    Are you guys still buying stuff on Amazon? I HAAAAAAATE how chinese vendors with their cheap-ass bulk produced crap is flooding the market. It's only good for comics and blurays at this point.

    Look at this shit! They're asking for 200 € – and then they have the audacity to create this kind of bad-photoshop atrocity.

      Editing … Yeah, Amazon is basically Aliexpress now. For anything that isn't a Chinese knockoff, retail or Ebay is generally cheaper than Amazon. Honestly the most useful part of Amazon for me is the wishlist. I'll wishlist books on Amazon, then buy them for a lot less on Ebay. Even most Prime-exclusive sales are more expensive than Ebay.

      Editing … I tend to avoid any products listed on amazon that aren't sold by and shipped from Amazon. Unless it's something I really need that amazon doesnt sell directly. I bought a fleece blanket a while back, and the box had a pizza sauce stain on it. x_x (not the shipping box, but the box inside with the actual blanket.) Stay safe my friends.

      Editing … I mostly buy specialty food items on Amazon. Like vital wheat gluten became impossible to find in my area so my options are limited, and it's cheaper online then it ever was in stores. Drop shipping has become a huge issue, and I can't stand all the smarmy little punks on social media who thing they're innovative entrepreneurs for jumping on this bandwagon. It hasn't effected me much personally. Maybe I'm just overly cautious but looking back on my orders from the last five years I can only find a couple items that I regret buying.

      Editing … There is a running issue with ebay that all the items there are actually from amazon. I don't care personally, but I often receive ebay items in amazon boxes and many users leave bad feedback complaining about it, often bc they don't want to support amazon, or just find it dishonest.
