Grabbing Market Share... Jake: I'd look for Walmart to cut its prices for internet purchases... Amazon and E-Toys don't have the deep pockets to get caught up in a price war... Right now Amazon loses money on each sale... I don't think they can afford to lose more... E-Toys will be tougher to beat but Walmart's huge buying power should allow it to undercut the competition's prices... Then all Walmart has to do is have excellent fulfillment and customer service... They are good at that.... : > Jim
