I am calling it early. Buy.com will be dead by 2014. You heard it here first, folks.
Here are my two facts that lead to this conclusion.
1. Their answer to their crappy sales? Start charging their marketplace vendors quarterly subscription fees in addition to their sales commissions. Not fix their crappy sales --- charge their vendors to compensate for their crappy sales. Um...pass.
but 10x more importantly than that, they are
2. Dropping the Buy.com name and address. What could they have gone to that is more significant, impactful, and screams retail more than the domain name Buy.com, you ask?
Rakuten.com.
Ahahahahahaha.
a$$ clowns. Probably MBA's. 2014. Write it in pen. This once high flying company will be in the retail grave yard by 2014.
