Consumers R Stupid


We offer subpar crap that doesn't last for cheap, which you think is good. It isn't. We're driving down quality in the supply chain. But it gets you in the door.

Then we sell good stuff that we can't force to drop quality (because we don't control those suppliers ... yet) for 1 or 2 cents less than you can get it at Best Buy, Target, etc. That way we can say we offer lower prices. Not meaningfully lower when it's on quality stuff. But you don't look that closely when you're buying shirts that fall apart after 3 washings for $3.99.
