So I think that this new idea could work very well indeed.Especially as MOST people would prefer to buy brand new from Amazon than buy used.People like me who don't mind or don't insist on BRAND NEW items will be the better off for it. |
However, the interesting thing about these shops is that many of them appear to be undercutting Amazon for
new items, which is what puzzles me somewhat. However, Amazon must be happy. I may give it a whirl.
EDIT And if I may extend your argument, I'd guess that many people would rather get a new item from a well known, proven source, that is Amazon, rather than a cheaper but unknown source. Perhaps we're simply carrying the maxim "If it's too good to be true then it can't be true" too far.
