Wayfair thoughts from an e-commerce anon…
I ran an e-com company for 10 years, all of it, top to bottom. Started in the early Ebay days and morphed into self-branded and multi-channel (Amazon, etc).
The back-end inventory systems are complex but not all to difficult if you have people that understand number data sets (think excel, csv files etc). We we're pretty big and sophisticated.
In my view it is not possible to explain Wayfair as simply data entry errors or rogue coder. It's a brutal business to be in and price is manipulated daily, hourly and in Amazons' case by the customers history at times (yes, people see different pricing based on their history).
I tend to be a skeptic in general (anon trait I suppose) and tread lightly around things that appear so obviously shady (hi M&M) but in this anons mind, what has been discovered so far defies reasoned logic (mine).
Interestingly enough, social media normies seem to really be convinced by this discovery. Like they have learned enough and just needed to have someone pull the curtain back for them. Cheers.
