> There are many products at Target that are simply inferior and more expensive than their alternatives on Amazon.

And there are many products on Amazon that are fake. At least I know what I'm getting at Target, and returns don't involve negotiating for a shipping label and figuring out where there's a package drop-off nearby.

> As a quick example, is Bic still the best manufacturer of the best available pens?

Probably not, but luckily they're not the only brands that Target carries in-store: Paper Mate, Pilot, BIC, NPW, Pentel, Staedtler, Sugar Rush, Uniball, up&up, Write Dudes, and Yoobi are all advertised as pen brands sold by Target.

I agree, I'm saying that Target and Amazon would be an amazing intersection of two great umbrella brands.
