Verizon Offers $50 Discount on 32GB MicroSD With Droid X
What discount? These are available online for $100 already.
Stuff will ALWAYS be cheaper online. This is a given.
That doesn't mean that this sale is insignificant.
What you failed to mention is companies such as Verizon, on average, have more resouces available to them than online stores. They COULD offer better pricing if they CARED to do so. But instead they would rather exploit there customers by offering bogus discounts.
Compare the cost of running a couple warehouses like amazon to running thousands of brick and mortar stores, having thousands of additional employees.

Well, DUH. Welcome to Business 101.
A lot of consumers don't seem to mind being ripped off.
I got a car charger for my mothers Droid recently on ebay for only $6.88 incl. shipping. Probably would've been what at least $20 @ a wireless store?
And yes, the car charger I got on ebay was the same one sold in Vzn stores, but the description said that for legal reasons the name Verizon was not on it. Ultimatly all that matters is that it works.
Next payday I'm going to buy a 2nd desktop charger for my spare batteries. Been having problems with the regular wall charger, toughscreen behaves all wacky when plugged in, really sucks!
Even better, say I sold you a phone and then 4 months later you decided to cancel you line. Verizon will charge back the store (aka, take back all the commission) and keep your ETF, so all the store has to cover their losses is what you paid up front for the phone (aka, they lose several hundred dollars)
Yes, if you get the phone online, or at a corporate store, your bill might go in the books as helping to pay for your line, but for retailers, its a once and done deal, and phones are paying less and less.
For example, the...
