>>I see now they are opening stores throughout the country It may be a mistake. Just because companies do things don't mean they're the right things to do. >>I also wonder whether it is easier for a companies such as Barnes & Noble or Toys "R" Us, who have been selling their product retail for many years, to open up a website selling books or toys or if it's easier for companies like eToys or Amazon who have been selling books or toys online for a little while to open up retail stores. The assumption is that selling online is Right and selling retail is Wrong. I think you're right, however, that the existing retailers hold the cards -- what web name are you going to think of first to buy toys online? Etoys or toysrus? Especially if you're a neophyte web user -- you'll go with what's familiar. Furthermore, Toysrus could offer satisfaction guarantees -- if you don't like it, bring it back to a local retailer. Beats mailing the damn toy back to etoys. The marketplace will sort all this out for us. I for one find it mighty interesting.
