I live in California and Amazon recently started charging CA residents state taxes + CA electronics recycling fee which now makes them as expensive as lot of their competitors. However I found B&HPhoto (BHPhotoVideo.com) does not charge CA state tax/fees and they have free shipping. Today I bought an iPod Touch 64GB and Mac mini from them for lowest prices I could find online. FYI, all the prices below are totals including S&H (all free today), CA taxes/fees (if applicable), any black friday discounts. I used Google's price compare to find who had these devices for lowest price and went thru checkout to see what taxes and extra cost they added.
. Apple 64GB iPod touch 5th Gen (bhphotovideo.com = $369 )

(apple.com = $391, amazon = $421, bestbuy = $428)
. Apple Mac mini (bhphotovideo.com = $790, included free copy of Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac)
(abt.com = $799, amazon = $840, macmall.com = $840, apple.com = $872)
Looks like BHPhotoVideo.com has replaced Amazon as my favorite online site to shop for electronics.
