price differences??

i don't know if this the right place to post
do some companys price match to get business or are things really so overpriced?
i would like to inform you all of the deal i got
a panasonic dvd recorder model dmre500hebs in john lewis and fenwicks £1299 (december)
richer sounds £499(december)
i was going to buy from richer sounds but because john lewis and fenwicks give an extra year warrenty free i decided to use their price match policy and ask for it at richer sounds price but i did hesitate so
one week later john lewis had no stock left and richer sounds put their price up to £549 ..still a bargain
fenwicks did a price match at £549
i have now checked the price for a friend and this has gone up at richer sounds to £599 and still retails at some places for £1299
at the time i did searches on the web and this was defiantely a huge saving
my son in law who works for a big hi-fi retailer says the big stores will take losses to make a sale
after this i will never pay the full price before asking for discounts or shopping around and price matching with the big companies
