[QUOTE="Ivan Seeking, post: 6842864, member: 689"] I don't remember exactly when I first got online but it was certainly by the mid 90s. In fact, I tried to start a company very much like Amazon, at about the same time Bezos started Amazon. I called it Factory Indirect. I made deals with local retail outlets to sell their products online. Because they didn't have to carry this inventory it could be sold much cheaper. We could drop ship directly from the factory. And it wouldn't interfere with their local foot traffic. The odds were that no one local would even see it online. They thought it was great and agreed to try it. But I was living in a rural area and could not get a solid internet connection to save my soul. Also, the internet was very young and people weren't really shopping online much. After months of frustration, I finally gave it up. Whoops! [/QUOTE]
