But directly from the manufacturer to avoid it. Also, if you’re an American, I ask when has this country protected consumers over corporations in the past two decades? C’mon.

They buy in large enough quantities they ask the brand and manufacturer to make them a specific way to hit a price point in their stores that they sell them for. They’re never the exact same model or anything that would buy directly from the brand or something. The items are often one digit off and tough to find on the tag.

Same goes for Black Friday stuff. They order shit specifically made to be sold on Black Friday and no other day. It’s fair shittier bc it has to be sold so cheaply at their stores. Electronics are a great example.
