I found that most of their merchandise is lot buy outs, returns or irregulars. Very small percentage is actually “new”

I have dumped Amazon as well now source anything I need through original manufactures or private shops and eBay sellers.

The upshot to it all is: i now am given a forced pause to think about anything I buy. I find myself buying so much less crap that I honestly don’t need. The impulse is gone or at least tempered.
