Card Stores and the Internet

A large number of card stores already have an internet presence. On the side the store owners are buying and selling on E-bay or buying at online auctions. |

The card shop would not offset the cost of having an internet kiosk with the additional business brought in as a result of having it. Simple economics. |

I'm not sure that selling Internet access is profitable for anyone in the U.S. anymore (where there are so many free WiFI spots everywhere you look...contrast this with many parts of the EU, where access is less available in public areas). |

why would you want access for someone to buy something from someone else in your store? Storeowners typically sell stuff for more than ebay or the internet, so you'd be shooting yourself in the foot. |

How about a Law Office, with a Starbucks-like atmosphere in the reception area. You could swipe your credit card and use their computer to access Westlaw right there! No need to actually sit and talk to those busy lawyers! During most of the day they could use big screen TVs to show reruns of Law & Order, Matlock, and even Perry Mason! |

Maybe with the Holidays approaching, card shops should consider making-up gift cards and offering them at Wal-Mart and Giant Eagles? |

what is this obsession with being "unafraid of the competition"? i could be "unafraid" of Mike Tyson, but if i get into the ring with him, he would punch me into the 5th row...what is the importance of being "unafraid"?...pride? |

Despite its seaminess, there is something intriguing about a brothel. Maybe we can all get together and work on it, kind of a Net54 project. |

Can anyone, besides Peter C, tell me the point of this thread? Prior to this thread there really had not been a Peter C sighting for about a week. I concluded he found something to do at his office. Peter when you were much younger (chronologically speaking) you must've loved when the kids taped the "Kick Me" signs to your back. Just a guess. |
