You're wrong.

I'm not dealing with Harvey Norman, even though, I have bought from them in the past, and they have price-matched Internet prices for me.

So, if you were not going to buy a big ticket item from a retailer such as Harvey Norman, who are you going to buy from?

Retailers have purchasing contracts with big vendors which usually are of a six month duration. The price of consumer electronics is set to rise as the current batch of goods that is being sold is being sold on the basis of having been purchased by the retailers prior to the economic crisis.

This same retailer has price matched the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, and even dropped a further $200 off the cost, as compared to a popular grey importer.

So, yes, I'm sure he has his own vested interests in this sale and isn't looking out for me, as you've suggested.

Regards,
Humayun
