In a nutshell, it’s the idea that there are two entirely separate markets for the production of identical items. The first is the retail market where you buy a product and it’s either a knockoff or something similar but with slightly different or better quality. The other market is the wholesale market. Here you buy a product from a manufacturer and the manufacturer supplies the exact product you’re looking for, but you’re not buying the exact same item. The difference in price can be 10% or more.
This is a big problem. In the retail market, there are a lot of knockoff items (think cheap knockoff sunglasses) and a lot of items that are simply different, but cheap. In the wholesale market, there are a lot of similar items that make the same general appearance, but are priced far lower. But if you buy the exact item youre looking for, you can get a 10% discount.
Same Price. Buying an item that looks different than the one you’ve seen in the store is a common way for a seller to undercut a seller’s price. Also, the fact that the item has the same general appearance as what you saw in the store means you’re probably going to stick with it.
The same thing happens in the retail store. There are a lot of similar items in the same size, shape, color, and price. But if you buy an item that’s unique to the store, they will sell it for a discount.
The sale of identical items is another common tactic used by sellers to undercut the price of a product. Because of the large number of similarities between the buyer and seller items, most people tend to buy their item regardless of how much it is actually different from what they saw in the store (remember, the seller is only trying to get out of selling the item at its normal price). The same thing happens in the retail store.
For example, as I recently noted from reading the comments online, the retail store is often the most common venue for sellers to get discounts. They don’t try to get the buyer to buy the item, the seller is only trying to get the buyer to buy the item at a discount. The same thing can be said about manufacturers. For example, most people don’t buy a car just because it is the same as the one they saw at the car dealership.
If the same item is sold at the store for the same price, but at the manufacturer’s store for a higher price, then it is the same item. For example, when a company decides to move their headquarters to a new location, they often decide to move the headquarters to a new location and split the employees between the new location and the original location. The employees move from the original location to the new location and then the employees from the new location move to the original location.
The point of this is that all the same items in the original store are not identical items in the new store. If you bought some products from Amazon, then you purchased them from Amazon.com rather than Amazon.com.com. If you purchased some products from Walmart, then you purchased them from Walmart.com rather than Walmart.com. If you purchased some products from Costco, then you purchased them from Costco.com rather than Costco.com. And so on.
The fact that the products and items in the original store are not identical to the products and items in the new store is what makes it unique. It shows that the original store has a distinct personality and that it is not just a copy of the new store. It’s not just a new location. It’s a new store.
