Yeah. Key difference. If the kellogs flakes don't sell at a higher price then Wallmart loses out. It's on Wallmarts balance sheet. If Amazon doesn't sell the brand they have a contract with and now compete with they don't lose out. It's not on their balance sheet. They don't buy that inventory, spend on that shelfspace, etc

Additionally I believe Amazon was pricefixing in cooperation with other retailers.
