No threat here of any magnitude IMO. While a niche market may develop -via- the fools that really believe the cost is the lowest, they still have to overcome the obstacle of consumers trusting a comp. sale to the web. With shipping costs and the wait for arrival I don't see the general masses landing at their web page and pulling out the credit card for a sale price that would still have to be surfed around the web and confirmed to be the lowest. Most likely Mr. & Mrs. Joe/Mary Penny Wise consumer on a second time purchase may take this route...I still believe that first time buyers will want to pay, carry & plug it in right after dinner and will never migrate to the Onsale site (oximoron...can't surf if it's their first purchase anyway:):):) Hey don't I know you from another thread? Was it the old Netcom or maybe MICA. Your identity looks familiar and remember some very astute and wise posts from you (firm/fund). Rich (Not really worried about this Onsale thing...yet anyway)
