Sears may be the 23rd largest retailer in the United States, but I think Amazon is going to buy them out.
Sears is a done deal!  They closed so many stores already.
I think department stoes in general are a done deal. You can buy all your appliance, toys, cosmetics and houseware online. I just imagine that Sears would be a good buy for Amazon as a more distributed micro-warehousing opportunity.
Exactly.  Toys R Us shut down for good this week too. So sad.
Amazon and Jeff Bezos have exposed the weakness of national stores compared to the efficience of e-commerce. I shed no tears and have no nostalgia for the dionsaurs.
But Toys R Us is a landmark of my childhood...  I loved going in the store and hoping mom was gonna let me pick a toy!
Yeah... but don't get too nostalgic about anything else. Ever since Bezos founded Amazon.com in 1994, he has been the primary horsman of the apocalypse for old business.
He has done an amazing job I agree.  They just bought the future of medicine too.  With on-line doctors and mail-order prescriptions coming soon.
