Though to be honest, I don't think Jet is the next Amazon.
- sixQuarks 11y agoNo, I remember Amazon well in its early days and it was nothing like Jet. Kozmo is a better comparison
- TillE 11y agoAmazon was a pretty successful bookstore, and then they acquired CDNow and became a pretty successful music shop as well. They weren't selling things for crazy low prices, they were just convenient and had a huge catalog. By the time they moved to selling everything, it seemed like a stable business.

They weren't selling things for crazy low prices Yes, they were. They built their customer base from day one on extremely deep discounts; that was always their big selling point.
