One chart comparison: http://www.businessinsider.com/amazo...e-chart-2015-7

Things that stand out:
Amazon 20% growth in 2014 versus Walmart's 1.9%
Amazon 250 million products versus Walmart's 4.2 million
Amazon adds 75,000 new items every day
Amazon 244 million active users versus Walmart's 100 million customers per week

And NO rip off sales tax for me when buying from Amazon!

I pay sales tax at amazon now, but not if I go through
one of their Marketplace sellers, so there is still a
dodge if I can find the item I want that way.

But the biggest difference between amazon and WalMart
(which I do NOT shop at...ever!) is that there is a
wider range of of *quality* items rather than the
one-junk-fits-all mentality of WalMart's line of merchandise.

If I want a high-end stereo, for example, I'd be able to
find those components at amazon while WalMart only offers
the lower end of the spectrum and often "specially made
for WalMart" items that are even of poorer quality (and
cheaper to make) than the normal low-end stuff from that
manufacturer.

Nyssa, who knows that she wouldn't find Bose or Louis
Vuiton items at WalMart

Good points all Nyssa. Another advantage of Amazon are the customer reviews. Learning from other consumer experiences with a particular item before making a purchase is great. Has saved me a lot of headaches by dissuading me from making purchases and nudged me to go ahead with purchases in others. A very useful feature.

If you ever go into a Walmart note how many checkout lanes are closed (usually about 8 out of 10) and then stand in line at one of the open lanes for at least 10 minutes to pay. Or you can avoid this and do the self checkout routine. Evidently the Walmart family can't afford to pay for employees.

"The six Waltons on Forbes' list of wealthiest Americans have a net worth of $144.7 billion. This fiscal year three Waltons--Rob, Jim, and Alice (and the various entities that they control)--will receive an estimated $3.1 billion in Walmart dividends from their majority stake in the company".

Amazon is actually selling high end stereos ?

This would be my next question - how did Bose become "high end'?

Bose radios use cardboard tubes that snake around inside to create that ''high end''sound. You can look at them online. My radios (albeit not ''high end'') don't use no steenkin cardboard tubes. www.pricewheeler.com has, or used to have some links to Hign End stereo stuff. There are probaly a bunch of online sites about High End equipment. Did you know the drive shafts on cars and trucks have cardboard in them?

I peddle my bike over to the grocery store at least 3 times per week to buy fresh bread and produce when the local farmer markets are not active. Much rather spend my money with the local farmers the chain grocers.

All I know about Bose is I can't afford the high prices their products fetch.
