I was buying some rolling papers. They were $10 on Amazon. I decided to check eBay, they had the same exact pack but it was $15. Decided to go with the eBay purchase to avoid Amazon. 2 days later I get an Amazon delivery. It's my rolling papers, shipped straight from Amazon with a $5 dollar markup going straight to the eBay seller. So not only did bezos still get his cut but i paid an extra $5 for the privilege.

    That happens from time to time. Hell, I've even had that happen two weeks ago with Newegg for a rare cable I needed.

    Still though, on the whole, you can get in touch with some real brick and mortar style sellers, and often times it's cheaper. I saved like $20 on a pack of water filters for my fridge recently.
