Sears and Amazon – twins born decades apart What do Sears and Amazon have in common? Do you recall the reputation of Sears back several decades? They were notorious for systematically squeezing small and even large business suppliers to reduce prices (and profits) to increase their own profits. My cousin’s business suffered this heavy-handed tactic. Such has become the modus operandi of Amazon. Evidence is mounting with coming holiday shopping. Watch and see. Low prices today to be followed by higher prices to come. These days Sears, having fed off excesses for decades, is dying. In twenty-thirty years, we may see Amazon suffering the same fate.
