I walk into Best Buy thinking I can get a price match on a digital camera because they advertise price matching. They say sorry, "this is the Best Buy exclusive version of that very popular camera, we can't price match it. You see it comes with a special lanyard in the box." So I'm in a position where I've driven to Best Buy, and either have to pay their price or go home and order on Amazon. So maybe I pay their higher-than-Amazon price.

The price match was deceitful, they obtained money from it. Sounds like a swindle to me.

Easily avoided if you compared model numbers from the 2 web sites before getting in the car. Besides, your issue is with the camera mfg for making not-quite-identical models.

More easily avoided by just ordering on Amazon to begin with, after trying it out at Best Buy if I feel like it.
