Recently, I was shopping for a hard drive at a big box store and tried to filter by capacity ...
(lemmy.world)
I'm not even sure how many chickens I can fit on my current hard drive, but it's probably more than the number of persons I can fit.
It's weird how Amazon kind of pushed every online store into becoming eBay (without the bidding... Do people still use eBay for auctions?)
The bidding is actually the main reason I never once used eBay but do use regular online store like Amazon.
Every electronic I own is basically from an eBay auction. It's a great place to buy from, their buyer protection is borderline too good... not such a great place to sell on. Although, what are you going to do, go to their other big competitors?..
So you use the actual auctions, and not just "buy it now"?
I remember back in the day when all they had were auctions, it was novel and cool. Then they added "buy it now" and the site slowly turned into Amazon.
95% of the time I do the auctions. Only do buyitnow if no other options, which isn't super common. I have got Ipads for 30-50 that still have a good battery even after using them for a couple years. A $50 laptop that does anything you would normally want a laptop to do. 8 kindles for $45 of which I sold 4 of them to my aunt for $45 to sell at a flea market and I kept and gave away the other four. 3 gallons of Legos for like $10... the list just keeps going.
