To Amazon Prime or NOT to Amazon Prime
Sorry if Q, but I'm on the fence about doing the whole Amazon Prime thing. Seems like getting rid of Netflix all but pays for it, but wanted to ask the opinions of others in this Mecca of awesome knowledge called Chiefs Planet..

Is Amazon Prime really worth it over eBay when you buy, let's say, 5-7 items a month? I ask because I always do the "price+shipping" deal, so it seem like it's a wash at some level. That being said, "Prime" would ALWAYS mean two-day shipping, and that's something I hardly ever do on eBay, so it could be a deal that makes it worth it enough to buy 15-20 things a month. The whole "eliminating some of the instant gratification culture/concern" deal...


Oh, and I've heard that if you use an "edu" account it's free for six months (perhaps not a big deal over a lifetime!!), but is then like half the cost. Does anybody know if that's true? If so, and it' the son who has the "edu" account, how does "Dad" pull off that scam without having the kid able to buy pretty-much anything he's ever wanted?

Thanks in advance... Just looking for some opinions before I leap...

You're doing it wrong... Garage sales?

Seriously, I saved $.40 (and taxes) on turn signals. !nd they shipped them to me in 2 days!

I'm not seeing 60% savings, but I am seeing 10-15%. And taxes on top of that. And the additional TIF bullshit the local WWE-like shopping center will tack-on on top of taxes.

Nope. I don't buy shit just to buy it. The stuff I generally shop for is not gaining me any savings on amazon.

I was looking at landscape lighting at Lowe's and while I like some flood lights they had, Amazon had some in-ground lights that weren't even available at Lowe's, Ace or Home Depot.

Many times it's also about saving time going to a **** ton of stores and hoping you find it on sale or reasonably priced. My wife and I both work full-time and I'm not wasting half a Saturday going shopping, hoping I can find it and it's reasonable, while I can find it on Amazon and have it shipped to me in two days. Shit, I'll pay a few dollars extra just for the convenience of getting my weekends free to do something other that shopping.

Shit I have purchased new top of the line car parts for my 65 Chevy II on Amazon.

A ton of companies sell through their sight. I was astounded when I started entering part numbers.

Yeah, I just wouldn't buy enough to justify the $100 per year fee. Teh streaming crap sucks because even the SD content uses way too much bandwidth.

I've already gotten every Christmas gift but one. The last gift is a replacement item for an out of circulation tableware set, and it was not available either locally or through Amazon. I did all the shopping in one trip out, and it was less money than what Amazon would have cost, even with gas factored in.

You didn't factor in the cost of your time.

Mine's worth a **** ton!

Buy a bunch of sugar free gummy bears and give them away to people and find out how fast people can run while clenching their ass cheeks shut.
