I buy lots and lots from Amazon and am a Prime member. If I want something online, Amazon will likely be my first choice, particularly if the item qualifies for Prime shipping.

One thing that is becoming annoying to me is the preponderance of websites for brick and mortar stores that do not reflect what the store carries. Lots of retailers have websites that are so populated with 3rd party sellers that almost everything on their website says "web only". So, if I logon to Macy's, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot or wherever and it says "web only", I simply order from Amazon. If I can't get it from the store and have to order online, I'll order from the people who are the best at online orders.

I’ve been a Prime member for 7 years.
I’m beginning to notice Amazon often is nowhere near the cheapest price available.
I think their algorithms are set up to see if they can shoot you a highball price occasionally.

Example: iPhone case
bought one 30 months ago for $14
need a new one basically the same brand/model for new phone
Amazon - $30
eBay merchant - $15
