Jor and All, This fellow has some ideas that make me stop and listen at times. This is a reprint from 2 of his posts on sort of our goals I think. He is located @ exchange2000.com . I am posting this with his OK. Fli To: +IQBAL LATIF (27622 ) From: +IQBAL LATIF Friday, Jul 16 1999 8:54PM ET Reply # of 27725 I love movies and I buy my DVD's from a store on Champ's Elysee's Archade Lido's, each DVD costs me 270 Frf that is equivalent to nearly 48 $'s. Now today I just ordered from 800.com9 DVD's some of the latest ones and paid a total of 159 $, now the only problem is that so far this service is available within US only so I had to get these DVD's at my brother's house in NY, however the cost and the quality and the variety available was so extensive that I would never ever buy a DVD from here anymore, so if this becomes a trend and within confines of my home I can purchase what I want, that is something quite revolutionary. This internet has got mega potential to start a global mart very soon, and high tax and high price societies will suffer but that is secondary factor the issue is that these big companies with practically no overheads would become major retailers, however with a global audience, the price I have paid today is even cheaper than developing world, Ike may be a late comer to this all but seeingwas believing and ordering was just fun, hope to buy regularly but the stocks in this sector as Abby puts should do good, slow and steady I do see it is not hype, the marts are real and you have high class of service. They called me Mr. Latif all the time.. it was fun all around shopping at 800.com, welcome to new global world of e-commerce Mr Latif..gg To: +IQBAL LATIF (27626 ) From: +IQBAL LATIF Friday, Jul 16 1999 9:02PM ET Reply # of 27725 Within 5 minutes of the order I received this confirmation too..execellent service and more work for me to watch more movies..more....more.. those who think all this e-commerce is myth can imagine what it would be like to receive global goods within days within few years, what is noe restricted to US and Canada will be available all around. Under one estimate nearly 800 million people in the world of 5 billion plus have standard of living approaching OECD countries, so the market these companies would cater in few years would be 4 times present US markets.. by any stretch of imagination this would be a great e-commerce bonanza. May be wake up call for naysayers, however no doubt that before winners we will see a lot more losers and big shake out but leaders will carry the lead..
