Yes, price is an important factor, but it is not the only factor. I do not always shop for the lowest price on everything that I buy. Often, I don't care if it is available slightly cheaper from an Ebay seller. I do buy things online quite often, though, just not from Ebay. I guess that I just do not like the format. It's too hard to find what I'm looking for. There's that pesky time factor, which is often more important to me than the final price.

I'm only comparing any BAM store with the Ebay site. I can't compare one buyer with a BAM store since I don't know of too many BAM stores that sell one type of item. In fact, other than fuel and food, I usually prefer to shop online for my stuff.
You are right that it isn't the only factor. Yes, if it costs me a lot of aggravation, it had best be dirt cheap or if it saves me aggravation, I expect to pay a little more. I have been waiting for a Super Wal*Mart to come into town and finally it has. Why? Because I can park there in their underground garage and not have to deal with the elements or a blazing hot car and I can get most of my shopping in one stop. So the convenience factor comes into play too. Home improvement I usually go to Home Depot since they are more convenient than Menards because they have an indoors shop whereas many other shops make me go into the outdoor side, etc, etc.
