This seems so backwards. Amazon lead on cheap prices. But this retail store only displays book/listed price. Which are higher. The only way to get the real price is to manually scan each one. Why? What am I missing?
- nbarAKL 11y agoI think that the assumption is that you'll always get the best possible price on the book, so consumers won't worry too much about pricing. We don't have Amazon as such a big influence in my country, so I'm curious - does the price of a book on Amazon impact your decision to buy it?
- dingaling 11y ago> Amazon lead on cheap prices. Perhaps for the mass-market titles but once you start pushing into the long-tail then RRP becomes much more common. Couple of random examples from Amazon UK this morning: You Save: £0.72 (2%) You Save: £0.55 (2%) I doubt many people will see savings like that as incentives. Rather, Amazon's advantage is that they actually offer such books for sale without the hassles of persuading a clerk to order a single copy for you, assuming their supplier carries it.
