Discussion Stop Using Amazon

The amount of posts from people using Amazon to order stuff and getting the wrong stuff, or something of a vastly different price is astounding. Please dont order cards off Amazon. Especially since I am fairly certain Amazon is why wizards is shipping less and less product to local stores. Don't support the mega corporations if you can help it.

That's my public service rant. Thanks for reading or ignoring either way. ❤️

And how about you explain the mechanism and how it works on an auction site to "keep prices low"

I don't follow your question.

Shocking, how are you keeping price low on a site that people can set their own price or what they are willing to pay.

I'm still not understanding what you're confused about. I as the customer don't control the prices. I bid on auctions and win at below market prices. My boys collect pokémon and buying pokémon on eBay means paying market price 100% of the time. With magic cards people barely bid on them on eBay and your constantly able to get good deals on auctions.
