I've bought many things over the years from Amazon, but mostly books.

Last one I got was a book on "Building a Roll-off Roof Observatory". I tried local bookstores, that were quoting me $140, and a 4-6 week wait.

I logged on, got it for $40USD, paid around $20 for express air shipping, and it was here in 4 days. (Total Cost about AUD$70)

The only thing to note, is they build a profile of your likes/dislikes and email you sometimes. I still get DVD suggestions (rarely) from a DVD I bought back in 1999. They are good with their privacy, but it is scary at another level. Don't let it put you off though. It's well worth it.
