Oh, you mention that Amazon's prices are not low, and they are the same everywhere. I missed that part.

I don't buy on amazon very much, and I'm in Canada. But I don't see prices lower than Amazon frequently. Usually on other huge companies like best-buy or walmart. But they usually offer the same return policy and I'm pretty sure they face the same kind of scams.

But hey, that's my experience. You might have experienced something very different.

TBH nowadays in the USA I'm seeing significantly cheaper prices on ebay vs amazon for many things. Ex: an HDMI capture card was $13 on ebay vs $20-25 on amazon. Shipping is a bit slower, but something has to give.

Yeah it's going to be the same all around. Ease of returns at the others won't likely be.
