There’s no consistency in this business, as we get products for the first time, we might not find that product again! 

• No reputation 

If a customer buys a product from our store, customers consider it just buying it from any random brand! 

• No goodwill of the brand:

When we sell other brand products, we don’t make any goodwill, goodwill is just for the brand in this model.
