Interesting point.

The bazaar part of amazon is the worst part for me. It’s purely noise. I hate it and do whatever I can to filter it out. I just want the store part of amazon and like their basics brand stuff.



That's by design. You can't know whether a product legitimately came from the original manufacturer or was sent to an amazon warehouse by a third party seller. Therefore AmazonBasics is the only "trust worthy" brand on Amazon and the only reason it is trust worthy is that there is targeted campaign (by letting fraud happen) against every other brand that isn't AmazonBasicsbrand.


In certain parts of the world supermarkets are built to be two stories or more so that the ground floor may be rented out to small vendors. I don't see anybody object to that.


Most people prefer to pay a fixed fair price instead of potentially being ripped off because they don't personally know the seller. Haggling constantly is an awful waste of time


I think haggling is a big sign of an immature market. But I’m not sure that really touches on parent’s point that there can be both.

And I’m not sure parent really touches on my point that the bazaar part of amazon is just noise.

It’s worse than unreliable junk. A vendor is showing up and dropping their orange painted lemons onto amazon’s orange display.
