Anecdotally, my step mom was trying to buy 2 apple watches from Costco and gave up after an hour of trying to get through the cart. I realized that Amazon had them for the same price, so she bought it from there instead.
So there are at least some lost sales by people shopping elsewhere. It's rare that a specific price is only offered by only one retailer for a product.

I suspect a lot of people did that prompting even more sales (I bought house stuff I didn’t even need, I was just mad they didn’t have my tv and I drove all the way out there)
