Is this a bug or is it real? Everyone is saying that Otto is the new European amazon but it doesn't seems like that. (I am already buying from allegro but they don't have this product in stock)

They are also a German multimillionaire family. They are old German money. The kind that uses their political influence to lobby against property or inheritance taxes.

So it really is an alternative to Amazon in all regards:

  • Selling cheap crap from china to overblown prices
  • Giving money to people who have too much already
  • Using that money to influence the politics in favour of the richest

I just hope they also have shitty customer service and handle their employees like shit so they can replace the big A.

Not to defend them, but almost every single rich person lobbies for less property and inheritance taxes
