Walmart.com is trying to become Amazon with 3rd party vendors. More competition usually equates to better prices. I am good with that!

FWIW, I have had great luck purchasing more traditional (non-ham) big-ticket 
items online from Walmart.com and having the merchandise delivered to a local 
Walmart store for my pickup, thus saving shipping charges.

However, one thing to watch is whether the item you're purchasing is being sold 
by Walmart or by a third party through Walmart.com. The only problem I ever 
experienced involved a purchase that actually was from a third party -- and 
when a problem developed, Walmart said they were unable to do anything about 
it. I was forced to deal with the third party, and the experience wasn't 
pleasant.

I'm not warning against purchasing coax from a third party via Walmart.com. I'm 
just saying that if there is any hitch, Walmart may not be of any assistance in 
resolving it. And returning a defective item to the Walmart store may not be 
allowed if it came from a third party via Walmart.com.

If you read the fine print in the online product listings, you will see a "sold 
by" notice telling from whom you are purchasing.

Overall, I have been very pleased in my dealings with Walmart.com.

Not sure why LMR1200 is a
  good choice @ $12/ft when 7/8" AVA5-50 is
  available at $4.40 or less per foot (last I
  paid for it 16 months ago
  was $3.35).

  LMR-400 and other types thru 3rd parties. I have not
  compared their prices though, but knowing wallmart, yhey
  should be competitive.
