This.

Boggles my mind how many people bitch and moan about Bezos and capitalism, but would also drop dead if they couldn't get a phone case 2-day shipped to their house.

I know how to find deals at brick and mortar stores. So Amazon only gets my money when it's something at a decent price from their Warehouse Deals portion of the site, like when I got a 160 GB PS3 slim for $80 a few years ago in mint condition or when their trade-in program was actually decent and gave me tons of credit for stuff I paid pennies for (literally, pennied game guides from Best Buy and Gamestop).

The only other time I didn't mind dealing with them was when I sold on there as a third party seller for a while. Stuff that I paid $15 for (Black Ops Prestige Editions, World Of Warcraft CE's) sold for $200+ apiece because of how buyers on there just buy buy buy regardless of if these items have been clearanced somewhere (where I got them) for way cheaper.

Problem there is after going inactive for about six months they purged my seller account due to inactivity, thus negating my grandfathered account that allowed me to disburse the money I was paid after their fees at any time. Now if I reapplied for a new selling account I'd be on a minimum two week schedule like a regular job, which is a crock considering Amazon doesn't wait to take their fees out of your money.
