One trend in my local Amazon that took me some time to notice was that sellers are no longer selling cheap stuffs at cost - I forgot what it was but let's say there was a little decorative gardening blind cap, and that cap was normally sold at $1.50 at physical stores, and it's $7.50 on Amazon. I was almost buying one of such things, then realized it can't cost that much, and that I can just walk to a physical store that has it to get it instantly. That made me realize that pricing on Internet is now more proportionate to utility than cost to deliver. People in the market for a cap to cover an unsightly pipe in the backyard pays that price, especially under $15 or whatever relative tolerable multiple of local minimum wages.
