Prices in the store are exactly the same as what is shown on the
website, but you pay NYC sales tax. Sometimes they have store-only
specials too.
The reference you made was to "low-margin mail-order companies", not
"mail order companies", which implies companies that are basically box
handlers with maybe a warehouse and little else, no service
organization etc. B&H Photo is a big operation, not a "low-margin mail-
order company" at all, with customer service, training classes,
support services, brick'n'mortar store, etc. They have competitive
pricing, for sure ... they like to do biz'ness, eh?
I'm sorry my New York manner offends your delicate sensibilities.

I fully agree with you.
Still, nothing contradicts the statement that they are a mail-order
company, and in this business their price margin is relatively low.
(Compare it to that of Dell, Circuit City, etc.)
Actually, I am not know if their NYC store (which I've seen many times
from outside, but never had time to walk in, even when I lived in
Manhattan) has the same prices as the mail order or their are higher.
Your last paragraph is a great description of what I was trying
to express earlier.
