Something random

Sunday, we made some price updates on our site.  Sometimes, these need to be tried and tested.  We updated our amazon feed and within a short amount of time, we got 4 orders on a Sunday within minutes of each other.  Something was certainly cooking. When we looked into it, we saw that the reason it was moved like wildfire is we were selling it at below OUR cost!  Saavy amazon shoppers who were searching for these particular products snatched them up. By the time it came to purchase the items from our suppliers, I realized we were gonna lose money on it with shipping costs and other little details.  So I deceided to see if i could buy it retail somewhere else.  Guess what...the cheapest place to buy it was on AMAZON, again. I was selling it on amazon for cost, and they were selling it there for cheap as well.  (Amazon has plenty of different companies with feeds.)  I don't know if they were selling it so cheap based on our pricing, because how could EVERYONE's pricing change so quickly based on our updates? Didn't make sense, but who knows? Anyone out there know anything about this? So anyway, I bought a product on amazon for the price we were selling it for, actually we made 2 bucks and got to save our name and didn't have to cancel the order.
