No, Amazon is the sears catalog of the internet. You can get better prices and better quality elsewhere.
Best thing an internet seller can do it open their own site.
I kinda agree, but I also think that Alibaba is sitting out there and capable of setting up shop in the US, and challenging Amazon. They could invent some kind of Amazon-Prime-like gimmick and just charge you $1 a year, and if they could deliver similar quality....they’d put Amazon out of business. (note: the same quality might be the question mark here).
I live in Europe, and find that in 75-percent of the cases....Amazon can beat local pricing. Toner cartridges are a good example. Last week, I ended up buying a Samsung 8 smartphone via Amazon. Typically, at the store, it would run near 550 Euro. Via normal Amazon, it would have been in the 480 Euro range. So I woke up early one morning...5 AM...logged on, and just accidentally looked up the pricing...two-hour unannounced sale in progress for the Samsung 8 (4 AM to 6 AM). They dropped the price to 301 Euro. But 99-percent of people aren’t going to log on at 5 AM to find deals like this.
