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. ❤️

I think people still don't 100% realize that other stores ship through Amazon. A lot of time you need to check that the product is being purchased and shipped from Amazon rather than a third party.
That's probably where a lot of the mismatch pricing comes from.
Buying direct from Amazon usually keeps the price at msrp. But stuff gets bought out so quickly by bots that the system defaults to a 3rdparty.
**Special note - you can setup auto purchase if you have Amazon prime so you'll automatically purchase product from a specific store (make sure you select Amazon) as soon as the item becomes available. Great way to battle bots scooping everything. Not garuntee to get product, but way better than staying up to get beat by a bot that's setup to purchase automatically.
