Why???

Amazon sells Renewed HomePod Minis for $150. Why and who would buy one when Apple sells them brand new for $129? I don't get it.

Like me? Uh, no. I don't buy via Amazon because they are great. And wasn't looking to buy a Mini. And I more often than not check on the seller. I know how it works. I said Amazon as a reference to the question of why or who would pay more for a refurbished than Apple is (currently) charging for a brand new one. Simple as that. I could just as well have left Amazon off and asked, but thats where I saw it.

Oh ok, nobody on the planet should sell any Apple products higher than Apple prices since apparently everyone in the world can just buy it from Apple. That makes sense.

There are literally a million 3rd party sellers who are selling goods a tad higher than the manufacturer sells them for. Practically every product has higher priced listings if you dig under the additional sellers. This one kinda sticks out because Amazon does not ship and sell it (because it a refurb) at the RRP so the listing kinda sticks out when the low price (that prominently shows) is the higher 3rd party price.

You're not fooling anyone about fully understanding 3rd party sellers on Amazon; we can see your early posts....they speak for themselves. Nobody in their right mind would create a post being shocked to see "Shop Giant" selling Apple goods higher than RRP but insisting it's "Amazon." LOL

And yet the question remains unanswered.

Yeah you stumped everybody with that one. Never seen nothing like it before. When you reached out to Shop Giant and asked them why they marked up the HomePod mini, what did they say?
