Or.... they just value different things other than rock bottom pricing.
I bought my 46 inch TV on sale at Best Buy because of the 30 day return policy in case I didn't like the way it worked with my system. I'm not paying for return shipping or restocking fees on a hundred pound box just to save 150 bucks online.
Small items online? Sure. Large heavy items? Its just not worth it to me.

Well, I can see your point except I saved much more than $150. I was found the same tv BB had listed at $2200 for $1600. I'd forgo a little bit of convenience (which I didn't have to do anyways...free in home delivery) for that much price savings.

Just because you have money, doesn't mean you know how to spend it well...case in point, I suppose.
