5 or 10 years ago, a ton of deals would be at Amazon. Now it has dropped a lot. I have friends buying from Amazon for Black Friday when the deals at other stores are generally better. They are used to Amazon now.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoI am not sure what the point is here. Your friends have freedom and ability to choose to buy from multiple retailers, Amazon has freedom to choose its selling price, resellers on Amazon have freedom to choose their price, and competitors to Amazon have the freedom to choose their price. Who is the harmed party?
- thewhitetulip 5y agoAmazon has a massive warchest which they used over decades to undercut their competitors. Just like Uber does to theirs. Yes, technically nothing apart from Billion dollars is stopping amazon's competition to beat amazon in their own game. You gotta a billion dollars I can borrow?
- lotsofpulp 5y agoUndercut means sell at a loss. Has Amazon been selling at a loss, anymore than Walmart/Target/Home Depot/etc?
- thewhitetulip 5y agoAmazon/walmart/target are one and the same.
