While paging through products, there should be page navigation links at both the bottom and the top of the page, imo. I'm looking at you, Sierra Trading Post. BTW, congrats on the domain upgrade to just sierra.com.

I tend not to frequent AD websites, as more often than not, they never list their inventory.

Even worse, if you click onto a brand they carry, it takes you to the manufacturer website. Hate when that happens.

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Fry's Electronics: your site search works as expected, and it's easy to find out whether the item is in stock at my location. I'll be there this weekend to pick up my watch battery. Walmart could learn from you.

Props also go to PacParts for good site search and for easy navigation.
