Default Walmart sells Rikon lathes

Delivered to your house. Or delivered to the local one near you.

Handy. They have Big Trucks and have the ability.

they are just advertising products from a vendor who has contracted

Walmart is weird.


on the face i agree it does seem weird but the game is about logistics
in other words walmart will sell you anything you want to buy and
take whatever they can get of the transaction

would be interesting to know how much they make on a lathe sale


but actually that is changing too at least globally as other countries
start to come down on illegal activities of the amazons and others

amazon was raided overseas recently as they were doing bad things

it seems the trade war that has been going on forever is now turning
into something closer to a hot trade war

interesting times for sure
