Have You Ever Wondered How Much it Would Cost To Buy Every Item on Amazon.com?
Have you ever wondered how much it would cost to buy one of every item on Amazon? Apparently it is around $12.86 billion, and you would receive about 479 million items. This means that each item would cost in the region of $26.86, and this was worked out in a strange sort of way.

For some reason, there is a Random Amazon Product button and take note if there are a couple of prices shown. There will be one that it is hoped you will buy, and this is highlighted in red. Carry on following the same process until you have found 100 items and while it will take a while to do this. If there were a bot that could do it, it would be ideal but in the absence of such a thing, it will have to be done manually. Once all the figures had been collected it was possible to produce a histogram that showed how much each item would cost.

It showed that the most often, the price was under $5, and only a small number of products cost over $100. As soon as prices rise above $30, they become at the higher end of the 30 such as $39.99.
One item made a big difference to the figures as it cost $588.50 and without this, the average price would drop down to $2.30. It would be interesting to see if Amazon and their IT department could get an exact figure for following this process.
