Some think this is a marketing gimmick. I don’t:
1. They would not be able to resist making the price a cute number, like Prime day’s date, eg $7.16
2. They would later claim intentionality to not seem incompetent.
3. If they stuck to a product category, they would pick a category of mainstream or sympathetic appeal. Eg: pool toys for summer fun, back to school items, gaming pc or kids clothes.
4. They would bake in stop loss prevention. IE putting a per account quantity cap in place, and a global quantity cap.
I’m kind of surprised at many people thinking it was intentional— it’s a good use of imagination but going a bit deeper the execution does not fit with any imaginary world I can envision.
