I wouldn't count on prices not changing relative to other retailers on this sort of thing--or a particular SKU remaining the best deal.

For the types of things purchased with these buttons, an extra dollar here and there wasn't something I was concerned about. Customers who were price-conscience likely wouldn't be purchasing the name brand items anyway; all the big box stores have "store brands" that serve the same purpose at a much lower price.

I think this is what sets you apart from the customer Amazon was trying to target
