Google has a store?

No wonder the website formerly known as Twitter intends to absorb the entire financial industry.

If I sounds too good to be true it almost always is. Although I did hear about Walmart dot com accidentally pricing 5 quart bottles of SH rated motor oil for 69 cents each.

Google auctions search terms every day. At least they did 15 years ago when I was managing a line of ATVs and UTVs and our sales guys were periodically bid on search terms like ATV, UTV, or even competitor vehicles like Yamaha Rhino. (Yes, you can pay google to show your item before the actual item someone is searching for)

That is also why sometimes when you search for something like "Honda" you will get results for dealerships before the www.honda.com

Yes, but it only sells google products like their phones, tablets, watches, earbuds, and smart home devices

https://store.google.com

I bought a Pixel 8 from them about 2 weeks ago because they offered a $300 trade for my Pixel 6a and a free set of Pixel Buds Pro (MSRP $199). I then sold it to a friend at a good discount + his Pixel 5a since Google wasn't offering anything for his Pixel 5a. He got a $300 discount and I'll make a few bucks on selling the Pixel Buds on Ebay.
