Why price match? Why not just use the cheaper price?

Why use DDD price match policy is something is cheaper at another online store? Why not just use the competiting store. It's not like they will give you an extra percentage off.

Because sometimes the other store charges sales tax.

Maybe you've had a bad experience at the other store and don't want to give them any more of your business.

Maybe you're in the store buying something else.

[stevevt]

Maybe you think it's a good idea to encourage stores to pricematch.

[stevevt]

Maybe one store takes a payment type (PayPal, etc.) that the other one doesn't.

some might be boycotting one vendor and/or receiving a 110% price match from a competing vendor.

What I like about pricematching is when a store has an offer, but only has pan & scan versions left; just take the ad to a pricematching store and get the correctly-framed version.

Sometimes it is a matter of convenience. Or maybe I'm just lazy. As I basically have no allegiance to any retailer (they've all pissed me off at one time or another), I can't cite that as a reason.

Oh yeah, and the obvious misprints.
