    I know how to buy stuff in real life. I’m in the middle of nowhere and there is very little here to buy in real life. If I really need the mouse skids I just ordered yesterday, Amazon it is!

    Sadly, I can spend hours searching for a company that sells mouse skids only to find they are available through Ali and requires a 4 to 6 week shipping and will cost $2 for 60 plus an extra $15US vs $5 per 60 with free shipping on Amazon in 5 days.

    I can hate Amazon all you want me to, but the reality of cost and shipping times sets in pretty quickly.

      I didnt know what a mouse skid was, but I searched it and found this right away, at the top https://www.newegg.com/p/173-00GN-00042

      I dont know if newegg is reputable or not, but this seems cheap, and has free shipping.

      In my life, Im okay spending $1-$5 more for a product if it avoids the monopolized markets.

        Newegg used to be a good deal

        I stopped using the years ago when they gave their sales data to state governments to extort sales tax years after the sale.
