Amazon Seeks Divorce, $750M from Toys R Us

Posted by michael on from the geoffrey-has-a-dark-side dept.

theodp writes "Responding to a Toys R Us lawsuit accusing Amazon of breaching exclusivity provisions of its $50M-a- year tenancy agreement, Amazon has countersued the giant toy retailer, asking the Court to terminate its Toysrus.com partnership and award it damages of more than $750M, arguing that Toysrus.com's failure to effectively choose top toys and baby products and to keep products in stock leaves Amazon with no other choice but to enable more sellers to sell these products."

  1. No fun being on a sinking ship by erick99 · · Score: 5, Informative
    Toys R Us is a company that is failing against it's competition, particularly WalMart, and Amazon knows it. Amazon doesn't want to be on a sinking ship so they break/bend the rules and then, when Toys R Us crys "foul," Amazon says, well, uh, "they suck at choosing toys and we have lawyers too...so there." Stupidity versus greed. Good old fashioned contest with no real winners.

    Happy Trails!
