I found the last 3 things I bought were much cheaper

Often a Amazon Marketplace seller also has an Ebay shop and the prices
can be very different.
I've found something else.
Amazopn is one price and a high price., but its convenient.
If I go direct to an online trader I can usually get 10-20% off.
compare amazon

and

Both free shipping.
I bought from SNH in the end
And I find the same for a whole lot of items. Amazon for ease and
simplicity when I don't care about price, but find the right online
trader if its a big ticket item. I had the same when following someone
here's recommendation I bought a belt sander
Ebay is good for some stuff that you simply cant find elsewhere though.
Obsolete or refurbed items.

It is not the truth of Marxism that explains the willingness of
intellectuals to believe it, but the power that it confers on
intellectuals, in their attempts to control the world. And since...it is
futile to reason someone out of a thing that he was not reasoned into,
we can conclude that Marxism owes its remarkable power to survive every
criticism to the fact that it is not a truth-directed but a
power-directed system of thought.
