10. The same way they won, underprice them.
Their success was based on that one principle, checking out the competition's prices and beating it. That was their niche, along with being located in the "country".

Ebay's got a niche, a piece of a market. Create a niche or hang on to a current one. Wal-mart is now just like any other big store with workers who act like the customer is crap. They've become who they beat in the past.

A local hardware store in Manassas, VA is an old 1950's type of store with everything in a small building and people who can help the customer. They're doing really good business because they've got a niche and won't let go.

Wal-mart is huge and powerful, only huge and powerful thinking will beat them. That, and their own illegal employees and faulty globalistic thinking. Of course, I avoid/boycott the place too, they contribute heavily to the GOP.
