I've said this in market.shopping but I think it bears repeating... IMHO,
eToys is going down. Get your bargains, but don't be the guy trying to sit
down when the music stops. I dunno how the UK is for credit card protection,
in the US we have some leverage if merch doesn't come.
At the very end it may be a bit messy. That's my opinion. eToys has said
they are out of cash sometime in March. And I don't think there's going to
be a "white knight" to rescue them. So they're going down.
