Glenn, listen to yourself. I have to go now, but ask yourself why Toys put themselves
completely in Amazon's hands and took all the inventory risk besides.


I have and concluded Amazon needed TOY as much as TOY need Amazon for now. TOY saw no point in spending millions of dollars for distribution centers when the future of this type of selling is unkown. Amazon does not know retail and toys are far more difficult due to the non ability to return the unsold inventory. They neede TOY to hadle to inventorying for them.

This is an edit:

How much revenue percentage wise is Amazon going to receive from TOY? How much per piece handled? In other words, what do you know about the economic specifics of the deal?
