    In my area, there used to be a CompUSA and multiple small independent computer stores, and an Egghead Software, where I'd buy computer parts and software. Now, they're pretty much all gone. The only real option for a local store is Best Buy. I buy pretty much all my computer parts online now, usually from Amazon or NewEgg.

    those are the best places to buy stuff.
    amazon has same day delivery for a LOT of things.

    you pay a premium for it with electronics, even with Prime.

    especially for stuff where Amazon or the Amazon seller isn't an "authorized reseller" like with Raspberry Pis.

    The MSRP for an 8GB Pi 5 is $79.99

    Most of the online stores that have it take about a week or so to ship it to you.

    Amazon COULD overnight it to me, but I'd pay at least $98
