The quality of good is the big thing for me, and you can't discriminate through the reviews. They are all astroturfed.

Basically, if I can buy from anywhere else, then I will, but finding goods out there is harder now that web search is shit.

actually READ the reviews you can usually tell which ones are legit. and read the lowest ones first.
