Glenn, It also occurs to me that on-line merchants have a shorter selling season than a local merchant because of the potential mail delays. I figure that orders would dry up entirely around the 15th of December. If you wanted to give someone a gift on Xmas day, when would be the latest you would order? You wouldn't pay the next day or 2nd day rate because then it would be as cheap to buy it down the street now. Assuming nobody starts buying Xmas gifts until Thanksgiving Friday, that gives the on-line merchants 3 weeks instead of 5 to sell their goods. amzn reported four times the # of sales as compared to last year...but what are the actual numbers.
