[QUOTE="Dark Psion, post: 2994467, member: 959"] It isn't just the discount that Amazon offers. Back before the internet, I would sometimes have to go to three or four different gaming stores just to find that one book I wanted. With Amazon, I can get it all at one place, I can get it delivered to my door and since I am an Amazon Prime member, I get free two day shipping! Too many other stores may offer you a discount but the shipping is twice what you were discounted. As for those local gaming stores, they are all gone now and it wasn't the internet that did them in. One kept re-inventing it's self every month. One month it was a gaming store and next month it was a comic store. At the best RPG store, the owner was a fan of tabletop miniatures but if you were not then it was, buy your book and get the hell out! Also keep in mind that the money I save at Amazon is being spent at the EnWorld store on the books that Amazon does not sell. If I had to pay full price on them, I would not be able to buy the others. [/QUOTE]
