NewEgg just wants to sell you stuff. Amazon wants to control you.

history of concrete: sounds like a real block buster; and what’s “sold reasonability well” mean - 100, 1000?

Pop history is a small but growing category of books and as a reseller of books I can tell you that they are hard to keep in stock and hard to find.

People are interested in stuff and accessible history books on the history of stuff are good sellers. Even at premium prices.

Only thing I can find online is Newegg, a computer sales company. Is that what you’re talking about?

Most people don't think of looking anywhere else. I only accidentally used NewEgg because they had something I wanted, a specific phone battery, that Amazon didn't have. The only little downside was, you have to search around for tracking, otherwise, it was free shipping, my stuff arrived reasonably quick, and I don't feel like they're trying to rip me off. Amazon Ripoffs: They started me on Amazon Prime without telling me, they took a fee out of my bank account for 4 months. An author I know wrote a reasonably good selling book, never got a penny. (My brother-in-law's 1/2 brother, a book on the history of concrete.)

Amazon is by far the #1 online seller because it offers the most variety, overall very good service and free shipping to $25 minimum orders. In contrast, Walmart often has cheaper prices on basic items, esp. clothes, tools and many foods, and has far less variety and in stock items, and requires a minimum of $35 for free ship. NewEgg is very good for computer items, but cost more for other items and has lass variety than Amazon.
