Once upon a time Amazon was the first place I'd look for stuff.

It is now the last place.

I still look on Amazon, then go to the sellers website usually and get it cheaper.

Quit Prime and Amazon. I buy a lot of stuff from eBay or just not at all. The days of, "Fuck it, it's $12 are over for me."

Lots of times my eBay purchase comes in an Amazon box

Good riddance. Let them sink and get forgotten

I do avoid Amazon when it's feasible. Though once, I bought something directly from a company's website and Amazon fulfilled the order. Frustrating.
