I just did a price comparison between Fragrancecounter.com(ALU) and Perfumania.com(PRFM) on two popular scents my wife and I like. Obsession for Men by Calvin Klein and Chanel No. 5. Below are the results. ..........................ALU.....PRFM....Difference...%Difference Obsession..........$45.00..$42.99....$2.01.........4.5% Chanel No.5.......$88.00..$79.99....$8.01.........9.1% To me it is a no-brainer if my objective is to save money, which is why most people shop on the Internet. The key is visibility. PRFM has to become more visible to more people, and they will shop there. It is just a matter of time given their current marketing efforts. One thing. PRFM apparently does not charge shipping. I do not know what the shipping charges for ALU are, but if they do charge, that should be considered into the savings as well. I hope this helps. C.J.

melinda, just 1 more thought before i shut down. if PRFM beats ALU with the IPO who gets the most publicity? the 2nd guy will get "yaya been there done that" from the press. PRFM has MSFT and alta vista as strategic internet partners. i suspect they would both love to have a piece of PRFM.com IPO. they have all of the internet expertise that explains how this was done so well. MSFT and alta vista guarantee internet success for PRFM. unclewest
