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.


Maybe you didn't read the other post? I specifically said they
couldn't be faulted for not seeing the future - but that the
result they got (as did many similar companies) is a predictable
result of not seeing the future.
