scott,

Well, in that case, it brings me to the flip side of the situation, then. These other folks like onsale and buycomp make their money primarily from advertising and have little to no profit. But maybe DELL can be more efficient than them. In that case, let's consider the grand-daddy of E-tail, Amazon, who will perhaps never make a profit. So, if gigabuys.com is a hit that (so it seems to me)

1. Improves the top line
2. Lowers margin
3. Hence impacts bottom line.

Now, DELL probably can take some sort of a hit on the bottom line because of it's efficiency, but is it worth the cost?

-BGR.
