The seller in question was selling items they didn’t have at a nearly 50% markup.

    I genuinely don’t know if there’s some Amazon policy or if they have an algorithm or whatever, or if people are just dumb enough to think anything other than 5 star reviews chase customers away.

    A product with no negative reviews at all…you’re telling me your QC is perfect, no one got a defective one, all of them survived shipping okay, it was never the wrong size or color, it perfectly met everyone’s expectations, and none of your customers are pavement chewing morons?

    Here’s a mystery for you: Jorgensen’s website. They sell carpentry clamps, plus an increasing line of hand tools. They’ve got a #4 smoothing plane that manages to be in the mid-range. You either get $20 pieces of useless shit from Harbor Freight, or $400 pieces of jewelry from Lie Nielson, and here comes Jorgensen with a $70 pretty okay plane. On their website, there’s not even a section for reviews on the #4’s page. They have announced a #5 jack plane, it’s not out yet, there’s a section for reviews there. With 5-star reviews “looking forward” to the product.

    Idea cancer much?
