In my experience it depends on how the product is sold, some manufacturers have a very tight supply chain and prices do not very much. You can often find products that sit on a retail shelf on sale at some point. It takes more time/searching - and expect slow shipping. Its not the same as the Amazon experience but cheaper, its hunting down the right deal and waiting for it. Be ready to use some scrappy web sites.
