Often I buy products even with the "AndyMark" markup as I eliminate an order by doing so. We're always buying AndyMark products during season, but we may not order from digikey or someone else that often. So if I need 1-2 of something, it can be cheaper to pay more per item, but save on overall shipping and hassle (eliminates going to another site, filling information out, etc...).

I willingly pay the AM markup to support a company who's business practices I support. Ever tried getting support from Digikey? Unless you do massive business they don't care. AM? I can call them and get help immediately during most normal business hours. To me that's worth the markup.
So, Andy, even if there is a markup your service is great and you stand by your products and that means a lot more to me than any small cost difference. Thanks
