This has me wondering if there's an opportunity for an online retailer that doesn't take returns (except where required by law) in exchange for reduced prices.

This has me wondering if there's an opportunity for an online retailer that doesn't take returns (except where required by law) in exchange for reduced prices. Maybe their platform could include an integrated eBay like marketplace for selling what would have been returned.
- patrickthebold 4y agoJet.com did something like that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet.com#Features https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet.com#Features
- alangibson 4y ago> If the user waived their right to return an item, the item decreased in price That's a smart approach. Make it the consumers choice. I would make the modification of allowing buyers to list the stuff they don't want right back on the site and ship it consumer-to-consumer.
- kirykl 4y agoWoot.com used to have this no return/low price model, before they were bought by Amazon. Now they take returns but charge for the shipping
- alangibson 4y agoIt's such an obvious idea that it almost certainly has to be deeply flawed, given that no one still in business is doing it.
