i don't believe you... is this "profit" ex some big time expense? probably. Skeeter, How could you not believe him? I mean a company with the fulfillment expenses not being a part of the cost of goods sold. A few brief questions that come to mind about a firm that has lost $2 billion since inception. 1. How much of the "promotional expenses" are fulfillment costs? 2. How much of the fulfillent costs are fixed? 3. How much administrative costs are being attributed to books, music and video since that is their largest volume seller? I doubt I should go on LOL.
