Stores are in competition with each other, but most will not want to lose money to gain numbers of sales. So if the trade price is a certain amount at a given time, most stores will sell somewhat above that to make some money. You might get one or two stores sell lower in the hopes of making money elsewhere for example.
If the UK if you look at price checking sites, you can see one site maybe go a fraction less than everyone else just to appear at the top of the listings. But usually availability and reputation of the retailer is more important than the tiny differences. Sometimes you might see one place much less than everyone else, but generally they never have stock. Strange that. Exceptions can happen, for example, if they're trying to clear an old model quickly.
