Man I can't believe they only do $2B in revenue a year. I guess my opinion is biased because I am a dork who buys electronics off of there with some regularity.

I mean it is, but I thought they did more than that. No particular reason, just my perception.

I honestly have no idea, but I could believe it.

Their prospectus says they're the "Second largest online-only retailer in the United States" by net sales (not just electronics)... I'm guessing behind Amazon.

I thought I remember hearing that Amazon was buying Newegg, or did I just make that up?

I would guess so. I guess ebay doesn't fit that description.

Haha, seriously. Dollar General is another good one to short after the IPO.

Although I will say that these dollar stores have killed it so far during this recession, which probably wouldn't surprise most, but the debt/KKR issues shouldn't be overlooked.

I'm guessing this is true with any IPO that has a namebrand.
