random item without searching the internet. I have an ASUS VS239H-P in front of me. Find it cheaper than Amazon, from a decent retailer.
