The cycle from Amazon killing bookstores to Bezos axing the books section of the Post is something

I use amazon to research things that I want/need, and then pay a small amount more for them on eBay.

I usually find them for the same price with free shipping on eBay. Example. Oster will sell you their stuff directly for the same cost as Amazon will. Plus, better customer service and actual help and a working phone. This is true of many companies.
