I think of Amazon Basics a little more like "buying from the company store" in the book The Grapes of Wrath.
It's an old retail move: a popular SKU is copied by the store to take more margin from its demand. Your suppliers test product viability for you.
- filoleg 7y agoI cannot speak for the entire range of AmazonBasics offerings, but that definitely doesn't seem like the case of just copying. Afaik AmazonBasics monitor arms specifically are just rebadged Ergotech arms that are actually still manufactured by Ergotech. P.S. sidenote, can totally recommend their monitor arms.

- fredophile 7y agoI think it's actually worse than that. Buying Amazon Basics is pretty much the only way for you to know that the product you're buying on Amazon came from a reputable seller. The commingling of inventory means almost anything else you buy on Amazon could be a low quality counterfeit that came from a random seller.
