Who is paying $1600 for an Alexa with wheels? I looked at it just for curiosity based on my "invitation" and tbh I don't find any way to justify that steep price for literally an Echo Show on rollerblades. Perhaps elder people or someone with a disability might benefit but they use that as a very small segment for amazon to pour resources in plus they don't really market it like that... even if it's just a test that they want you to pay $$$$ to be part of... I am sad that they are laying off people while launching those crappy products. https://www.amazon.com/Introducing-Amazon-Astro/dp/B078NSDFSB
eBay scalpers. They buy literally everything
the second seller is literally selling at a loss. Third one lost the battle to begin with trying to undercut Amazon. eBay charges 13.5% fee + let’s say a 10% sales tax that seller paid to buy it in first place + absorb the cost of the shipping… I can’t see them making any money on it Unless it was cheaper before?
eBay probably gonna charge more than 10% for electronics. Yeah idk why that person is selling a brand new Astro at all
A tremendous embarrassment of a product for Amazon. This will go down to be a worse embarrassment than the Fire Phone. This is what $10B in Alexa spending buys you btw, and a very significant reason for laying off 27,000 people.
IMO Amazon creates crappy consumer hardware. The echo products are just fine but very basic hence they work for many. Same with Fire, they are a just fine alternative to Roku. The rest are pretty mediocre, I’d love to have a refund for my Halo, what a piece of shit fitness tracker.
Your wish is granted
Playing devil's advocate. Maybe useful as a bridge for developing a more complex project, hardware or software . Like buying Google glass as a dev tool rather than for its consumer appeal. Definitely wont sell many units
