Skeeter;

I tend to agree with most of what you say. I too have taken full advantage of many of the ridiculous special oofers that many of these sites have run to drive traffic. I must have 3 years supply of multivitamins sitting in my closet which cost me a total of a couple of $ including shipping.

When the shakeout in etailing is over (its just starting) I think we will be left with a small handful of much stronger players who will end up competing on convenience, as opposed to price, with their offline competitors.

As an example of a business model which is working very well along these lines is Netflix.com, a DVD rental site. Although I end up paying slightly more per month, given the number of rentals I typically see, nothing beats the convenience of their service.
