My Anecdotal experience:
I need a new iPod cable and as I was at my local shopping center, I decided to check at Circuit City. I expected the price to be ~$10.00 but the prices was $24.99
I checked with amazon when I got home. I was able to buy a 3 pack, regular cable, car charger cable and 110v outlet cable for $8.00 including shipping.
It's not a mystery why retailers are suffering when you see price gouging like that.
