Amazon's co-mingling causes so many issues. I'm really into board games and would love to be able to rely on my Prime subscription to pick up new games (and get them quickly.) The board game market is kind of perverse in its own way in that publishers often do not publish enough to meet demand and supply gets snapped up in the first couple days/weeks of release and prices skyrocket on account of scalping.
Because of this there's a huge glut of counterfeit games on Amazon. Even worse, sellers also pretty clearly are also selling damaged "new" product at full price. I've received $100+ board games that were clearly damaged before they were shipped. It's a huge PITA when you can't even exchange since the game you wanted has gone out of print between when you ordered and when you received.
I would love to shop local, but my personal collection exceeds the stock of most FLGS's in size and they very rarely stock things I want at prices that are reasonable. I've mostly switched to buying from coolstuff unless I'm buying a game that's evergreen (that I somehow don't already have.)
Amazon needs to sort their inventory out.
