Posts: 3023 Thu, Mar 31, 2011 3:28 PM Administrator Tampa SW Club President Tampa	Tags : None Just curious...who purchases through Amazon.com here? I find myself buying more and more items through them lately. I'll typically order almost all of my books, music, movies and even Christmas presents through them. To be honest, I hardly ever actually go to the store anymore (WalMart, Best Buy, Target, etc.). I have an Amazon Prime account which costs $79.00 a year which is $6.58 a month. With this account, I get free 2-day shipping on items sold direct from Amazon or $3.99 per item for overnight shipping. There's no tax involved and they generally pack items very well. I've got the new Star Wars Visions: Comics* book and the Blu-Ray Star Wars Saga on pre-order right now. With the upgraded shipping, I'll have them just about the same time as anyone would buying them in the store. Really, there's nothing you can't find on this site. With most of my purchases being Star Wars related, I think it's safe to say that other than exclusives from other sites (StarWarsShop.com), if I'm ordering something online, it's through them.

I'm not in a hurry for my items so I don't use Amazon Prime, I just make sure my orders are $25 or more for the free SuperSaver shipping. However, one big perk of Amazon Prime that they just added is free streaming video, similar to Netflix's on demand service included in the price. I've got a Blu-Ray player that's currently not connected to the internet is linked to my Amazon account, so if I when I hook that up, that's something I might buy into. My Dad got me into Amazon more than a decade ago and I love that I can typically get the lowest prices and still have great service, selection, and features. One of the features I really like is the Wish Lists. I wish everyone had a Wish List. I get after my dad to keep his up to date so I know what he might like for holidays. They've got an interesting Universal Wish List app so you can add non-Amazon products there. I've used it and it works well, but I don't like extra toolbars and things crowding my screen. I've also had very good luck buying used items through Amazon in the last couple of years. When I find something like that I usually check Half.com and compare the used prices and conditions and pick one of the two places to buy my item. Amazon is certainly my most common place to buy online but I also regularly buy from eBay, Rebelscum sellers, Star Wars Shop, and TeeFury. We have an Amazon Associates account here at the SWGFA so if you follow the link in my signature or to particular products, the GFA gets a small advertising fee that we can use to keep the board running and to bring about the big and small gatherings. A couple of particularly good deals I just noticed yesterday are the Clone Wars Blu-Ray collections, season 1 and season 2. And if anyone hasn't pre-ordered the upcoming BD release of The Star Wars Saga, all three* versions of that seem to have the best price at Amazon. * The Complete Saga, Episodes I-VI plus three discs of bonus material * The Original Trilogy, Episodes IV-VI * The Prequel Trilogy, Episodes I-III -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

I don't ever order anything on there without searching for it via our link.

Thanks for the heads up on that! I had held off on buying that for a reason I wasn't aware of until I saw your post. Used our affiliate link too.

Posts: 3367 Fri, Jun 17, 2011 3:32 AM Administrator Orlando System President Orlando	Woohoo! Yeah, it's a really cleverly designed book (as I know you know). Susan and Ric (GFA table volunteers, OS members) won an advance copy of it at CV from Scholastic. I seem to recall hearing Chris Trevas saying that another one is in the works that would show the layers of Darth Vader's armor. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

Of course, I ordered this on a Thursday night very late, so I won't actually get it until Monday.

I know Amazon has a library that wants to be like Netflix's and it's included in Prime subscriptions. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

It's a cool feature, but the titles that are free compared to those that you have to pay for is quite drastic. The free movies are mostly older films and from what I can, nothing brand new.

The essential one is the Comprehensive Guide. Fantastic book. Scratch that. They're gone already. It's probably worth checking back though, because yesterday they were both on sale. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

Their company, Completist Publications, is the seller so it's shown as "fulfillment by Amazon." It's still available, and worth your US Grant. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

Buying text & reference books, ems supplies, and catching up on collectibles. Will have to read up on the prime account. http://www.OrlandoMobileTinting.com

The way that I make 100% sure the affiliate link works is probably a bit overboard, but it gets the job done. I have this url saved. I also have the Amazon product page up. I then copy the product item number which is the 10-digit number in the url for each item, and paste it into the affiliate bar on a separate page. I click "go", it brings up the item, I select it, add it to my cart and repeat this process for everything I'm going to order at that time.

When we're together I'll show anyone that's interested how this money is recorded and paid to us. I hope your diligence is not absolutely necessary, Chris, but I know my father once bought me a large order of books that we didn't get credit for. That was annoying. Whenit wrks, though, it really works. There is no extra cost to the buyer and the Alliance gets a donation of 4-6% of the purchase price. That's a heck of a good thing for us. A big thanks to anyone that uses the links to help keep our club going! -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.
