I avoid all those scams by using Amazon. They are my go-to source for

There are a number of reports circulating these days about Amazon no
longer being the lowest-cost provider they used to be, especially if you
log on via a Mac.


That may be, but they are reliable. My wife found a few item on Wayfair
and wanted to order them.. I checked on Amazon and found them for $30
less. Funny part is, it stated:Sold by Amazon, fulfilled by Wayfair"
Pays to shop around.


That's for sure. At a "surplus" store here, a friend saw a digital
camera for $50, probably reconditioned, but before he bought it, I
googled and I found the same recon camera for from 50 to 200 online,
while I found a new one for 100, something like that. Selling recon
for twice new!! Same model, same color, same "kit".
