House water filters. One OEM for $37.50 from Amazon. Cheap knockoffs with incorrect filter specs pushed hard with multiple searches over days. A four pack from Home Depot with a replacement O-ring...$50.00. Free shipping. You tell me.

I've gotten dirt cheap, perfectly functional water filters from Amazon.

Shopping on Amazon is like searching on Google, if you know what you are doing it is the most powerful tool in the world. If you haven't a clue what you are doing then you are wasting your time.

Your anecdotal evidence counts and mine doesn't. Got it.

Don't pick on one example! Usually most of the products Amazon gives every store run for their money.

Amazon doesn’t sell items unless it’s their brand. Otherwise, they are just a shipping company. You bought from someone else and Amazon shipped it to you
