There is value in having a local shop front where you can go and inspect the wares first hand. This costs money and the time they spend talking to you about your needs or the product costs money.
I think its pretty rude to waste 30 minutes of a shop keepers time discussing a product and then whipping out "vendor B has the same item for $x less, will you match?"
Im not suggesting that anyone here does that, but its just something to keep in mind.
If you know exactly what you want and arent wasting anyones time then by all means shop around for best price.
