(4,741 posts)"..the Designated Major Online Retailers are: Amazon.com, Apple.com, Bhphotovideo.com, Buy.com, CircuitCity.com, CompUSA.com, Crutchfield.com, Dell.com, hhgregg.com, HP.com, HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com, Newegg.com, OfficeDepot.com, OfficeMax.com, Sears.com, Staples.com, Target.com, TigerDirect.com, and Walmart.com."
Matching B&H is silly, they're rarely the cheapest just the best - but if they're going toe to toe with Newegg and Tiger Direct this could turn out to be quite useful.
Then again, most of the time I'm willing to wait the three days Newegg free shipping takes (they get stuff out the door so fast it makes my head spin) in exchange for not having to get up off my lazy ass...and when I do want something RIGHT NOW, usually photo gear, I can oftentimes get it cheapest at a local store - like a new D5100 camera body for $440 cash out the door at 42nd Street Photo. Sure, BB would have price matched but it would have been more of a hassle than the ~5 minutes it took plus, well, why pay the same price for a chain when I can support small business?
