I tried to think of something Amazon doesn't sell.

After consulting with a few friends, we came up with "cockroach toys". (Amazon sells many cockroach toys, especially plushies). Can you come up with something outrageous that Amazon doesn't sell?

That will probably change if Bezos gets his way.

I guess because one needs to provide age verification.

Unless sold by a third party seller (and some of the above, they USED to, but no more).

They have it, but it's mostly non-alcoholic beer and it's expensive as hell, like $30 for a 12 pack. They have ginger beer, and I might order some of that one of these days. Amazon sells drugs. You can send your prescriptions to them and they'll send them to you.

I own a popular retail store and e-commerce website in NYC and sell only in our 2 retail locations and on our website. I made the decision years ago and don’t regret it.

I reckon he may have to amend that statement soon.
