Wow... I'm not sure what to say.
I'm glad to see that nobody in this forum has stooped to mud slinging of any sort.
Part of any business is trying to get as many customers as you can while maintaining a good profit margin. There are lots of different ways to do this from largest selection to fastest service to best price to the sexiest sales people (don't laugh, it works). Unfortunately, there are only so many customers out there willing to part with a limited amount of cash.
Pointing fingers and name calling only makes the name caller look bad. If you don't run a business that can stand on it's own then there's no need to blame someone else for your demise.
About the only business practice that really bugs me is when a company with deep pockets sells the same stock as a competitor at prices below wholesale prices until they go out of business. That's what the anti-monopoly laws are about and it's why I particularly don't like Microsoft (I'm not going to get into that here).
As long as people are running their business in a sustainable manner then whatever gimicks are chosen to increase sales are welcome experiments.
I'm going to stick with Import-Anime because I don't have to deal with ordering things from the US and I happen to think JJ is an alright kind of guy.
Not to mention I'm one of the site administrators.
