I hadn't even thought about ebay in years until I ended up with a new apple monitor, despite the fact that I don't have an apple computer. I sold it on ebay and a week later my ebay and paypal accounts were both hacked and I ended up having to put in a $1200 fraud report to my bank explaining that I didn't buy computer parts from ebay New Zealand.
I think ebay killed itself.
Plus facebook marketplace and apps like letgo are the easiest way to buy/sell used stuff without dealing with shipping.

The Infiltrator is on Prime Video and I thought it was really good.

Everything worked out. They sent a second XL-5 instead of the VXL. First rep wouldn't do anything. Said to return them both. She kept trying to tell me I bought them from a third party seller when I bought them from Amazon. She transferred me to a supervisor. I asked if I could keep both the lower models and not deal with the returns. She agreed so I ended up with two Rustler XL-5s for $222 shipped.

Awesome! Have fun, I'd look into bigger batteries so you can run them for longer than 5-10 minutes.

I'm with you here. Against my better judgment I ordered something from Office Depot because I wanted it tomorrow and they price match Amazon. I placed the order and jumped on chat for the price match. The guy says that can't price match because it has another brand in the title. Of course the brand of the item is in the title. He said they would only match if it said Office Depot in the title. Anything else was a special order and didn't qualify. I'll wait an extra day and won't bother checking Office Depot next time.

Last week, I ordered some beer-making ingredient kits to be delivered to my office. Delivery was supposed to be by 8 p.m. on the 13th - we close at 5, but I wasn't worried because I always receive the deliveries during business hours. I left early and the on-line tracker said it was out for delivery, so I told one of the people still there to call me when the package arrived (I live about a mile away). Never got a call, so at about 6 p.m. I checked the tracker again and it had backed up to the "at the shipping center" (or whatever it is) message and there was now no delivery date/time.
Saturday, I get a message saying that delivery was attempted but, of course, no one was there to receive it. The tracker basically went kaput at this point.
Monday morning, I called Amazon and they told me the package was in return transit (back to Amazon, I suppose). He said he'd refund to my account and that I could just order new. I agreed. So I re-ordered for Wednesday delivery. Tuesday, I got an e mail that my refund had gone through. Wednesday, the re-order showed. Thursday, the original order arrived

Amazon had already killed most B&M retail for me, and now I'm also finding they are eliminating Lowes/HD for me too. Especially since I use Hitachi cordless tools, and they have a very limited cordless selection in-stores compared to Milwaukee/Dewalt/Makita. Better selection, cheaper, and simpler to just use Amazon.
The local True Value here struggles to compete with Lowes/HD, but they do have a better selection of nuts/bolts/fasteners (one of the shrinking number of home improvement store things I'd want to buy locally and not wait to be shipped).

Get a Citi card with price rewind & they will monitor the price of the item you purchased for 90 days. If there is a better deal somewhere you automatically get reimbursed the difference.

The door gasket on my dishwasher went bad last week. I typed the model number into Amazon and found it cheaper than the local appliance store. It came in a couple of days and I fixed it by watching a YouTube video.

I'm installing new exhaust fans in my bathrooms. Settled on a model and went to purchase. Amazon was much cheaper than Lowe's and Home Depot. Never thought I'd be buying items like this from Amazon.

You can tell by the tracking.
I've found the Amazon delivery people to not be as good the other guys

So, with the new book thing, you can no longer get one Kindle Unlimited book per month right? Not a big fan of this new Prime Book or whatever it is called. Had tons of books I was looking forward to trying off of the Kindle Unlimited thing. But when I look at these new book choices I have access too... meh.

Hell, I never even saw that. I can only ever recall one of the delivery services dropping off - I'm out in the sticks - so I'm assuming it's not Amazon.

My daughter does this, drives for Amazon sometimes. The tracking number starts like this if it is one of these folks: Carrier: AMZL US, Tracking #: TBA........ as opposed to having UPS, USPS, etc.

I feel the same way. I just bought my kid a car and the rocker panels are rusting out. Found everything I need to fix them on Amazon, cheaper than anywhere else.

I did the same with a blower motor for my furnace and the thermostat for my stove. YouTube and Amazon are moneysavers

Ordered a Windows 10 license, paid for it, received the number in an email and it worked. 
A couple days later, I received an email from the seller stating the following:

I have received the refund, but no request or instructions to send back the license. Should I just keep it?

I needed a new handle for the door of a clothes drier. Every appliance parts dealer I could find had it listed for $90+ (for a stinking 12" piece of plastic with 2 screw holes in it). Amazon was $61 with free shipping.

Same with my snowblower. Needed a new chute, and thought we were done for the season. But then the treat of a storm was building. So i went on Sears parts and they wanted $70+expedited shipping. Amazon had the same part for a few bucks cheaper and the free 2 day prime shipping. Sorry Sears.

Need some help with a laptop purchase for my son and his college. I know nothing about computers but I trust FFA brotherhood.
Not worried about getting a small one, it will primarily be for doing papers and research back in the room. Probably a budget of 600ish is a good starting point.
Any of you Amazoners have any recommendations?

They paid boatloads for that and it's still also broadcast on network TV. Smart.tonydead said:

I know this doesn't help but, I had an order this week that was supposed to be same day delivery, and it took two days. I emailed a complaint and they refunded me the cost of the order.Tiger Fan said:on hold with customer service, about to go ballistic b/c we ordered something we need for a costume party for tomorrow night and it was guaranteed to be delivered today.

The majority of people pay their cable company to watch the broadcast networks. Really smart.

Not all are on broadcast tv are they? I remember looking for some last season and they weren't on any network. The bengals fame was one I believe.

I have ordered hundreds of things on Amazon and with the exception of a book that I specifically ordered used, I have never received a used item. So strange that you're batting .500.

Yes, all found on network TV or NFL Network in addition to Amazon. Complete waste of $50 million big ones...Dr Oadi said:
Sources confirmed to ESPN that the deal to stream the games, which will be simulcast on the NFL Network and either CBS or NBC, is worth $50 million, up from the $10 million that Twitter paid for the streaming in the deal last season.
