< expect sales of, maybe, $2 billion in 2001>
Yes, with the competitors getting 50% of it. AMZN margins might be just in the black, as it must compete against more vertically integrated companies, who also have the cash and distribution centers to operate on lower margins.

That leaves hundreds of millions in accumulated losses, with little hope of getting it back. With luck there might be some refinancing. This company is a long way from proving it is viable!
