They missed the boat a long time ago. Sers had a thriving catalog

before Amazon started up.

Hah, I just posted a long post saying the same thing before
reading this one. You're quite correct in that thought.

Not to disparage you guys, but you are basically saying Sears should have been able to predict the future. Everything would be better if we could all do that. Sears did not predict the future so they did not use their catalog business to become the major retail seller of the future. If that is the logic you are using then we are all idiots because we did not invent Apple before Jobs and Wozniak did in 1976. Why didn't you know computers and mobile phones and online was the future? Are you stupid? Who sitting here today knew that buying stuff from home using a computer was the future? Shopping in stores was out?

I think you hit the nail on the head.
