Amazon expands again
from the Amazon-takes-over-the-world dept
Dan Miller writes "So, Amazon once again expands into new markets. For the first time, they are not the price leader in a given market with their entry into electronics. Their price for the Palm V is $399, over $50 more than Buy.com. The question becomes will Amazon's convenient shopping experience and superior customer service encourage consumers to spend more, to get better service? My opinion: No, at first. But, as the ecommerce world shakes out, this crazy price game that is taking place will go away and companies like Amazon and Wal-Mart will stand out and win the game."Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
