If they stocked that much material they couldn't sell, then they have an expertise problem. You don't need to order a dozen copies, one or two is more than enough for most products unless your pretty sure they'll sell (such as most
WotC/WW titles). If they sell you can always reorder (most game stores order once or twice a week).
You don't run a computer store if you don't know what computers do and how you can effectively sell them, the same goes for game stores. There are far to many game stores started by game enthusiasts, they dive in deep, the problem is that a lot of them don't have much of a business sense. Then it's easier to blame a product or a market for their own failures.
