500GB - Thanks for pointing that out - the site should be updated in about an hour.

Glad you like the speakers... not bad sound at all for $10

I have a question. Why are electronics in titles much more expensive then big box stores?

I have to say, the sweater I bought last week is so comfortable. I've been wearing it everyday XD I'm actually really surprised at how comfortable it is because the sweater I bought in first year isn't the greatest.

Not all of them are. Some items are actually lower. Not everything mind you, but we do our best to find deals where we can.

The reality is that we are never going to have the buying power of a Best Buy or a Wallmart. When a retailer is buying products in quantities of 10,000, 100,000 or 1,000,000 they get preferential pricing from the manufacturers.

Another thing to consider when you are making your purchasing decisions is that a Big Box Store do not contribute to the campus. McMaster University Bookstore is a self-supporting organization, fully owned and operated by the University contributing over $1.25 million annually in support of student success.
