4e & Internet Sales

[Shroomy]

During discussion of 4e sales, Internet retailers such as Amazon.com and Buy.com often enter the discussion due to their deep discounts. I was wondering, exactly how much 4e materials do people buy via these Internet discount retailers, so I thought I'd put up a poll to gauge at least a portion of EN World's buying habits in regard to 4e.

I fully admit I'm part of the reason why FLGS are going down the tube...I just can't justify to myself paying those prices when compared to Amazon...

Bought the box set on amazon.

100% on the net.

WOTC core, KOTS, and the goodman products have all been through Amazon.

I do the same for games besides 4E- C&C, S&W, older D&D products, CoC, etc, either company direct, Amazon, Amazon used booksellers, or Ebay.

I haven't bought a RPG product at a store in probably 5 years.

I've bought every 4e book from Amazon so far. I don't see a reason not to as the closest store to me is like 60 miles away.

 

[Obryn]

If I don't get it from Amazon, I get it with a coupon at Border's.

So far, I think...

Core Set: Amazon
FRCG: Borders
FRPG: Amazon
Adventurer's Vault: Amazon
Martial Power: Borders
KotS: Amazon
TL: Borders
Pyramid of Shadows: I honestly can't remember.

I buy all my RPG books (except for a Pathfinder subscription) through my FLGS. To be honest, though, I'm a bit surprised that it is still around.

 

[Shroomy]

Except for Dungeon Tiles (which I generally buy on impulse), I now buy all of my 4e products through Amazon.com.

 

[Bluenose]

Core books from Amazon.

Everything else I've bought through game stores, though since my local one isn't very friendly I order from places that are further away - so technically every 4E product I've bought except for one adventure has been over the internet, but mostly from places that are FLGS to someone living nearer.

Other than a 4e player's handbook when my gift set got delayed from Amazon and all the 3e core rulebooks, I've been buying RPG books almost exclusively online since I got back into gaming after a two-year layoff in 2001.
