Amazon adds 75,000 new items every day
Amazon 244 million active users versus Walmart's 100
million customers per week

And NO rip off sales tax for me when buying from Amazon!


I pay sales tax at amazon now, but not if I go through
one of their Marketplace sellers, so there is still a
dodge if I can find the item I want that way.

But the biggest difference between amazon and WalMart
(which I do NOT shop at...ever!) is that there is a
wider range of of *quality* items rather than the
one-junk-fits-all mentality of WalMart's line of merchandise.

If I want a high-end stereo, for example, I'd be able to
find those components at amazon while WalMart only offers
the lower end of the spectrum and often "specially made
for WalMart" items that are even of poorer quality (and
cheaper to make) than the normal low-end stuff from that
manufacturer.

Nyssa, who knows that she wouldn't find Bose or Louis
Vuiton items at WalMart

Amazon is actually selling high end stereos ?


Bose is anything but high end.

This would be my next question - how did Bose become "high end'?

Bose radios use cardboard tubes that snake around inside to create that ''high end''sound. You can look at them online. My radios (albeit not ''high end'') don't use no steenkin cardboard tubes. www.pricewheeler.com has, or used to have some links to Hign End stereo stuff. There are probaly a bunch of online sites about High End equipment. Did you know the drive shafts on cars and trucks have cardboard in them?

All I know about Bose is I can't afford the high prices their products fetch.

Over rated and over priced, but it is the best thing they ever made. SO
many better choices for less $$$$.

Any speaker you put inside a wood enclosure will sound better.


No, I had some really mice looking Sony 3-ways that were awful sounding.
Even for the back surrounds, they had to go.
