Indeed. I was recently in the market for a small mono/tripod to bring with me on vacation.
Looking at the "Best Sellers" for this category, it's blatantly obvious that Amazon is just taking the existing top 3 models, copying them almost 1:1, and then undercutting the original product price with their "Amazon Basics" branded product.
How are you supposed to survive selling a product when even Amazon is out there copying it and selling it for less?
- SmellyGeekBoy 10y agoAre you sure they're not just buying them in from the manufacturers and rebranding?
- kogepathic 10y agoThey might be, but what would the manufacturer's incentive be to compete with "Amazon Basics" ? Amazon is selling it for less, and putting their branding on the product. I'm hardly a widget manufacturer, but to me this would be a nonsensical choice for a them to manufacture as an ODM for Amazon when they're also selling their own product through Amazon.
