put yourself in my shoes. someone comes into my shop with a nashbar or performance catalog and they say "i want you to pricematch this and this and this."
i take a look at what my cost is on those things, and somehow, nashbar is selling them for pennies above what my cost is. sometimes less than my cost.
In 2003 I spent a minimum of 2 grand with my Lbs. I've already spent about $600 with them this year. I will still order some stuff on-line. Usually it's the stuff I find at crazy low prices that I do not think my LBS can match. I'm not going to feel bad because I save some money.
