  Depends if it’s sold by Amazon who stuffed 90000 units in their own warehouse or if it’s just sold through amazon by the same vendor. I’ve seen all three prices on the same item all still on amazon.

    Oh yeah you definitely can find price variations but I can’t recall ever finding a better price not on Amazon except maybe getting electronic components off eBay. Those were always a gamble if they’d ever arrive or not though.

      I got a way better deal on a weird but awesome pillow by not buying it on Amazon and had the same experience overall. They had a real sale vs a flat percent on the Amazon store.

      Ehh, I’ve found a good number of items for better prices off of Amazon. Mostly parts like carbon fiber tubes (a local manufacturer had some awesome prices), electric motors, weird niche parts… it really depends. Though Amazon IS NOT the best place to look for many items when you actually know what you want.
