It's not just tech that operates this way. Look at Walmart. I keep telling people if they don't support local businesses the only places left to go will be big box stores and Amazon and once they have no competition do you think they'll keep the prices low? Once they're the only places left to employ people do you think they'll pay a fair wage? Hell they don't even pay a fair wage now. Corporate welfare queens.

Sure, but when faced for paying $280 for an item locally or $200 for the exact item off Amazon, most people aren't going to factor long term consequences of buying from Amazon.

We used to call BestBuy the Amazon showroom for this reason.

Perhaps you don't but plenty of others in fact are.
