    Does free shipping get you to spend more?

    I'm curious what most people think of this. Does Amazon's (or whatever other site you frequently shop) $25 free shipping tier get you to find ~$10 worth of extra stuff verses paying part of that as a shipping expense? I have a friend who often times will neglect shipping prices in the...

    eBay issues - Seller used cheaper shipping method than what I paid for.

    Someone help me clear up whether I have a NEC 1100A or 1300A

    I got a used dvd burner a while back off ebay and it was listed as an NEC 1100A burner. As most of you know that's the version the burns +r/rw only. Now, when I received it I thought it was kind of odd that the label on the drive itself said it was an NEC 1300A. I installed the drive and in...
