And updoot! Quick n easy

Do you need to hit it again? crap

I’m to the left of the other Irish girl. If you squint you can see me.

when I sold to Amazon, they refused to do a deal at anybody else’s cost structure. They demand an extra discount, but they also buy two of everything you have and everything you sell. It’s a big trade off. Even getting the shipment organized because it’s not correct exactly, you can be fined. So I’m sure they make a little bit off of that, plus it is direct company strategy to undercut, so they eliminate competition. They have had no problem losing money while establishing their business structure. Also, their used books are procured by local people for pennies on the dollar and typically make the seller less than a dollar in profit . They are operating on very thin margins, and making their money elsewhere with the expectation of diminished competition.

Yhey also keep some of their overhead low. The retailer that wants to sell tonAmazon has to build their own sku’s into the system. It’s very tedious work, and takes a very long time, and you have to fill out all of their fields, even though most of them are very repetitive. It’s a large undertaking and not having to do it saves them a lot of money.

They also charge book sellers warehouse fees, so they don’t have to keep the books around their house waiting to sell. Again, all of these little things add up to pennies on the dollar but when you multiply it out by Amazon numbers it adds up.

They already have the infrastructure in place, having an extra line item doesn’t really affect Amazon as much as you think it might.

sometimes a company will do some thing called loss-leaders. Perhaps a new book comes out, and they want to sell it to $15 less than everybody else. They are willing to lose that money to get your business so that you do future business with them. They would like to sign up new accounts which is harder than getting existing accounts to double their spending. either way, engagement and purchases are up when you offer steep discounts.

that was a lot to take in before coffee on a Sunday morning! lol.

Can someone please point me in the direction of a coven on lemmy please?

started playing cat music at night. There is one called 528 Hz or some thing. It lasts like 10 hours. It has completely changed my local cat pride. The matriarch is old and was crying a lot at night, she sleeps better, we all sleep better. I hope maybe that helps?

Quick warning, use private, browsing, or your entire YouTube algorithm will be cat music. After all, you just watched 10 hours a day.

Beats getting hammered by spez!

we will all still be here when their hyperactivity wears off.

with the old Reddit simulator, personally I’m not going anywhere anytime soon. This place has a great user base and it feels so old-school.

I feel like a shill I’ve been pumping this so hard, as others have said, it feels like home.

Thank you for bringing it to more peoples attention so that we can make all of this stick around and take hold

Considering we’re founded by pirates, I think we’re good

wasn’t his proudest fap

I’ve been enjoying mlmym.org it mimics oldreddit. Still needs some flushing out, I would love to see it developed further.

Look no further for the cause of the obesity problem in America. It’s an everything. I bought what I thought were raw sausages and it was even in there.

Some people honestly believe the Earth is 6000 years old. And not a little amount of people, giant percentages of the United States of America. They believe dinosaur bones were placed by Satan. These people walk amongst us.

how are you going to reason with somebody like that??

My kink is admitting when I am wrong.

and laughing all the way to the bank

have you tried turning it on and off again?

that’s an amazing response time! Society needs more of this. Coming through the other side of the pandemic, there are still people who have barely left their house.

Someone linked mlmym.org

which mimics oldreddit… I feel at home now.

I go back to check hometown sub once or twice a day. if I go to the front page, I only make it through about half before I realize what I’m doing and switch. Quite honestly, it feels poisonous. Whatever algorithm they have my brain has decided it can live without.

The soggy fries, everybody seems to love, gross me out.
