    Why would Amazon want to hinder the accuracy of the price tracking in that way? I would imagine Amazon wants their 30% cut (Depending on Category) and they want it as fast as possible. Their entire business is predicated on Churn, and Logistics.

    In that way - I would imagine CamelCamelCamel increases conversion.

    I wonder if the Coupons were shown to increase conversion for the ‘Coupon’ ladies that everyone sees in their local grocer. They only buy when they get a ‘Good Deal’. They’re willing to spend 9 hours to save $0.76 and they never “pay sticker price.”

    They are the same thing. I have 3 dozen eggs for sale. Buy em or don’t. I might get more. I might not.

    How do you expect them to know how many of an item physically exists in the world?

    It’s just a store like every other store. The seller sends their inventory to Amazon. Amazon stores it, and then ships it. The Seller doesn’t tell Amazon how many total it has.

    You don’t see how many the seller has. You don’t see how many the manufacturer has sitting in their warehouse. You don’t see how many of this item were ever made. You don’t see if the manufacturer can make more, or how many people they will potentially make in their entire existence.

    You just see how many Amazon has in stock for sale right now.

    But it is how it works. There are literally Millions of people buying stuff on Amazon on any one day.

    Amazon and in fact no store just buys 7 widgets, and that’s all they’re ever going to own. They have a constant supply going in from suppliers, and a constant supply going out in the form of purchases.

    Anything that doesn’t - isn’t selling and it’s costing someone a huge amount of money to sit there, taking up space.

    Well for starters if both went on full strike as of tomorrow. Society would collapse from the massive amount of garbage first.

    But mostly because Teaching is both a “women’s job” and secondly, it is a “passion” job. Everything that is someone’s passion always pays less because people will accept lower wages for their “passion”.

    Also Garbage Collectors aren’t public sector in many places.


  • My problem isn’t with either. I am just stating that your average Smart Watch isn’t going to be worth anything in 10 years. There is the battery itself, then the fact that software at best is supported for 3 maybe 4 years, hardware support may or may not exist.

    They are inherently disposable while a Rolex, and most watches actually are capable, if not intended, to be heritage pieces capable of surviving decades.

    It’s not Apples to Apples.

    In 10 years that Rolex will hold its value, and may even appreciate in value as they often do.

    Even a $40 Casio will still be working good as new in 10 years with less than $5 in parts & labor.

    Your $400 smart watch will be literal garbage because its battery is nonreplaceable.
