Crucial - T500 1TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe M.2 Listed on here by a big name seller Best Buy $94
Free shipping is a plus, however a petty general shipping time -- Estimated between Fri, May 31 and Wed, Jun 5. Seems all in all a not a bad deal, until we do our diligence and find on Amaz-n.
The exact item sold by its namesake Crucial is $85 (Save $9) delivery between 10am - 3pm if i order it by 9am. Hmmm so save money and have it within a hour or so, ooorrrrr wait perhaps a week and cough up more money? No brainer right? Well I don't have a credit card, i just have PayPal. Amaz-n does not accept Paypal (seems like a not good decision) Regardless, us that schlep it here pay higher prices and have to wait longer for stuff. Must be all a part of the plan.

Keep in mind the seller has to pay 13.5% commission to Ebay of cost of item + shipping cost + tax. You could always wait to see if another seller posts cheaper, but is it really worth it? You might be waiting months. Also why not get somebody with a Amazon Account or Credit Card to buy it for you and you send them a friend's and family payment or even better cash?

Isn't there a Best Buy near you that you can buy it directly from? They do price match valid internet prices and you could pay for it using PayPal with in store pickup. Sometimes its nice to buy from a store so you can return it if there are any problems. It does not hurt to look into it and the shipping times might not be as bad as the estimate given. Waiting a few days does not seem like a long time especially if you can get them to price match. (if price is important)
-Good Luck
