Very funny comment you made there! Here is a quote from this week's Barron's: In a nutshell, the Internet, by displaying prices of everything under the sun simultaneously, is proving an unprecedented boon to shoppers and an unprecedented bane to the profit margins of the vendors who supply them. And both boon and bane will grow exponentially as the masses increasingly go online. Put another way, the Internet is shaping up as the great and enduring instrument of profitless prosperity for the diverse commercial hordes feverishly gathering to exploit it. It has introduced a new dimension to competition that promises or threatens, depending on your preference, to tilt the transactional equation heavily in favor of the buyer.
