Domainer's Gazette-Home

My wife recently got one of those Sonicare toothbrushes, and the darn thing made her teeth look like they were brightened by a dentist. So today I decided to do a little research to buy one for myself. Amazon.com was my first stop.

So I plugged in ‘Sonicare’ into their search box, and got the search results. The first listing featured the Sonicare replacement brush heads, but that wasn’t what caught my eye. Per the picture below, Amazon was quite proud of the fact that they had ‘9 Used and New’ Replacement brush heads..

Now, logic would tell me they aren’t selling used toothbrush heads. But the caption clearly says ‘Used & New’. So hey, who knows, they might be selling used one’s, right?

now, of course, they aren’t actually selling used toothbrush heads, but it got me thinking… what other items does Amazon promote as Used, that really shouldn’t be sold Used..

since toothbrush heads was #8, here’s #7

Number 7 - Q-Tips

simply, an overall gross level here. Imagine someone diggin some wax out of their ear, then passing the Q Tip to you.. na-hasty..

Number 6 - Mouthwash

I envision folks taking a swig, gargling, gargling some more, then fitting their mouth back over the bottle and re-spitting back in.

Number 5 - Baby Diapers

So many levels of wrong here. I guess you attack this problem with a tanker load full of baby powder.

Number 4 - Adult Diapers

Now, the fact that an adult would actually consider buying used diapers for themselves is disturbing.

Number 3 - Cat Litter

I can’t see a way cats would accept this. Sorry Amazon.

Number 2 - Toilet Paper

Maybe cause it’s 2-ply, you can re-sell the second layer?

Number 1 - Condoms

sorry, I had to go there. Actually, Amazon had to go there. They’re the ones selling ‘em. Oye..
