A few days ago, someone asked on a forum suggestions for spending a large Amazon gift coupon on books and games.
I started looking for rare, expensive and/or old books that I know about, and at the first result page I realized how futile it was, between unknown quality, unknown marketplace sellers, unreliable listings, the chance of scammers, and the ridiculously inaccurate mass of irrelevant search results that drown out relevant ones.
Other people actually recommended, in harsh terms, to buy electronics etc. on Amazon and get books and games from proper sources.
It is quite obvious to the mass public, not a special insight, that Amazon doesn't love to sell stuff: not only books and media, but anything except maybe Prime subscriptions.
- fma 4y agoI don't even buy electronics from Amazon much anymore. Walmart and Bestbuy will price match, good return policy and most importantly not fear of knockoffs due to how Amazon comingles. I use Amazon as a primary source for stuff that I know are generic, don't care about knockoffs and want variety. i.e iPad cases, simple furniture
