Ehh, I’ve found a good number of items for better prices off of Amazon. Mostly parts like carbon fiber tubes (a local manufacturer had some awesome prices), electric motors, weird niche parts… it really depends. Though Amazon IS NOT the best place to look for many items when you actually know what you want.
Even then, once you find something you’re willing to throw in your cart, it’s always worth it to do a couple general web searches (not shopping searches) for the same/similar items to check prices. Even if Amazon is the best normal price, sales and discounts crop up pretty often.
Amazon is thoroughly in their enshittification phase. It shouldn’t be surprising that others can offer similar/better prices.
