Skeets, Yes, but BMG and Columbia House have very limited catalogues. And their shipping and handling fees more than make up for their nominally low prices. I don't know about Amazon's shipping and handling. I buy from Columbia when they have something I want.

Skeeter, imo the big thing with amzn is the fact that they're paying 15% to sites that bring them a sale. This totally destroys the possibility of profitability for the sale. I don't know how follow-up sales work, but in a low margin biz its ridiculous.
