Thanks, JF3. I wonder what Amazon's take is on the $124M in sales, and what their gross margin works out to. Others probably know better, but could Amazon take 3-5% of the sales as their fee? Too high, or too low? Randy, I do not know the percentage. I do not have a clue. I supect Amazon does not know their net margins on this. I know you satated gross but I suspect there is a alot of difficulty in assigning expense to fulfillment of a toy compared to something else in the wharehouse. The same goes for the on-line bandwidth, customer service questions and the placement of the product with descriptions on-line. My guess is the same people handle these projects that handle other Amazon products.
