I suspect the relative strength in online shopping in the lower income brackets is due to the fact that in 2007, they tended to shop more offline. The apparent "strength" in this segment is more due to share migration. Personally, I got some great deals. I picked up an Xbox 360 for 20% off and a Panasonic Viera TH-42PZ85U 42 Inch 1080p Plasma for just $865 thanks to discounts I found on TechDealDigger.com.

Barney's, Bloomingdales, Saks, Neiman Marcus all had or are having designer sales where prices are 70%+ off original price. Pretty nuts, but great for shoppers and bargain hunters like myself :-) There’s a ton of inventory at the high end retailers right now, and thus lots of amazing deals too.
