This is confusing. Some of you are saying with atCost, Onsale will never touch the inventory, and others are saying they will. If they do NOT touch the inventory, and they charge $10 per unit, then I would think their gross margins would go UP. Yet, the CEO is saying the gross margins will go down. So, is there inventory or not?

So much for Onsale's great "wholesale" prices with atCost. Example: atCost is selling an IBM Thinkpad 770E for $3412.21. onsale.com Microwarehouse is selling an IBM Thinkpad 770E with a DVD drive thrown in for $2199, a price difference of MORE THAN $1200. product.warehouse.com Check out the links. They are the SAME EXACT part number from IBM: 954851U. Microwarehouse ADDS a DVD drive, and charges $1213 LESS than OnSale. If this is what OnSale calls WholeSale, I say NO Sale.
