Example box stores they are middle man that buy in bulk from different manufacturers and provide a service of convenience of just go down to a store and buy. They mark it up for there sevices of conveniences it took. Otherwise they didnt do a damn thing. Amazon has gone a set further and doesnt have to pay for a retail busniess boxstore costs like light expensive land taxes in prime locations ect. One day i hope we as individuals can buy directly from the manufacturers. Someone needs to make pooled order buys more mainstream. 20k people want to buy a Camry with same options, everyone puts up there money and Toyota would sell them the vehicles. But laws have bedn past by dealerstealerships.
