It snowed really hard here recently. I went to buy two plastic sleds on Amazon, the type you find at a Walgreens for $5. They were $70. I've pretty much curbed my Amazon use for anything but niche hard to find items at this point.
Giant cheap plastic things are essentially a worst-case use for Amazon because the individual delivery cost is most of the price. When you get a 5$ sled at Walgreens, it's cheap because you get in your car and do the last-mile logistics yourself.
there is truth in that but it does not cost 65 dollars to stock and deliver a sled.
No, but $20 - $30 might be reasonable, and anything cheaper than $70 might be sold out by then.
Sure, but if $70 is what someone is willing to pay to not have to drive to Walgreens, why would they price it lower?
