OSTK doesn't sell enough merchandise to be profitable in their current business model...frankly, i wonder if they ever could, as they would have to well more than double sales to even come close to breaking even other retailers have huge economies of scale to overcome their fixed costs, or they have niches they can exploit to achieve higher margins...a few even have both...OSTK has neither, and is unlikely to ever achieve either OSTK excels at three things: diluting their stock, losing more and more money, and providing entertainment as they battle the "sith lords" with all the excellent retailers out there that can be invested in, i can't see where OSTK has much appeal JMHO of course
