when people say third party they dont mean individuals.

Look at MCC bundle, it says "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com"

The AC Bundle says "Sold by EA Electronics and Fulfilled by Amazon"

Amazon themselves no longer have it in their stock, however they are selling other retailer's stocks (I assume they take a cut). Up until 3 days ago the AC Bundle said "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com"

Can you spell this out more clearly? I didn't know this.

 

When Amazon originally launch the concept was they would sell product for other retailers in a consolidated location. So if you own a store and want to be able to sell something online you could post it on Amazon and they would sell it and take a cut. When Amazon began to boom they began stocking their own product (this is obviously more profitable because they keep the whole profit instead of just a cut).

That is why you can find great deals on Amazon, many times retailers use it to get rid of stock. What I think we are seeing is retailers trying to clear out the ACU bundle using Amazon.

THANK YOU! That gives me a whole new way of looking at things.
