A fascinating example of arbitrage.

There are a lot of horrible (Uber, counterfeiters exploiting Amazon's product
co-mingling etc etc) and horrifying (DoorDash) examples of the modern economy,
but this seems like a great example of computing both at the edge (phones) and
cloud (amazon's pricing database) for the benefit of everyone (retailer gets
rid of those jeep toys; buyer elsewhere can find a jeep toy, and person
driving around gets paid to facilitate). I love it.

Chris is one of the most generous people Ive seen in the business.

Not afraid of hard work either.
