Im not talking about cheap chink shit cell phone cases or usb cables. What I purchased was listed for almost $300 in Home Depot and other online retailers. Got em for little over 10% of normal retail price.

amazon is kinda retarded for shopping
checked there in hopes of finding some good prices for gtx1060 or rx480 and i dont even understand how to find something specific there except by chance

>go to computer components, type in rx 480
>get 1-2 rx 480, a bunch of r9 380 and even gxt 1070
>type in gxt 1060
>get almost the same results, with only 20% actually being the 1060, and the prices are far worse then the local newegg equivalent

>2016
>still using amazon
But yea dude they use a price algorithm thingy.

Be careful with returns as fuckers are starting to ban addresses now.

Their automated system must have goofed.

And now they are selling at barely two fifths of the original price and making a loss on each sale.
Fixed that for you.

If you try Amazon Seller Central everything has either zero or 3 plus variations where morons keep making new pages.

Amazon protection is so amazing that you can use it to scam sellers and amazon will still side with you.

in my experience amazon can and will send you things they deem "similar" to what you wanted and your only recourse is to beg them to take it back and refund at a 10% loss. they will never exchange and if you reorder you will just get the "similar" item again and they never EVER take it down when they run out of stock for something

In my experience, amazon can and will send you things they deem "similar" if A.) they're fulfilling for a third party that supplied knockoff stock or B.) if there's a clearly more popular listing and one is separate because it's a wrongly labeled product

I have. I bought lube once and it was 1/3rd the price if it was wish listed first then bought

>Mr. anon, we're sorry we had these circumstances that led you to close your account, but we respect your decision etc etc

>order from nigs off of ebay and end up paying around $25 more in total

Even though my account was unlocked, it is the principle here.
Instead of contacting me, saying hey we need you to confirm this, they just lock me out of the account I just put a few hundred dollars in without any explanation or alternative actions available to me?
What the fuck, I never will support or use them again, and I actually mean that. i haven't used amazon since then.

besides that, there is the whole matter of the treatment of their employees, and the 1984 book erasing they did on people's devices
