Re: Prime Day is Bogus

I go a bit further, I copy the product name on amazon, go to ebay and buy it (somewhat) cheaper. Essentially, amazon and ebay are the only two "shops" left online. Sure, you can go to ebuyer and dabs (oops, sorry!) and a few other usual suspects, but I have noticed, over the last couple of years, they hardly ever offer anything I need for lower prices than ebay (whey they sell too). So, the long-term plan by amazon and google is already beginning to pay off - squeeze out ALL competition and all the profit comes your way. Not a monopoly, mind you! Not even a duopoly. After all, ANYBODY can set up an online shop and compete with amazon and ebay, that's called capitalism! :)
