Or the same thing every company in retail has done forever
- tyoma 4y agoRemember when Amazon listed private label brands, like every retailer has done for decades if not longer, and there was a collective freak out?
- peanuty1 4y agoI think the freak-out was that Amazon was leveraging its data to create copycat products.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoI assume all businesses do this, before Amazon ever existed.
- Regnore 4y agoHow many options are there for retail?
- lotsofpulp 4y agoIn the US, each area usually has Costco/Walmart/Target, Best Buy/Apple, Home Depot/Lowes, Staples/OfficeDepot, Kroger/Albertsons/regional grocer, Nordstrom/Macys/Kohls/Old Navy/Gap.
- bombcar 4y agoThe main difference is the retail companies still vet the suppliers before letting them duke it out for shelf space. Monster may have paid Best Buy to be on the shelf, but at least I have some guarantee that Best Buy actually bothered to check that the HDMI cable is actually an HDMI cable (and if it wasn't, would notice and pull it eventually). Amazon lets anyone sell anything, and then takes a cut in multiple ways.
