Yes, it's amazing what you can accomplish when you sell items at a loss.....

HDL,

Enough rediculousness. Amazon has not done one thing with an success. Also, etous was far better run and was killing Amazon. Amazon needed Toys R Us help just to compete. Amazon did not know how to inventory toys.

There already have been a variety of stories about how Amaozn has done great damage to the economy. These stories are accurate. Amazon wasted money to sell produts at a loss which was a total waste of resources. In the process, they put smaller book stores and other related busineses out of business. This was a loss of job not only for the store owners but their employees too. The amount of total economic damage Amazon has caused is extremely large.
