I don't see how one invalidates the other. Amazon's predatory practices have killed off the competition and created a sizable price gap. Not everyone has the luxury of voting with their money.

I haven't noticed their prices being lower in most cases. Check eBay. It's usually about 10% cheaper.

They haven't killed competition. There are hundreds of other online places to buy stuff for most items, too.
