Wayfairs stuff just has people names like how Ikea has Swedish names.

Except these cabinets aren't home end tables of a certain marketable style aimed at consumers. These are "industrial 5 shelf storage units." Companies don't give cutesy names to stuff like that.

Also, they're all the same product. It's the same damn plain white cabinet. Or the same Zodiac pillow. Different listings of the same item with different specific girls' names doesn't fit the model you're proposing. The IKEA analogy doesn't hold up.

most of that price is probably from automatic shipping calculation since you probably need a special truck to delivery and unload it at the destination.

Finally an explanation that holds together (for the cabinets, at least). But I can't help but notice that it's not the explanation that Wayfair themselves provided. They could have said "The price includes the substantial shipping cost." They didn't. They said "the prices are accurate."

There's another decent point against the theory that I can think of, which I haven't heard anyone else mention yet. I'm curious if honest defenders will ever think of it. Because so far, they seem to be eagerly leaping to only the worst arguments available.

i'm sure it costs $9875 to ship a pillow.
