The Used Inventory Problem: How Used Offers Reshape Advertised Pricing, Conversion and Buy Box Control on Amazon

Used, open-box and refurbished offers often sit on the same Amazon product detail page as your new-condition listings, at substantially lower advertised prices. For brands, they are more than an option for value-conscious shoppers.
