    Buy.com going the way of Etoys?

    looks like the x-mas season of 2000 might be remembered for the last one that offered real steals. another etailer looks to be hitting the ropes with serious layoffs. less competition means higher prices. will the days of free shipping, scandalous coupons, PMing be a thing of the past? light...
