Amazon overpriced

[Ironwave]

Is it me or Amazon always has it's item overpriced and I mean ridiculously overprice even shipping is overpriced. Ebay has the same items at a lower rate and cheaper shipping fee. Why does Amazon overprices it's stuff? I mean are they on crack if they think people are going to buy their stuff? Like I saw The Transformers: The Complete Series [25th Anniversary "Matrix Of Leadership" Edition] for 1000$ like really? Does anybody here thinks Amazon overprices it's stuff?

It's overpriced because that item is NOT sold by Amazon. It's sold by a seller that has his online store registered through Amazon. Items shipped and sold by Amazon are as cheap as any other big box store.

No I find Amazon has cheaper items a lot of the time!

Amazon.ca or Amazon.com?

I checked and neither is selling the set currently, just their 3rd party sellers who can list whatever price they want.

There's a difference between "sold by Amazon", "fulfilled by Amazon", "available from these sellers" (need to look at seller information to see who the seller is on the Amazon Marketplace).

"Sold by Amazon" means that Amazon is selling it directly

"Fulfilled by Amazon" usually means that a seller on Amazon marketplace "has it for sale" but the item will be shipped out of Amazon's warehouse (no clue how that arrangement works out)

^agreed.

Only overpriced items are the marketplace sellers there. Otherwise, I do find Amazon does have decent pricing on most things.
