Succeeding at buying from Amazon is easy:
- Make sure that the local brick-and-mortar doesn’t have the thing you want first.
- Avoid products that have SEO titles (“fish bowl for fish container fish aquarium for fish”), or nonsensical manufacturer names (FDRTNHY).
- Weep quietly because it’s page 50 and there still aren’t any listings that don’t violate #2.
