If ... he had the best price on sheet rock, that's where I'm buying it.

Yeah ... no. Price is not the only relevant quality of sheetrock or of much of anything else. If it's your only criterion, one will save a little at the risk of a lot - not on every purchase, but certainly on a lot of them..

I have come to find that if you are willing to take the time, Wal-Mart isn't a bad site to check for PC parts. Most of the time they are way overpriced, but very occasionally someone will mess up and price something well below market.
