Because the cheeseheads at Amazon.ca decided they are going to put a 50% markup on it for us? Not 15%, not 20%, not even 30% but FIFTY percent more money?

I don't care if it's Amazon or Bamazon that's selling it, I'm still always going to point out blatant gouging when I see it.


Sure but price is a big thing on RFD in general, so why do people always try to silence people pointing out when there is gouging going on? Just because they get in this mob/heard mentality and anyone that threatens to say we shouldn't all just BUY BUY BUY! blindly, should be ousted? Yeah that sounds real good.

But it's the way things go here so yeah. On a different thread where no one is buying and people all point out something is not a deal, and downvotes rain, the exact same comments about bad price, gouging, etc. are perfectly fair game. But when it's the mob of people that can't help themselves from paying too much....watch out! They will try to get you banned for saying anything even remotely "against" the mob



But doesn't the toolbox or whatever disable the ads anyhow? Anyway I'm still on the fence on whether to keep the 64GB one I have or throw it back to Amazon. I recently bought a convertible laptop and Windows 11 will run most Android apps too so is there really a point to a tablet? What sucks is the return period ends on Oct. 30th, way before border opening and BF...

Tablet is 80 usd, and 150 cad here and you're mad about it and want to let us know they're gouging us?

So we should all make a 4 hour roundtrip to buy this tablet from the US or complain to Amazon or not buy the product? Because "Scamazon".

When do Fire tablets typically go on sale for the lowest price?

The US tablet is subsidized with adds (which you can pay $15 USD to remove where the Canadian tablets do not have this same advertising). So that's $115 vs. $150. Let's add USD to CAD conversion. At today's rate, that's now $142.31 CAD. And if you want to consider some of Amazon's shipping costs to get it to Canada... Doesn't seem like much of a cost difference to get so worked up over...

I think I've even pointed this out myself in the past in older threads. Like hell even during Prime Day in the US this year they still sold it for $79.99 lol.

So even factoring in paying $15 to remove ads, at $94.99 you're still miles ahead even after conversion, especially if you get it shipped to or acquire it in a state with little or no sales tax.
