Amazon’s quest for more, cheaper products has resulted in a flea market of fakes

Thanks, I like the convenience of amazon but will be cancelling my membership this weekend and just use walmart or something else.

It is $120 a year and I'm tired of it. I have seen cases where my pricing was higher than non-prime members for the same item/seller, going to same address.

That's the crux, right? There used to be a benefit from choosing Amazon over Walmart and other bigbox chains.

It's like Amazon has spent their savings from having relatively no infrastructure expenses (stores, parking lots) on an inventory of pure crap, like Nieman-Marcus selling their stores and moving completely online, only to start selling cheap underwear and Ed Hardy tees.
