Economics forum

(NOTE: I dunno where to put this; so I chose Economics; if wrong, let me know.)
With a ton of Chrome Extensions centered on internet shopping; honey in particular, online, I've some questions of inquiry I hope can help with the following:
1: Besides Amazon, Newegg, TigerDirect, Walmart; all those big names I'd use for something else; & most likely will (My Laptop is just trash), what Internet Site w/ MTG Cards/Accessories has the best use of my extensions (Note: I'll mention a list of Extensions I currently use. Suggestions for what to keep/remove are welcome; given Chrome can support them.)
2 FINAL: For decklists, I won't count my cEDH Boros, ADAM RUINS EVERYTHING Vorthos, or even my new age WIP Creatureless Superfriends decks, but the rest; or at least most of it will be searched upon; & even Theros: BEYOND DEATH stuff for new cards to replace w/. Since this set is extremely Part-Enchantment Perm Heavy, my Tuvasa, who opposes The Immortal Sun 's Enchantress-Deck from while back might get first dibs for THB-Updates; as if Nyx Lotus isn't awesome enough... XP
Finally, as promised; My Glossary of Chrome Extensions for such a Mission XP:
- honey (Basically the Sol Ring of this whole idea.)
- EBATES/Rakuten (Cash back, & rewards.)
- The Camelizer (Watches for what's in stock, alerts for restocking, etc.
- Amazon Assistant (Non-MTG Related.)
- Pricescout Price Comparison (Searching elsewhere for a more affordable cost is very good.)
- Fakespot (Ensures I not only not get fake items, but ensure the reviews are truly Legitimate.)
- The CouponCabin Sidekick (Forgetful of what to do to save? This is important.)
- Offers (Holy... How many?)
- Cently (Want coupons? Want them even at checkout? Keep.)
- InvisibleHand (More reduced prices & coupon madness.)
- Shopper (Instant coupons just for shopping on that site? swish...)
- Guru (More Coupons.)
- Shopbrain (Comparison.)
Before I start, maybe you any opinions upon all this?
BTW, the art for those rings was meant to be from MagicFest 2019. Just so you know. :/
I have a hard time believing there are any websites out there that support any of these plugins. Most sellers aren’t going to allow people to use coupons to knock the price off of singles. I know even mom & pop shops aren’t allowed to discount MTG items.
Your best bet if you’re trying to buy stuff would be to buy used or trade with someone.

Acknowledged. At least my ideas of non-MTG stuff would be viable still. That said, I think it's about time I do this part the old fashioned way: Being a Pauper++; which means budget is better that a Budget Build Wallet anyway. Sort of makes me wonder what decks will be used Post Core Set 2021...
BTW Ice_Water, I gave you a thumbs up for a truth I was misguided from; but I'm not trading or what not anytime soon. :(

BMHKain I wish you the best of luck, I hope that comment didn’t come off as abrasive.

After my previous posts, I realised that there are a lot of negative sentiment regarding LGS and I believe that a local game store is also a necessary part for MTGFinance as a whole. Thus, I implore everyone to give your input on what you would like to see from a store.
To keep things interesting, avoid price related suggestions and staff related suggestions. Profit margins are crazy thin as is so to stay afloat many stores simply can't afford to lower prices. Sucky staff is also way too isolated to individual stores to make a substantial point of improvement as a whole. As Maro says, restriction breeds creativity. So, go ahead and voice your opinion.
FYI: I am not an LGS owner nor am I affiliated with one (at the current time of writing). I just hope this would prove to be a healthy exercise to improve existing LGS or help out people who want to set up their own in the future. Remember, this is a community of hobbyists, building each other up is the way to build a good business, helping others will not lead to building a competitor (unless your business fails somewhere already).

(Why am I not permitted to say "bump"...?)
After at least a day, not much has changed at all; I'm still searching for MTG-Related Internet Sites while I trim down my Lazav, the Multifarious Swiss Army Knife Deck. That said, maybe you Chrome-Goers have better suggestions for Extensions? I'm still proceeding to search for such a site in mind. Doesn't look like TCGPlayer has such a luxury either. Likewise for TrollAndToad. I still need your help on this. Any options on this? I'd really am at a loss on this; especially when making a PS5/XBOX Series X Level Custom Gaming PC in the meanwhile...
