Hi REW, I really appreciate all the hard work you have done on this thread. You have done a great job in summing up what TSIG has been doing over the past months. Thanks. As for Amazon, I don't see how they will survive in the long term, though I am usually wrong when making such judgments. Still they are clearly building a dominant position in the present. >> Amazon pays $26 for a customer. Probably will decrease as volume builds, but even if it doesn't, even if Amazon crashes and burns as I suspect they will, why should they be afraid of spending just one or two more little dollars if they think it will wipe out a low-cost seller like TSIG? At least for the next few years, Amazon is THE force to be reckoned with. >> What does it cost TSIG.com to get a customer? NOTHING!!! Hopefully, some day, that will be true. How much did it cost to print the cards given away at the Tampa Bay Lightning Game? (Did the team pay TSIG for all cards given away, regardless of whether spectators used them? Were the cards even given away at all, as with usual sports promotions, or were they put on sale at the gate? If so, did ANYONE buy a card?) How much has TSIG spent on "hand-holding" and promotional pamphlets with the NMF, Babe Ruth, Lifetime Learning? As cards get sold in volume, the expenses should be insignificant (sounds like Amazon's argument, just on a different scale!), but we haven't seen any numbers yet. I'm just wondering... >>As long as the prior reasons are maintained, until the Card purchase allocations are used up--in the case of the My MusicCard, 20 CDs. What then? THEY BUY ANOTHER CARD. Cost of obtaining that customer--STILL NOTHING. Why do you assume they will automatically buy another card? Why won't they try another site, just to compare? I surely would. If you believe that they will automatically buy another card, you must believe that a happy purchaser of a cd on Amazon's site, or anywhere else, will automatically continue to buy there as well. If the argument doesn't work for Amazon retaining cd buyers, why should it work for TSIG retaining card buyers? Thanks again for all your contributions. Time for this workaholic to go back into lurk mode! Joe
