They need to look into used items being sold as new.

Something that I’m curious about with Amazon is how they shut some customers out of their coupons and discounts, the perception is that they identify long term customers as bargain hunters and take them for granted by not showing the coupons to them, although they are there for the general public, that is a growing complaint, the coupon is there in incognito search but not when the account is identified with cookies.

I hope he does. I’m pretty tired of the Chinese crap that Amazon is selling to the detriment of American innovators and entrepreneurs. If Elon does put together an Amazon competitor, there should be company standards that put American goods first, lower the percent that it charges the sellers, add an online fee to Chinese goods, check to see if the Chinese item is an illegal copy of an American product, etc. I’d sign up in a heartbeat!

Lots of printer cartridges are counterfeits. Sold as 10,000 copy cartridges and only get 3-4,000.

In auto parts alone cheap knock-offs have caused the price of OEM-quality components to skyrocket.

Lots of times, the red dot (Indians) in the warehouse switch out the news stuff for their broken stuff.
It has happened to me twice.

The new name brand security cameras I had ordered came to me used and the wrong brand (cheap Chinese knockoffs) but in the name brand box.
