LetsBuyIt Gets Enough of It to Keep Going

PROFILE |
 |
Boxman.com has played its farewell tune. Founded in 1997, the company was once Europe's #1 e-tailer of home entertainment products such as CDs, DVDs, videos, and computer games. Boxman.com rapidly built a pan-European presence in nine countries with 98% of its sales coming through the Internet. However, the company soon ran short of cash. Despite fundraising efforts, Boxman.com suspended operations in fall 2000 and liquidated its assets in December 2000. Major backers included GE Capital and Bernard Arnault, head of luxury goods firm LVMH.
