Excellent question. Oddly just this week I had a friend call to see if I had both a CPU and MOBO, because he could not locate a local vendor for his customers dead PC.
Yes, It is hard to pay for store front overhead. I have in the past called local PC Repair business for parts. It is a hit and miss approach. With rapidly increasing hardware changes, and a huge variety of CPU's alone, keeping stock to satisfy the masses, is near masochistic to try and stock a decent selection. I recently walked in All Computer Repair in Highland. I recall they had a few shelf items at the time. Good luck, Newegg rocks!
