As an aside, it annoys me to know end that I can't sort search results in Amazon across different departments/areas by price. You have to choose a category like "Electronics" before you can do that. I wish Google made it easier to do more flexible searching+sorting on Amazon. Lately I've been trying to get more into embedded electronics. I was surprised how much cheaper it is to find things on ebay and aliexpress. The shipping is often much slower than on Amazon but I can get resistors, solder flux, esp32's, shift registers, etc -- waaaaay cheaper. Though it may be because aliexpress hosts a lot of sellers directly from China where the items are manufactured? I used to think of ebay as auction-only, but I generally research things on Amazon for product details and then go to ebay to find it hundreds of dollars cheaper. Did this yesterday with a laptop. Amazon is less risky than aliexpress or ebay, but I save more than I lose. (I swear this is not an advert)
