Like your buddy Blogett said "Most of them won't survive". My buddy?? LOL. Yeah right! I still do not believe any pure plays will survive. I am referring specifically to B2C. My new venture into on-line selling has opened my eyes further to the problems of being a pure play retailer. I can make my on-line site profitable but only if I have and maintain a traditional store. In this way, may employees serve purposes for both units. It actually is efficient but it would not be if I had to maintain security, inventory, staffing, etc. only for on-line sales. On-line selling has lower profit margins. See Amazon, CDnow, 1800flowers, etc. etc.
