>>>>>Professor, What about this? Bid.com's sales in the forth quarter were flat with the third quarter. Why? Hard to find a retailer of consumer products that doesn't generate much more sales 4rd. quarter vs. 3th quarter. Even the bad one's do better.
Did they have the right goods for sale? Did they have the system to manage their inventory? Could their fulfillment process keep up and on track? These type of questions are not going to be very popular but make for interesting chatter.<<<<<<

Gonorth,
Do you know for a fact that EVERY retailer generates more during the holidays or is that just a generalized statement to put down Bid.com?
Maybe you should have put alittle more thought into it. Some retailers don't sell products that are in heavy demand for gifts around the holidays. It depends on the retailer and what they sell.
There are many variables and I'm sure your generalized statement did not cover them. I don't claim to have the answer as you do. As Prof.com stated, perhaps more people are out shopping during the holidays than those who use the internet to shop. IMO, that will change in time.
