Amazon 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 built their customer base from day one on extremely deep discounts; that was always their big selling point.
