    Does anyone buy anything off here? Some friends got all their diapers, sure they had to plan ahead, but they saved a ton. My brother bought some muck boots and saved quite a bit. I just got an extra stick, and some harness clips cheaper than the cost of the stick at BPS.

    I just bought a case for my phone that the Verizon store had for $35. I paid $1.65.

    I've purchased a number of things from Amazon over the years. I much prefer it over Ebay.

    Yeaaah, it's a great resource for anything and everything you could ever want. If you're willing to be stuff "Like New" and not brand new you can get it for dirt cheap

    I always check Amazon before I buy anything online. Just be careful to watch the S&H charges if Amazon outsources it. Some of those "other" suppliers will get you big if you don't watch out.

    Amazon is the benchmark for me. I'll look it up on there first to get the benchmark price then Google the item to see if anyone else has it cheaper on-line. The key with Amazon is buying things with the "Super Savings Free Shipping" which typically is if you buy more than $25 you can get free shipping. Some items you can't get it, so you have to watch. Most of the time because of the free shipping they are cheapest TYD place.

    Another thing about Amazon is their service has been great every time I've had a problem with an item (defective or whatever).

    I don't buy anything used on there.

    Yup, shipping was $13 for 3-5 days, and free for 5-8 days, I think I can wait seeing how it's only rain in the forecast.

    Amazon is definitely better than eBay. You don't have to worry about sleezy sellers who sell their items with misleading information. On eBay, "Brand New, Still in the Box!" can often mean "Used, Out of the Box."

    Just ordered a case for my phone and a aux. cable for my phone. It was $8, when just an aux cord at best buy cost me $23 a few months ago. I also saved $20 bucks on my MOJO Teal and it was shipped for free in 5 days. You cant hardly beat amazon in my opinion and the customer service is awesome from the experiences my mom has had with them.

    I like Amazon on a lot of things too. Usually I go there to read reviews and decide what I want to purchase. Then I check eBay & online and see which price is best. Amazon's free shipping service on a lot of items over $25, really helps to make them the lowest around.

    I've bought a TON from Amazon (even bought my table saw on there). Love it. Shipping is super quick, service is great. No complaints.

    I like the fact that almost every item I look up on Amazon has like 50 million reviews. I research EVERYTHING before I buy and Amazon is a great resource for this.
