    Results for others may vary but
    I have never seen anything on Amazon that wasn't available at a lower price on eBay.

    It would be interesting to know WHY they have to shut down, probably have to do with government 'regulation'.

    And as much as some of us, even younger gens like myself, try to do at-store shopping and other online-retailer purchases, Amazon is slowly but surely forcing itself upon without prejudice. Don't want home delivery? Too bad. The Amazon 155MM artillery piece will be hurling that 10-20 lbs of whatever you order right through your door and into and through you for your perceived insolence.

    Pretty soon, we won't have anyone left but Amish and Mennonite craftsmen to get some hand-made, on-the-spot, goods from. I mean, online ordering is good for those items you just can't find anywhere else in town. But when shipping mundane, everyday items like toilet paper and soap becomes an everyday thing, something's definitely wrong with people. Unless you're wheel-chair bound and/or can't walk or drive, then online ordering shouldn't be the everyday thing.

    Williams has been having problems for a while. Not to mention not much money in hauling shingles.

    Not always.

    I am both a seller and buyer on Ebay once in a blue moon. It's a excessive fees on one hand and dealing with the seller on the other is getting pretty byzantine.

    Paypal made some changes and did a number of actions without my participation. It has a absolute zero balance, no bank account attached to it and so on. They do whatever the hell they want.

    Things are getting interesting. And not always better.

    I think FMLA kicks in at 50 employees, and would not be surprised management realized the secretary was pregnant, and if they were going to let a stranger look at the way things were run, it’d be cheaper to shut down and start up later with no skeletons in the file cabinets.
