Amazon Price Check app draws protests from some retailers

So what could Best Buy have done for you that this salesman couldn't? He apparently gave you good advice, and you had a chance to touch and feel the product.

I will admit that $20 out of $100 is not an insignificant discount...but how much less of a mark-up would Best Buy have to have so that you would purchase its product?

Best Buy simply would have had to match Amazon in order for me to buy it in their store.

Because I didn't need the backpack immediately, I'd rather save $20. The backpack was $80 at Best Buy and $60 on Amazon, so it was a pretty good saving.

I will pay $5-$10 more for something immediately at a B&M store vs waiting for Amazon, but no more.
