They are bad prices.
Call your local game store, ask them how much the things you want from this list are, they will be similar prices or cheaper.

Basically brings them down to the same prices as Amazon's. Might be worth a look if you have Best Buy certificates and think the Surveil lands will hold value long-term. But there's also a strong case for waiting because retailers are stuck with tons of this stuff, as usual.

Misunderstood your post. Agree on supporting LGS when possible especially over best buy. TCG Player and many LGS have sold these much cheaper (online) which is still supporting small businesses.

LGSs can't afford to price-compete with the big box retailers. Their cost on MTG product is often more than Amazon sells them for, and these prices are close to Amazon's. It's often unfair to ask them to price-match and take a loss.
Instead support your LGSs by buying accessories, board games, and non-Hasbro card games, all of which give them substantially better margins. If they succeed in those other product lines they are less likely to overinvest in, and get stuck with, Hasbro product.

Can all of you NPC's that never shut up about "Support your LGS" PLEASE BE QUIET.
This site is for finding the best deals. Lowest prices. You want to support your lgs so much? Go do it. That's your personal desire.
The Best Buy prices are a deal if you compare it to over big-box retailers AND most LGS. They are not a deal if you compare to TCGlow.
LGS have the highest markup. You want to pay a markup to support them? That's on you!
No one cares about your wack virtue signaling. Almost every time some one talks about "supporting their LGS"--they are the type of person who spends 5-10 dollars on a weekly casual tournament buy-in and spends little to no money on actual product. They give lists consisting of .10 cent singles every day that are a mile long and generally just take up space.

Don't use a blanket statement like they can't price-compete. I've seen what profit margins some LGSs make, and a decent portion of them can drop to $85 a box and break even on normal sets. There's a chance they'll price match or better to offload bad product.
It doesn't matter if it's unfair. If people are here, then they're trying to find a good deal on something. Lowest price wins out.
