Edinburgh store where I shopped: they tried ecomm, but was at core their retail location. No way to reconcile online/offline inventory!

People buy in-store. Meanwhile online shoppers buys same item, which they now can't fulfill because they had no time to reconcile inventory

They're too small for warehouse. FB group lets them put up wares, shoppers ask; they reconcile on/offline at their own pace. Problem solved

I have a friend who spends on high-end handcrafted metal tops. They have perfect balance, exotic metals, limited production, very elite.

Yes, those are actually almost exclusively in the $4-800+ price range. Straight up a different price stratus than spinners.
