For brand name stuff I use price comparison sites to find online stores.
The cheap Chinese stuff (which is the majority of Amazon these days) is almost always cheaper on ebay. It's like the article says: on Amazon they take the cheap generic Chinese products, slap some made-up brand name on them and sell them at a 50-100% markup.
Around here it's pretty easy to avoid them.
