I want specific things. Amazon keeps me from trailing all over town
looking for the thing that I want. Common items are available at most
every store and for them I wouldn't bother with Amazon.
I also use the credit card at Amazon and get some bucks off of stuff
every once in a while. It isn't a big deal to me, it's just another
store I use for shopping. And, come gift giving time I can shop and
then send for far less than it would cost me to package, wrap and
send.
