Yes since Amazon dominates the search engines, one is often forced to use it as a catalog:. -- but, then you can search by part number or name/description to purchase that product elsewhere. I make an effort not to buy anything through Amazon
Exactly, I'm working on heading that way myself. Sometimes though I will find that an item is significantly more expensive on the manufacturers website than it is on Amazon. On those occasions I do make the purchase on Amazon.
Yeah it's funny how often buying direct from the manufacturer actually costs more. But often in these cases I have been able to find other outlets with the same price as Amazon, if I keep looking.
