it's been a while...

...and I have CRS, but one that still comes to mind is the spiral notebooks that I use for my journals. Amazon wanted $12 each (!), but I got exactly the same ones for $4 from Office Depot, or somewhere like that. I might add that I had previously purchased some from Amazon, so I expect they figured I was a sucker and would just hit the "I want more" button. That's how they REALLY rip you off! Is that any way to treat customers? I say "no".

As I say, Amazon has basically lost my business. They are now my last and final choice for a seller, only if I totally fail to find the product I want elsewhere. I am solidly opposed to their practices, and I don't do business with companies whose practices I won't tolerate. ...GG
