It seems like Amazon does this with a lot of products, but thier are name brand top 100 products that Amazon doesn't sell | Yes, have done this. Maybe not top 100, but some very good items.
The downfall of this on AZ is that AZ will monitor sales. Have had many great items moving well and then BOOM, no sales. Why? Because AZ went out and is now selling them at 15-20% above cost.
We do the hard work and then AZ takes over (really sucks).
If you keep good records, you can reverse this at Christmas as AZ runs out of stock (but is a gamble). |
