why not create a competition system, where you take a picture of the barcode, the computer via internet website searches for the best price including shipping, and then bargains with the store behind the scenes for a better price.
The consumer can then either
1) take the new lower price
2) take the online price 'buy it now'
3) save it for future search (better price)
4) end that search
The system then can collect more sales information that might interest you, and lures you back to that store when GPS shows you are near.
