Diamond List for August 1, 2007

[Darthphere]

I don't think I've ever ordered from Amazon. Is the Super Shipping thing something you have to sign up for, or is like everything under a certain amount is free shipping?

Usually, anything over $25 has free shipping, catch is, it takes longer to ship, a week to a week in a half really. While if you pay for shipping, at the lowest price, you get it in 3-5 days.

Anything over $25 ain't bad at all. I'd wait the extra few days.

Yup, for me, it usually even gets to my house in less than a week.

Have you ever bought actual comic book issues on Amazon?

 

[Darthphere]

Have you ever bought actual comic book issues on Amazon?

No, never had to. But I really wouldn't do it.

 

[PhotoJones]

No, never had to. But I really wouldn't do it.

I was just curious as to the kind of experience one would have doing that. I've ordered from Midtown Comics and Graham Crackers, and I was pleased with both of them. For some reason buying comics on Amazon doesn't seem like a good idea, though.

No it doesn't, chances are it's not direct from them anyway but from one of their vendors.

Vendors? You've lost me. I'm Amazon-******ed. I thought Amazon was a series of giant warehouses across the world, or something.

It's mostly with used books and items and such. You're actually buying from a third party and not Amazon directly.

Really? I had no idea. Does Amazon stand behind their items if one of these vendors isn't up to snuff, or are you SOL in the event that one does suck?

I wouldn't really know, since I don't buy anything that's not directly from them.

For example:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/158240500X/ref=dp_olp_1/105-7256125-2932433?ie=UTF8&qid=1185334814&sr=8-5

It looks like the vendors all compete for lower prices then what Amazon lists it as.

Yeah, **** a bunch of that.

This is like watching someone explain the use of VCRs to an 80 year old.

It's still blinking "12:00". How do I get it to stop blinking "12:00"?

I don't see why? I bet tons of people don't know this stuff.

CConn doesn't like me very much, I don't think. That's okay. I now know not to buy from Amazon unless it's actually from Amazon.

I'm being too helpful tonight.

Thanks for it, though.

 

[Darthphere]

Roll out!

Thanks for it, though.

No problem.

 

[PhotoJones]

Damn...now I wanna see the Transformers movie again.

 

[Darthphere]

Do it.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Well, don't just talk about it. Do it.

 

[PhotoJones]

It's too late tonight.
