Now, how does this not compete with amzn? "It's too early to say whether the model will work, but Buy.com is furthest along in implementing the plan. The company's slogan, "the lowest prices on earth," is attracting customers. Buy.com launched its Website in November 1997. At first it sold only computers, but now it offers software, books, videos, and electronic games, with CDs and other products soon to come. In 1998, Buy.com had about $125 million in revenues, and Barbieri expects to do three to five times that in 1999. With those kinds of sales, Buy.com is off to one of the fastest starts of any U.S. company. "
