Q & A:
Q: I'm completely lost...what's a Dreamcast (etc.)?
A: You'll want to check out the links in the "Getting Started" section at the very beginning of this post.
Q: Why focus on B&Ms so much?
A: B&M sources are more likely to have existing stock.
A: Online-only retailers typically work straight from a distribution channel, which can dry up faster.
A: Online-only retailers also aren't as likely to slash prices to clear out stock (since there is no "stock") like a B&M.
A: B&Ms will also usually PM with their local B&M competition, so one low price may be good for all!
A: Some online retailers are starting to GOUGE with outrageous shipping prices.
Q: The tags at my local B&M are higher than the prices on the list!
A: Items at some B&Ms are not being marked down either on the item or on the shelf tag.
A: Probably a GOOD idea to find a salesperson (or a scanning station) to actually verify the prices (not a new practice for most ATers tho).

Q & A:
Q: I'm completely lost...what's a Dreamcast (etc.)?
A: You'll want to check out the links in the "Getting Started" section at the very beginning of this post.
Q: Why focus on B&Ms so much?
A: B&M sources are more likely to have existing stock.
A: Online-only retailers typically work straight from a distribution channel, which can dry up faster.
A: Online-only retailers also aren't as likely to slash prices to clear out stock (since there is no "stock") like a B&M.
A: B&Ms will also usually PM with their local B&M competition, so one low price may be good for all!
A: Some online retailers are starting to GOUGE with outrageous shipping prices.
Q: The tags at my local B&M are higher than the prices on the list!
A: Items at some B&Ms are not being marked down either on the item or on the shelf tag.
A: Probably a GOOD idea to find a salesperson (or a scanning station) to actually verify the prices (not a new practice for most ATers tho
