I like the idea (Zshops). Amzn's brand will aggregate a massive number of businesses, buyers and sellers in a centralized virtual marketplace. The more buyers, and we know Amzn has them, the more sellers will want to be where the buyers are and this can accelerate revenue growth. Mark, I tend to disagree here. Not with your theory about buyers will bring in sellers. Rather, I believe AMZN is no longer gaining active customers. We need to know numbers as to the amount of active customers this year rather than cumulative. In any case, we willl not have those number from AMZN. I have no position but just an interest on how this plays out. I did notice that Officemax did place a few items for sale int he zShop and that surprised me. Thank you lots for your opinion. The market seems to agree with it. Glenn
