It occurs to me that, as a successful "classic" retailer, it would be/would have been appropriate for you to diversify by investing in cyber-retailers. Eugene, I believe and still believe that certain items will not sell well via the net. Jewelry is one of them even though that is contrary to the comments made in The National Jeweler. In addition, have you considered an on-line store yourself? Yes but only for show and tell not to sell from the site. How they have done this, sent goods out for years without an incident, is amazing to me, but perhaps it would make sense to you. I have sent many items to people I have met on SI and never have I had a problem with either the person buying the item and paying me or returning the item. Typically, I send a selection. I am not advertising to sell here. These came from requests from people on threads. I find the people on SI pay better than some locals who have charge accounts with my store. Glenn
