Analysts are sometimes fools, dishonest, or both. I will
bet that my estimate of 5% market share of the online
retailing market will be much closer to reality than Keith
Benjamin's 30 - 40%. What prize will I win? nothing. And
Keith Benjamin's 30 - 40% market share estimate will long
be forgotten.


Jeff,

Your post is excellent. I also believe 5% of the market for Amazon is a very high assumption. It is so easy to chose the competition. Also, profit margins will not be 5% either. Price competition will be stronger than it is at present.
