I'll do my example:

50 gal tank heater pet smart = $54.99, their website 49.99
bigappleherp(not sure if they have an actual store or not) = 24.99

Now I have a mom and pop local store that is $28.99.

That's all I was curious about, now they do sales with that 54.99 UTH and they'll list it at 44.99, but that's still very steep.
With most dry goods you have the option of shopping online for the best prices. And some mom and pop shops competing with that.

But tanks are problematic to ship. Big. Heavy. Glass. Deals on them are hard to come by. Can't really beat the once or twice a year petco one.
