Doing some quick price comparisons between identical items on Amazon's new "gift page" I've found that their electronics items are ALWAYS around 25% above the average net-vendor prices. And you know what this is going to do for the PR guys in a couple weeks: "Margins on the newly launched gift section represent a more profitable segment, since our profit margins are higher." (they'll neglect to break out sales figures, because probably 15 or 20 people will buy a CD player from them and thats about it.. But they can still claim 10000% revenue increase in that segment! (who cares if they didnt exist in that segment last quarter, it's all about headlines baby!) > This is all fabulous news for the bears on this stock, because the > co will simply lose $ at a faster rate than before! This is a fact.
