They can't match the price, or just don't want to?
You would think that, if they are still making a profit, they'd jump at the opportunity to make the sale and keep a satisfied customer very satisfied.
At the same time, if it is a high-demand item, and they know they are likely to sell it next week at their asking price, I can understand them not wanting to sell it to you at the lower price.
If it's a slow selling item and it sits in their store for another year, they're foolish to not sell it to you at the lower price now.
Personally, I don't get too "sentimental" about business. If I want something custom with lots of customer service during the sale, I wouldn't mind paying extra, but if I'm buying a mass-produced item without any extra "customer service" items needed during the transaction, I would just buy from whoever can sell the item to me cheapest.
