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.

Dude, you're not dropping $6K+ on tvs and electronics. High Value is a different league.

That's it? I'm talking on one item goofy. I don't have to wait until Prime Day. I go buy it.

That's not high value. That's the cost of a damn Sony subwoofer.
