Wow. That is something, certainly not a desirable model. I would be concerned if EGGS did the same thing, but I would be surprised if it did. For one thing they have a more diverse product line and certain other benefits that make it worth paying a little more than wholesale to buy from them. They also have a better brand, etc. And hey, they got that nice relation with @Home. ;-) Thanks for the info. Anaxagoras

FWIW, ONSL's CEO is going to be on Squawk Box tomorrow. It was also downgraded to Outperform by Wheat First Union. A very interesting remark I came across in ONSL's press release regarding the new business model. Hey, forget about AMZN as a comp, is it time to look at EGRP? <<Onsale atCost is a logical evolution of e-commerce, where the efficiency of the Internet and the low incremental cost to process an order can be passed on to customers. Charging a fixed transaction fee instead of a markup on the products is a significant departure from traditional retailing. This shift is reminiscent of the changes online brokerage firms brought to the securities industry with low- and fixed-price charges per transaction.>> Anaxagoras
