FavsIf I'm not mistaken, that looks like an affiliate link. Though I could be completely wrong.
I have nothing against people who say Amazon is cheaper (thank you for finding a better deal!) but this kind of annoys me when people try to make some change off this website by affiliate linking.
If you're going to help people by finding a better deal, I don't think it's necessarily right to profit off it. Especially on a different competitor website.

WolfOFJaxI literally searched the description and that link came up. I don't even know what an affiliate link is so am not in any way profiting off sharing a link I assume anyone could Google. I do know that the university I work at has a branded amazon site (not sure if that's the right term) so maybe that is why you see that. Thanks for caring though.

WolfOFJaxYeah, I often times avoid affiliate links too. Maybe I shouldn't... but I do.
That's not an affiliate link though. Just a nice clean link.
Supposedly Amazon affiliate links include "?tag=AFFILIATE_ID" in the URL.
How can I identify Amazon affiliate link?
My peeve is shortened URLs. No easy way of knowing where it will take you until you click it. So... I usually don't. Depends on the source. :-)
Here's another, not an affiliate link but not so clean:

chuggerYeah I've learned that since posting the comment!
Thanks for the further clarification it helps a lot.
(Edit: The original link he had posted was much longer, that's likely where my confusion came from)
Cheers mate!
