I've been to several where you can go back and forth between various vendors where some are high priced to the lowest priced and then find even better prices going back and forth between online vendors as well. You go to a show to see what items you can get a break on or have an immediate need for to also save on shipping costs as well. If you go to a show have plenty of $$$ to spend in case you see something there.

Computer shows are sometimes fun, but I seriously doubt you'll find better deals there...

You should see some of the ads for those shows. "You can save from 30-70% on.... ?" Right! Wrong! I don't know! Ripoff! Your guess is as good as mine! When you walk into one the highest prices are with the first you see because they make sure they are the first ones you see. The little guy in the back always seems to have the lowest prices.
