OK, fair enough.

I'm just saying that prices in a real shop will always be higher than 
online.

Nope.

Or rather, "not unless it fits through the letterbox".

For some reason, the box they use to send you a stick of DDR is the same

Clearly. I'm just wondering how much these prices move over time. Some 
things get radically cheaper, some things don't change that much.
