Hornet did a very good summary.

Things aren't as rosy for Prime members as they might seem to non-members. We lost our guaranteed $3.50 pricing and back catalogue. Had Rendo kept the back catalogue pricing intact, I believe the anger would have been substantially less. Some vendors reverted SOME of their prices (which we are grateful), but not all of their prices.

For awhile, some sale prices were lower than Prime prices.

Now we have quite a few sales at 50% off, but when you consider that we used to get an influx of Prime Classics for $3.50 that would run for a full month (rather than just a day or 2) even that doesn't seem like much of a bargain.

I went to the "Other Guys" and yesterday they had EVERYTHINg going for at LEAST 50% off, some stuff was deeper discounted. Here at Rendo, some of the stuff I wanted was on sale (10-20%) so the coupon was no good.

Prime is not the value it once was.

PS I got hurt in the site hack too! My account got cleaned out!
