QFT!!! But Amazon is setting a bad example for Google, etc.. I'd hate to see Google start to be as selfish as Amazon.
I really do not like Amazon, and almost never buy anything from there. Most other retail sources along with Ebay are usually cheaper, and a better experience for me. It's amazing how Amazon has gotten this far after being primarily a place of buying/selling books. Back then, I sold college textbooks on Amazon because they usually sold for around 1.5x as much as on Ebay. Now, most books on Amazon hardly sell for any more than on Ebay.
I just really hope there is something to seriously humble Amazon someday. We have Netflix, Hulu, HBO Online, etc.. no need for Amazon Prime while I buy about 2 things a year from Amazon on average. Right now, the used online marketplace is basically a duopoly - either Amazon or Ebay. Hopefully someday another company like Newegg or Tigerdirect will launch a serious competition against Amazon by allowing it to be extremely easy for us to sell computer hardware on their site with super low fees, etc.. What company would consider it beneficial to do so, potentially harming their own direct retail sales?
