"eToys to File for Bankruptcy, Stock Worthless" dailynews.yahoo.com My opinion is Etoys was one of the best run pure plays. The deal between Amazon and Toys R Us did them in. This prooves that dual channel is a necessity. Etoys did not really spend huge amounts on a comparison basis to try and deliver their product. In addition, toys are a good on-line product mix. Now the issue is what will Toys R Us do this fall when Amazon is lacking inventory for the fall selling season for their own lines of goods? Looking at what has transpired in hindsight, the KP group had enough connections to put the good firms out of business. I am not saying Etoys would have been profitable or a huge success but there was a possibility of continued existance. Competing with Amazon's cash war chest raised mostly in the Caymens (that is a scary thought on its own) and Toys R Us was too much for about a $200 million funded firm.
