I think the only E-tailers that will survive will be the extreme specialty shops. For instance, let's say that you are in the market to buy a live black spitting cobra and want to shop prices. Where else can you do that but on-line (yes, believe it or not, there are several on-line purveyors of black spitting cobras)? For stuff like books and records, I think it is a dud.

<< The next phase3 will be the need for the consumer to spend more not less to shop on-line. There are not enough people willing to do that. The next phase will be the total removal of all pure play on-line stores. Ebay is not a store. >> I agree Glenn. I will make a prediction- we will see a few pure plays try the "membership" thing- buy a 30 dollar membership for a yr and shop all you want, lowest prices gauranteed, yada, yada. But it will be far too little too late. Victor ps, on a practical level, I hate to see all the dotcoms go. it sure is convenient. I sure hope the combo click and mortars stay around.
