I don't see this as a big deal. What will be the average order size for these Free Shipping orders (ones over $100 in general) placed between then and Nov. 22? Many of those orders will likely be digital equipment, such as cameras, printers, etc. Avg. sale could very well be >$200, and avg shipping cost could very well be <$15. You guys are making way too big a deal out of this. Sure, free shipping encourages people to shop at Amazon.com, but competitive prices, selection, and customer service do a whole lot more than free shipping. Geez, the holiday shopping season is just getting underway anyway. Randy, Do you ever find something wrong with Amazon? I continually point out the fundamentals as they develop and how I anticipate them to develop. Excluding the price of the stock, my record on Amazon's fundamentals is perfect. It not just close It is perfect. Electronics are not a high margin product. To throw in a $15 cost to ship when one could get revenue for the shipping that exceeds the cost of shipping, is a sign of panic. This company has never executed well. I am not sure what the big deal is about being able to sell a $1 for 90 cents. That is all that has happened with Amazon. Amazon would be history like many other B2C dot coms. The only reason they are not is due to the amazing amount of extra cash they raised from the equity markets. Let's look at their investments. We are talkign millions of dollars most of which are now worthless. Would you want them to manage your portfolio? I know there are believers in the firm. I can't find any positive fundamentals. I can only find negative fundamentals. The only positive that seems to be thrown around in their customer base and that is difficult to quantify. This company has been in business for 6 years and they are so far from turning a profit it is comical Glenn
