Another One Bites The Dust: Toytime.com Shuts Down
|
Tough times for toy e-tailers continue. Toytime.com, along with Babytime.com, have shut their virtual doors. As recently as last Thanksgiving (granted, that's practically an eternity in the online world) Toytime was ranked in the top 5 toy sites. A message posted on the site states: "ToyTime.com and BabyTime.com are currently not taking orders.Please check back frequently for updates. We will fulfill customer orders for in-stock items placed through midnight, June 5th." "ToyTime.com and BabyTime.com would like to thank our customers for your support and patronage. We could have never done it without you. We wish you and your loved ones the very best." Additionally, parties interested in buying the company's assets are encouraged to contact the company. Toytime is just the latest, and certainly not the last, of the toy e-tailers feeling the sting as the online market place continues to shake itself out. The impact is not limited to online toy sellers, but is being felt across the board. [Posted 6/07/2000]
