Actually, they don't.  I agree with the other things you said, and in some
cases I am willing to pay extra for the convenience of ordering from them
and knowing my order will arrive the next day, like clockwork (except for
the one time it didn't, since they somehow forgot to put half my order in
the box, and I had to wait four days to get the rest of it -- but this is
an anomaly).  Still, if you're really going for price, there are much
better deals around.  For example:

Last catalog I saw listed a 256K PowerMac 7500 cache for $299.  I just
ordered a 512K cache for less than that from Spectrum Trading.  Double the
cache size for $50 less.

Their price on the Speed Doubler/RAM Doubler bundle was $10 higher than
Cyberian Outpost's.  Ditto for Claris Emailer.  (I highly recommend
Cyberian Outpost, BTW.  http://www.cybout.com/)

And by the way, the $3 overnight delivery is only for orders under a
certain weight.  Try ordering a 20" monitor -- you sure as heck won't get
THAT the next day for $3.
