I remember the same talk on here about Dell. They sunk fast and Apple took their spot.

I just saw a Fingerhut commercial on TV today.

Not the same company but a company that bought the license to the name. I just saw an Eastern Airlines 737 today. They have been gone for decades. It's somebody that bought the name.

Just like someone just bought the Commodore name and is going to sell Commodore phones

You can have an Amazon account and not be a Prime member. There is no cost to create a regular account. I have had an account since 2006.

 

[wayfair]

I never mentioned Prime membership since it wasn't offered then. Just stating I don't see it sinking anytime soon.

Yet they still can't make money a decade later.

In the past, was there any one company that regularly accounted for 30+% of a center's volume? The way Amazon does now?

No but they don't lose money either, and they continue to grow every quarter year over year. They are getting people hooked on point and click and boom it's delivered to your doorstep.

And two days later jam the package into a letter box to return it. You don't know how many times I feel like throwing those amazon returns into the nearest dumpster.

Delivering a computer back in the day required a hand cart. Now it fits under your arm.

I still have my gaming computer I bought from Gateway when they used to have the country stores.

I was the envy of the LAN parties when I brought that beast out. That thing would CRUSH Doom 3 on frame rates lol
