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...

Hmm, hadn't thought about student rate. My sons in college now. hmmmmmm

I think I saw something like that at a bachelor party once. The chicks ripped it out too fast, and I was sure they were going to fire up like a pull start.

And you're right. I'd pay quite a bit.

I looked into it, and I just got my own. Now that I get all I'm getting, while $40 is $40, I'm OK with being straight with them.

My College kid will get his Amazon account soon enough, but so far not...

LOL, I just took the desk chair mat out of the box they shipped it in, and I think it's going to take a while before the mat doesn't want to curl up!

Wow!

He's counting on having enough of your coin in his pocket to have one though. That's why my son doesn't have one yet I suppose.
