Amazon SHOULD BE ALLOWED
Allows Free market to decide
Stores will have a lower return rate
Customers may decide to check amazon at home first if not allowed to check in store, and will probably just buy it on amazon if they are already at home.
Let customer decide where they want to purchase
Let me know if this is WAY too simple :)

3. Amazon SHOULD BE ALLOWED
HUIXIAN YIN
Amazon SHOULD BE ALLOWED
Customer can decide for themselves how much waiting a few days for an item is worth to them
Increases sales for amazon
Creates competition and better prices for consumers
Barcode Scanner App - shows you different prices from different websites including the cheapest price

Amazon SHOULD BE ALLOWED
Saves time and hassle for the customers
If a customer buys an item and they find it significantly cheaper somewhere else, such as Amazon, they will most likely return it anyway
Saves time and hassle for the company
This also wastes time for the company because they will be making transactions and then losing them when customers come back and return items

5. Amazon SHOULD BE ALLOWED
KATHLEEN WON
Amazon SHOULD BE ALLOWED
Promotes further development in relevant technologies such as data collection and picture identification
They're just keeping up with the market
Besides Amazon's Price Check app, there are RedLaser, Pic2Shop, Goodzer, and ShopSavvy.
As a result, even if Amazon did not have this app, there would be plenty of other accessible versions.

The offer could cost the companies a lot of money if everyone downloads the app and plays along.
When people talk about the demise of small retailers, who put time, care and expertise into their shops:
---- this is the sort of thing that's killing them ----
Amazon is deliberately aiming to rob regular retailers of the one thing Amazon can't provide:
---- actual touch and feel shopping ----

People are already aware of online shopping.
Way to destroy more jobs.
I can't see how that is remotely fair for retailers.

8. Amazon SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED
CY NEITA
Amazon SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED
Since Amazon is often a proxy retailer, it would benefit from selling others' goods
Changes the market space of the competition
Would encourage retail marketers to disguise their goods in an attempt to fool the application
Disguises could also fool customers

CY NEITA
Amazon SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED
This application may also encourage retailers to cheapen their goods to remain competitive
Cheaper goods means lower quality, which is undesirable by definition
Leads consumers to purchase from big companies ousting mom-and-pop businesses from the market
This application is also restrictive, as not everyone has Internet-enabled phones
Divides consumers
