I'm incredibly selfish and support myself mostly in such hard economic times.
I find myself shopping more and more on the internet, and pitting internet site against internet site to find the bargain basement price on how cheap it will be to get an item to my door (cheap shipping people!)
I had some electronics gear for a project to order a few weeks ago... I could have payed $14 plus small shipping for the boards at at well known, older website that has a great community around it and great support (think Pelican for electronics doodlers) or I could buy the same part for $7 shipped off ebay. I got the ebay part, even though it took 2 weeks to get here and came from Hong Kong. It was worth the $7+ savings over the traditional store....
