![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/VVtHe.png) 8 cents of saving is so awesome, especially on a 500 dollars item. Damn you Amazon - seriously, 8 cents? All of my hard work, moving the mouse cursor accurately to the "click for details" link while keeping myself from going insane.... 8 cents off? There has to be a law about this.   | ||

Yeah I see this a lot too! I always like to buy stuff on sale so this always bothers me. It's also annoying when the sale price goes up after a week | ||

Lol. I was looking online for a GPS. The msrp was 150 dollars. It said 50% off. I'm like, OK, this seems to be a fantastic deal. They weren't charging msrp. THEY WERE CHARGING 400 BUCKS LOLWTF. Yeah, so it was actually more than the normal price. | ||

Also, amazon has great deals, but I find equivalent/better ones on eBay Edit: You also save in that you don't pay your state's respective sales tax | ||

For the record, I *do* have Amazon Prime. I got their one-year free Amazon Prime offer because I am a student. On July 20 2011 11:42 King K. Rool wrote: ahahahahaha 8 cents. That's fucking hilarious.

All the items I bought online so far charged me Washington state sales tax after I have entered my shipping information. | ||

For the record, Prime is actually $80 per YEAR. Less than $7/month. If you order things regularly (I do almost all of my non-grocery shopping online since I live in an urban area and traveling sometimes sucks), over the course of a year it saves quite a bit if you don't care to wait 3-5 days or whatever for FREE SUPER SAVER SHIPPING!!!!, and you don't want to have to order in $25 chunks. It's still a cost, but I think it's a fairly negligible one. | ||

And like I said, if you provide your university email they give you the membership for free for a year. | ||

I got my free year, and when it expired, they let me renew for $39. So I've gotten 2 years of it for $39, which is none too shabby, I'd say. | ||
