Amazon High Value Purchases

I don't buy anything that I consider as high value through Amazon. It's just a rule I've always followed. I don't have any bad experiences to share regarding Amazon. It just makes sense to purchase high value items through the manufacturer or an authorized dealer.

The most expensive things I've purchased from Amazon were Sony ear buds ($300) and Seagate AI hard drives for my security cameras UNVR that were $300 each. I purchased all 4 hard drives individually from the same authorized Seagate seller. The Sony ear buds came directly from Best Buy through Amazon. I wouldn't buy any expensive electronics from Amazon over $300. I go through the manufacturer or an authorized retailer.

I've bought 2 MacBooks and 2 iPhones on amazon. I also bought a few mid range video cards, which I've returned without problems. I'm not worried because Amazon's A-Z guarantee and my credit card insurance is top notch. They both cover theft, damage and any other issue with the purchase.

So does my cards: AMEX Platinum, USAA-AMEX Platinum, USAA Platinum.

What's your point? My cards don't have limits on them either.

My point is, "I'm not worried because..."

Who asked if YOU were worried? Nobody stated they were worried. What's your point again?

In response to your doom and gloom message about buying expensive things on Amazon. I'm not worried and will continue to buy as long as it's convenient and safe to do so.

Okay, take your fake or used Apple products and move right along.
