Many of the best-known and biggest internet retailers are headed for bankruptcy. Amazon is not alone. There are a lot of products that we don't sell because we can't sell them profitably. There is no locational advantage on the internet. But the internet is different.
All web sites are equally easy to get to.
Internet retailers must meet their competitor's prices if they are to make sales, even if those prices are too low to make a profit. We don't want to charge our customers more than our competitors. So, if other internet retailers are willing to sell certain products at a price that is less than their cost, that is business that we are happy to let them have. We are not going to fight for unprofitable business.
