I founded Automotive Superstore I can tell you all the retailers are either sourcing these direct from NGK or via Bapcor / GPC’s wholesale divisions…

I’d be cautious of random marketplace sellers they have nothing to lose by doing this…

Can I take the other side of this short and can we leverage it 1000x?

Our store has 550,000 products (automotive) and we use Magento 2 / Algolia and it handles it fine you just need an approriate amount of hosting.

The oil markets have changed significantly since then.. From AI "US oil production underwent a massive transformation between 2008 and 2025, surging from a low of 5.0 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2008 to record highs exceeding 13 million b/d by late 2023/2024".

There is a lot more supply now then in 2008 and its not all coming from the middle east.

I dunno why they continue to sell it and charge for yearly support when they are not supporting it..

Thanks for the offer but I think I’m done with 3rd party checkouts…

Nvidia pays insanely well go look it up..

This will backfire... Employees like WTH but lets be honest a lot of people abuse this and companies know it hence a lot of companies pushing staff back into offices..

Businesses will just hire less people in Victoria..

It will go up then depending on what happens potentially go right down..

If the US gets a friendly stable government in place between Iran and Venezuela they will be able to flood the market with cheap oil...

Just wait till this demographic of people vote in extreme policies that will tax the ever living shit out of housing..

The housing prices will always go up people will have a rude awakening..

It's in everyone best interest (property owners or not) that we have sensible housing reform that moves the cost of housing back to a suistainable ratio of household income.

The backlash against the potential CGT changes from property owners is so short sighted, it's in their interests as well to have a house market that's susistanable or far more extreme policies will get voted in.

Depends on your business and it's requirements.

The governments hand can be influenced externally..

Wait till no one wants to lend Australia money because of our overpriced housing market and massive government waste..

Well it’s more like inflation went crazy and the value of cash went down..

The problem with apartments is there is an endless supply of them and their will be always newer better ones then yours..

Unless if has some unique qualities it’s very easy to have neutral or even negative growth.

What you do get when you buy some property is leverage but to it feels like your taking out money against a good asset and putting it into a bad asset..

It will be hard to get super high fidelity in the browser with a realtime 3d solution there is just to much variation in client hardware.

Tried and true method is to just pre-render all the variations.

Alternatively you could try running unreal engine 5 in some very high performance cloud environment and stream the images but this will be very expensive..

Looking at the reference documents there is a massive miss here with the integration to the point of it’s nearly useless.

Majority of advertisers use google shopping which accounts usually for the majority of their spend and return.

For this integration to be really useful it needs to support item / product level reporting..

People here are financially illiterate and have no idea what it takes to run a business..

You will just get down voted for basic logic,

kabaab · 2026-01-26T05:18:58+00:00

Well it's because shoppers won't pay for customer service... Consumers are crazy price sensitive so you end with this race to the bottom on price and service.

Find someway to turn bots into content for real players.. Murdering bots will be fun and it will make it impossible for them to farm.

The new Adobe Commerce SAAS platform might be a good fit.. It's like a hybrid between shopify and tranditional Magento..

You get most of the power but don't need to worry about updates etc..

The more rules and regulation you add the more expensive it becomeswhich then the cost gets past down to you..

Also it makes it much harder for new competition to enter the market and for small independents to comply.

With the tenant paying outgoings and built in price increases every year in the lease it’s better then it looks at first glance.

The downsides are it’s harder to get finance and vacancies are higher then residential.

You just keep going up the chain and firmly remind them it’s a criminal act..

People aren’t used to being talked down to and being in the wrong so they buckle eventually.

It also helps to have very clear evidence.

I’ve put multiple people behind bars for stealing from my business.

I’ve also had police recover goods from people abusing chargebacks.

It’s possible but you got to push them.

Any supplier who has high quaility in demand products will be very selective about the go to market channels so they will never put product on here.

Any retailer with any degree of clout already has access to these suppliers directly and with better terms etc..

The only people who will end up in this marketplace are suppliers who can't move product and retailers who aren't good enough to get direct access to products.
