bizarre ? i don't think so...i once had a boss who said :

if you sell stuff for a buck and it costs you a buck ten, you better stop for awhile and think things over...

i'll be less hard on him when he earns per share even what ebay earns, and gosh golly, that ain't much either !!

t looks as if most anti-amazon comments are linked to Bezos' pay. Amazon has built a 1.75 billion dollar retailer in a few
