When Looking for Products Search the Web not Amazon

I frequently see Amazon charging more for a product that other vendors.  This example was particularly egregious because Amazon was charging more that EVERY other vendor I checked. I was able to check multiple prices in my search engine query.  I visited Amazon just to make sure and to get the screen shot.  I brought the telescope from Target because they offered free shipping, and honestly, because they were not Amazon.  The product was not available locally.

 

Other than the fact that Amazon could get away with inflating the price, there was no discernible reason for Amazon charge more for this telescope.

 

Many people use Amazon as the first place to look for a product.  Probably because they have already wasted money on a prime membership but I have to believe it is also done out of laziness as well. 

 

Save yourself some money and shop around.
