I don't think there is anywhere else for electronics, and after the hassle of the circuit city's of the world its a relief to have amzn there. Electronics is just a case of amazon trying something and having it stick. The analysts don't like that approach but how else do you know? I thought toys would be bigger than electronics for amzn but there appears to be more competition for that space. I LOVE the amzn wish lists too - HEY, if anybody wants to buy me something my wish list is there on Amazon LOL! You can look up anybody and if they are there, send something to them... amazon knows their address and you never see it. This would work great for flowers, secret admirer kind of stuff...

Randy, >>The other question I have is where else on the web would one go to buy a VCR? I know there are a thousand possible places, but which one would you expect to have very good service and competitive prices? I just don't know of any which stand out as superior to Amazon. I was surprised that Amazon appears to have decent prices. Shipping was $9.00, which is certainly not a gouging price either.<< I just a portable DVD player from costco's online website. While shopping on the web, I compared prices and Amazon was charging $999 for the player with the cheapest being $739(I used Yahoo shopping and another shopping bot to compare prices). I went with Costco at $799 because of their liberal return policy - just take it to the local store, no questions asked - no shipping required. I checked a few other items at Amazon and others and found Amazon to usually have a higher, if not the highest, price. Jerry
