Amazon, though, will be changing its business strategy. Then there are the niche players. If someone already has a catalog business, then the Web is, in a way, a cheap catalog. One is luggage and liquidation. Luggage is a horrible thing to sell in a store.
Luggage costs a lot to have on the floor and in the back of the store.
Retailing luggage has never been a good business, but it can be on the Net. Say you have 127 DVD players. Best Buy doesn't want those. It's not worth the real estate in the printed page. There isn't any good way to sell them out of one store.
