But would you apply that to buying a used car? or an item off ebay vs a store? Its the same product, but people have applied different level of service.
The point is if one vendor here offers product A and another offers product A, you can't assume the overall value & experience would be the equivalent. If you see a camera at Adorama for $500 and see the same camera for $480 on ebay, you certainly wouldn`t expect Adorama to lower their price would you?

I would never expect anyone to price-match ebay (although it'd be nice) because you have no idea who is selling it. However, when you have two vendors that are both in excellent standing, one selling for $10 cheaper, I think the other should match the cheaper one if they want a sale. $10 is over an hour of work for me (sadly), so it makes a difference in where I buy.
