If this guy's for real, it's interesting. From TMF Subject: I just don't get it.. Number: of 4054 Author: jon37 no profile \| no interview Date: 7/10/98 7:30 AM (ET) I just don't get why you guys seem to love this stock. Do you understand that even with all their 'oodles' of money, they have very few books in stock in their own warehouse? In the book biz we're just amazed at how many people think they actually 'have' all those books on hand. The company I work for sells books to Amazon, and we just cut them off until they pay their back invoices. I'm sure they have the money, but for some reason their bills are just not getting paid. If one of the big boys (B+T or Ingram) cuts them off, then you will see a rapid, violent interupption in their ability to ship- and loss of customer goodwill. We actually see an increase in bussiness when people coime into the store with an amazon printout in hand asking for that book. We order them same as Amazon, and get them just as fast with a comperable discount. And no shipping.
