How is this going to be any different than the cheap shit that is already on there?

Would be nice if they moved all the cheep crap to the new store and keep quality stuff on regular amazon but something tells this not going to happen.

Oh so we can totally know we're getting counterfeit crap instead of the current gamble trying to by brand name.

Maybe Amazon decided it was just easier to sell garbage on purpose.

So cheaper Chinese garbage straight to the garbage?

Great, so we'll have 3 shitty ways to buy things that suck. Oh yeah, I guess we will include ebay too, fine.

Alternative: didn't we already have this shitty store? it's called Amazon.

I thought they already were a reseller store full of cheap crap?

"Aliexpress closer to home" -Amazon

Amazon bought woot.com years ago and slowly added more cheap items to it. Are they gonna expand that concept/brand?
