OK... with no commentary I have no idea what you were thinking when you posted this link. So let me add my routine rant here. Sears seems to have simply added a website as an alternative to their stores for appliance shopping. To be fair we don't know if this is the end product or a first draft for them, however.... I am fairly sure that appliances are one of the goods that will benefit the most from centralized storage/warehousing and point to point shipping as opposed to traditional multi-regional warehouse and shipping. Therefore, we should see at least 40% reduction in pricing over the web if they are really trying to do anything with it. At this point these goods are actually more expensive than I have seen locally:

Additionally, they need to take a lesson from Amazon on how to present the products... I was looking for the Neptune washer which is maytags big push right now and there it was sandwiched in between a bunch of other stuff with the title:
