The money I've saved on buying from wholesale or pricey electronics from ebay etc. versus a brick & mortar store isn't worth it as I've heavily regretted most of those purchases. After the last monitor I bought on ebay blew up on me and I couldn't recoup any of the $500, I decided I wouldn't ever buy a monitor online again and would rather live with getting one in store where it's easy to get returns for a new one. Went to FS and got a 20" widescreen LG for $100 off as it was on the open-box table.

Yes you have to be smart, however, i'm not interested in playing the silly games that Future Shop likes to play with it's customers. Nor do I want to have to listen to some salesperson try and upsell me something more expensive so he/she can pad her comission. That and try and force some useless extended warranty on you too. Frankly it's annoying as hell.
