Where do you do your online shopping?
Funny enough, I just cancelled my free trial of Amazon Prime. Unlike Joe, even with the extra shopping spurred by free two-day shipping, I didn't spend nearly enough to justify the $80 yearly fee that would have been levied. In addition, the free "Super Saver Shipping" option frequently got my stuff delivered two days after order, even though Amazon would over estimate shipping time by a week. Right now, since I have a order I placed two days after my trial expired, I have Amazon estimating it won't arrive until between the 22nd and the 29th, however UPS is estimating the delivery to happen on the 21st. UPS is always right in these cases.
I joined Amazon Prime because it was offered as a free trial when I ordered Justice League Unlimited season 1 (and technically 2, too) when it came out in October, along with Teen Titans season 1.
Following that, I've been using Amazon.com to build up my trade paperback collection of Wonder Woman starting from the 80s relaunch. (I actually had picked up the first book in 2005 so I could have something for George Perez to sign at Baltimore Comic Con in 2005. He couldn't make it in 2005, but he was there in 2006, so he I got him to sign it then. And he and Marv Wolfman were nice enough to pose for a picture as well, which I wasn't expecting. Eventually, I should get it off of my digital camera and onto some more permanent medium.) Anyway, since I have the first paperbacks, I thought I may as well get the rest as they come out so I can follow the story to its apparent conclusion at spring 2006, after which it was relaunched again. I don't follow comics enough to know why, though.So, while I had Prime, I've ordered Beauty and the Beasts, Destiny Calling, Spirit of Truth, and JLA: League of One. Not counting Spirit as it is out of print and I bought it from a collector who had it signed by Paul Dini and Alex Ross (and thus sold it for $30 through Amazon), the other books from Amazon came to cost about $30, thus not justifying any membership for Prime.
