People will generally pay a premium for better service, but in the case of retail, it's usually hard to beat the service of "instant purchase with free two day delivery to my doorstep". I for one, very rarely buy something w/o checking if it's cheaper on Amazon (or some other online retailer) first. It's gotta be a tough market that's for sure.

Ironically though I don't think Amazon often offers the best prices.
On various 'crapware' (cables etc), eBay is cheaper (especially if it is an 'addon' item and you have to pay for shipping).
For larger purchases I've done usually a different online store has similar prices, but a free extended warranty/accessory.
