    Alternatively, do always look on there because they’re often the cheapest and all companies are scummy.

    Amazon regularly beats out the brick and mortar stores in my country who reamed us for decades before we got access to the global market.

        It’ll be exactly the same as it was before than, the maximum people could pay before it affected sales.

          Yes I’m sure the prices will be the same after there’s absolutely no competition at all.

            There was no competition before, which is why it would be “the same as it was before”.

                Pretty much everything was a duopoly and as the market was so small they just grew to mutually exist without need to compete.

                Shit most of them are all owned by the same parent companies now.

                  My point being that while a duopoly may seem like a worst case scenario, it very much isn’t.

                    My point is that is isn’t any better or worse when there isn’t competition.

                    You’re still a captive market being charged the highest costs possible.
