Not always. I do not believe that anybody can be higher at times than
CompUSA. I needed a audio cable for my computer $2 at TCWO and $24 at CompUSA
for a piece of 3 conductor wire with 2 connectors.

On the other hand I found some other parts at CompUSA competitive priced.
TCWO $19 CompUSA $32 but there was a big difference in how they were
physically constructed. My preference being for the CompUSA item so that is
what I purchased.

There is suppose to be another place over here close to TCWO that is even
better but they only sell wholesale so even though I know where it is I never
go there. For location East of Veterains and west of Benjamin in a complex
north of Hillsburgh. You enter on the old road before they built the
Veterains and changed Hillsburgh. Sorry another name I have forgototten.

I did get a 3 button mouse there when I could not find one anywhere else and
the price was $3 or $4 while CompUSA was $14. Could not find one anywhere
else.
