I can think of only a few times I've ordered a product from a non-prime store due to a lower price.
The bad part is the item I was looking at was not prime eligible. When I was signed in, it was listed at $41.95 with 4.95 shipping, then non-prime it was listed $44.00 with free shipping. I get different vendors and all that, but different sellers popped to the top depending on whether I was signed in or not and from my prime account I either couldn't find the free shipping one or it wasn't listed. Certainly it wasn't easy to find.

I use the video service and the music sine too, guess this just makes me more wary on the pricing scheme now.
