>Kiss Amazon good bye! They’ll be Chapter 11 by next year.<
They have until Sept of 2012 in CA, and after that I’ll be shopping on Overstock. At least they still keep fighting unlike Amazon. Eventually, one person can start his own Amazon and do it offshore..
I doubt that the offshore model would work for physical products. If their warehouse is offshore, there would be some import duty and if they kept their warehouse stateside, they would still apply the state tax. However electronic books movies and music could potentially evade some of these taxes through encrypted transactions. Let’s set up shop next to the offshore medical clinic.
Meanwhile, buy you stuff at garage sales while you can.
