"I agree. And like most other .coms they're trying to get fee based income they were giving away for free. What I haven't figured out yet is what YHOO can offer me that I can't get from any of its competitors " I know Yahoo's services well because I use many of them. I can't answer the question. I do not know the services offered by MSN except for email and news for example. "Re: Amzn. You've seen me make many posts saying Amzn should try the same. If Costco's loyal shoppers will pay an annual fee to shop there...why wouldn't Amazon's?? " I do not know the answer to this either. I can't figure out why consumers pay a business to shop whether it is Costco, Sam Club, etc. Amazon's own offerings meaning inventory that is theirs over which they control of pricing is very small. That is not true of Costco which does offer almost everything and they do have control over the pricing they offer to their customers. Amazon learned the hard way they did not have the know how to properly inventory a wide variety of products. Now they do inventory books, music and video. Most of the electronics is owned by Circuit City. The Toys are from Toys R Us and I have not really studied what Target promotes there. I believe you can buy almost anything at Costco or Sam's Club.
