Title: Use Amazon to support this site
Post by: john on March 22, 2017, 01:47:31 PM
Wanted to thank everybody that uses the Amazon link(s) to support the cost of the site. 

Using the shopping links costs nothing extra for you, and I get a VERY small percentage of what you buy.  But trust me, over a year it adds up and pays a fair chunk of the hosting cost (this site is hosted on a VPS).

USA amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/?tag=gstwincom0f-20

Thanks again for the help!  (this is not, repeat NOT a thinly veiled request for donations -I don't want that.   The Amazon link(s) are free to you and does help without any impact on your wallet)

I don't buy much on amazon but when I do I'll remember the link!!!

Is there one for eBay?? THEN we'd be talkin' (in regards to me, that is ;) )

Nothing for ebay, just amazon.  If just a handful of people use the link to shop it will be a big help.

I order from amazon once a month or so...I'll try to keep this in mind for future purchases.

Darn that's a bummer!! It seems like any time I've ever looked/shopped/searched on amazon, I didn't find exactly what I was hunting for or I found it for less on ebay.

I do shop there around the holidays though because a couplea my friends have wishlists. I'm gonna check on amazon right now for a few things I've got on my ebay watch list... see if I have any luck.

Ha ha!  I am a heavy Amazon user.  They almost always seem to have what I want.  I am in a PrimeNow location so I can have stuff delivered within 2 hours.  But if you use PrimeNow check the prices vs free Prime same day -some Now prices are higher, but if you want it fast...

I have had bad luck with ebay.  Not from businesses selling there, but private sales.

Unfortunately, I *love* Amazon....moving supplies, books, birthday presents....they have everything I need and I rarely need to leave the house... terrible! ;-)

Can we also get a link for Amazon Canada? We have a different Amazon web site (Amazon.ca).

i wonder barry if you used "our" amazon link, would they ship to canada?
another thing to know, amazon is about the only commercial link here. we dont have ANY spammage of links at all. that hardly ever exists. especially for over a decade. for me going over 14 years.

I don't think it works for Amazon in Canada, but it's all good.  There is no spam or anything.  In fact there is NO way to know who even makes a purchase.  So far the Amazon link has raised $6 this month.  It all helps!

This really needs to be stickied or pinned to the top or something so people can always see it/remember it!

Just used the link again and bought my paint :D

Bookmarked the link. I buy things from Amazon pretty often so I'll remember to use the link in the future!

Amazon is not used much in Australia and US sellers don't ship to Australia.

Have you guys ever thought about MERCHANDISE.
Kids these days love merch. I'd buy a sick hoodie with the twin on the back  :thumb:
