 PROFILE
Finding that online retailing is more than child's play, eToys has declared "game over." Created in 1996 by former Disney executive Toby Lenk and idealab! founder Bill Gross, eToys sold children's toys, as well as music, hobby items, videos, and software. Products ranged from well-known toys (Barbie) to obscure specialty items. Its cyberstore offered database search capabilities (for type of toy, age, price) and delivery services. eToys cut its workforce and closed its UK operations after being hit hard by sluggish sales. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2001 and closed its Web site later that month. It has begun liquidating its assets.
