You're right, but there is nothing to stop the smaller shops from also competing on the Internet as well. I know of one hobby store in my area whose walk-in retail sales might not keep it in business in this day and age, but the owners were willing to take the time to learn the on-line systems and now do a brisk internet business that keeps them busy, provides a good income and keeps the doors open.
