Price out digital cameras. You'll see factory reconditioned units on ebay going for more than discounted new ones. Same for car stereo stuff...
Then get the hot items like Xbox or PS2 when they first came out. Those suckers were going for $$$$ over retail. I guess in that case people know what they're getting into, though.
It's funny, my wife and I will price out things for around the house/yard/garage. We'll find the perfect doo-dad for the garden or whatever and think of buying it online, but we hold off. We'll find the same thing at Target, WalMart, or HomeDepot for 1/2 the price. But, sometimes it works the other way. I'll never buy car audio at retail.
As always, it's best to be an informed consumer!
