Sharper Image had a bad business model from the start: mail-order catalog with trumped-up prices, attempting to capitalize on the average uncritical person's presumption that anything offered in a mail order catalog had to be priced competitively. Their transition to the Web was a natural move, with the existence of online businesses like Amazon and Newegg creating the same uncritical presumption in many Web surfers' minds.
So you're telling me people finally caught on? Took 'em long enough, though... a few Sharper Image corporate execs got pretty rich in the interim, I'll wager.
