To All, I just tried Amazon's Zorro Stores. I am not a shotgun shopper, but, things I know about buying all seemed way overpriced to me. At first blush, it looks like Amazon is getting the weak and lame who cannot compete against the real sellers on the net. It may change as the thing boogies along for awhile. However, I don't get the concept. You are losing money hand over fist selling stuff on the net, so you sign up with Amazon to give them a cut of your cash flow? Of course, I guess the idea is that people who use Amazon are too dumb to figure out how to shop the net on their own. Hey, the concept works for Dell and Gateway, so we can't immediately dismiss it. <g>
