The online places are in the business of putting others out of business. I read yesterday that many of them—for example, Uber and Netflix and, for some time, Amazon—run at a considerable loss and hope like hell they can dominate the market before they go under. Once they do and push the competition out of the way, up will go the prices, quite likely into the stratosphere. Fair enough; that's capitalism at work.
However, the dilemma facing us all when we are driven by price is that we'll help push the local suppliers out of business and we will be able to get parts and assistance only online. Ultimately it will end up costing us more and it will be very hard to get help from someone who actually knows what they are doing rather than just reciting the pre-prepared script.
