When I started shopping at Amazon in 1999, I quickly came to believe

generally being lower. Here's a recent example:

Here's a GPS I'm thinking of getting from WalMart for $100

It's $115 at Amazon

Anybody else noticing this Amazon price-creep?


I'll shop around on line and check back and forth over a time period
because prices constantly change. Other big outfits like Best Buy will
match or be better and I'd buy Best Buy because if defective I could run
to their store here.

I prefer not to buy from Amazon vendors as if you have a problem return
is not as easy.

I have never had that problem with Amazon or Ebay. Usually they just
credit it back to you and tell you to throw away the defective
product. If there is a return, I get an RMA and a postage paid label.

OTOH I am not really happy with Best Buy. I bought an oven from them
and I never did get it. They canceled the order with no notice after
postponing delivery. It was supposed to be 8-10 days, then 8 weeks
then canceled.
