An online toy retailer is lured to Wall Street Description: Ever since Amazon.com rewrote IPO history, more Internet retailers have been going public. The latest: eToys Inc., a Santa Monica, Calif., Internet toy merchant. On Feb. 17 eToys joined the ranks of electronic commerce companies issuing public offerings. The company hasnt determined how many shares it will offer or at what price, although current owners of the company hold 13 million shares and the company is authorized to issue up to 200 million. The company anticipates raising $115 million for general working capital. Goldman Sachs; BancBoston Robertson Stephens; Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette; and Merrill Lynch are the underwriters. The company will trade on the Nasdaq exchange. The retailer, which opened its Web store in October 1997, sells more than 3,000 items from over 290 toy manufacturers. The companys fiscal year ends March 31. For the nine months ending Dec. 31, 1998, eToys had sales of $23.9 million.

An update on the other Internet Retailer Description: A little more than two years ago, I drew your attention in this column to our recently redesigned and upgraded web siteinternetretailer.comthe online extension of our magazine. In addition to a more attractive and navigable design, the makeover involved putting the site on faster servers, vastly increasing its editorial content and adding a highly efficient search function. Furthermore, we committed ourselves to steadily enhancing the editorial content going forward, and we have lived up to that commitment. Two years ago, the site had an archive of just 1,500 articles relating to e-commerce in retailing; today that number exceeds 9,100. We also added an on-line buyers guide that contains listings of more than 600 industry vendors.
