It’s been ages since I’ve really done some deal hunting online with how ubiquitious Amazon is I’ve realized I’m not up to date with the current ecosystem for finding trustworthy online storefronts. Do you have any sources/tips for finding good quality products (especially with all the AI slop that exists nowadays)?

      From what I heard it is the same price because amazon doesn’t allow them to sell cheaper anywhere else.

      It especially kills me when the vendor DOES have their own website, and it looks like they have their own store. You go to buy it and it redirects you to their Amazon page.

        I’m guessing that some manufacturers just don’t want to bother with the setup of their own PoS system, or they find Amazon lands them so many more sales that the alternative upkeep isn’t really worth it.
