I actively avoid Amazon. It ends up taking a bunch of leg work but prices are consistent for me between Amazon, best buy, target, ebay, and b&h photo. They might have an advantage of home depot/Lowes but those items tend to be something I’d like to touch and feel first. But I understand I’m in a metro area so I have many stores around and that I’m still not supporting the higher prices of indie shops. I can’t do everything
