Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cirex" data-source="post: 4286935" data-attributes="member: 63721">There are two stores at my city that sell D&D products, then there's the mall that sell them at the book place, but usually with delay and they are agaisnt browsing.My main complaint about these two FLGS is the price, which is just too high. I paid 40€ for the Eberron campaign setting, 35€ for each core book. Now, for the 4th edition, I decided to try with amazon.com because I'm paying, for all three books and non-free shipping, 45€. If I wait till 20th June and buy them here, I will be paying ~105€. Now, there's one of the stores that is friendly, they sell comics, anime, merchandising, etc. besides D&D books. Their business is growing, but I'm sure it isn't thanks to D&D, but anime and other imports. I would gladly buy from there, but the pricing is too high. One could say, "well, half price" but in example, I may want the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. If I want to buy it locally, I will have to wait who knows how much and pay the double. In one year, I can have 12 books if I buy online or 6 if I buy them here. What a hard decision! Plus, reading everything in English really improves my use of the language, especially my vocabulary, so I think it's a win/win situation.The other store, they sell RPG stuff, Warhammer and "general hobby" (scale models and stuff like that) and they must have some shop-lifting problems, because their level of paranoia is very, very annoying.And I'm sorry, but I'm not buying anything from there if they keep sending employees to follow me (or any customer) around the store, pretending to be checking prices or similar. Last time, I was talking with a friend while he was browsing the hobby section searching for something (I don't recall what) and we got lost in some deadend corridor. Half second after getting there, some employee appeared to browse everything while keeping both eyes on us. I sighed loudly and left. I can't stand this kind of behaviour. I have worked on a store and yes, you got to check out if people steal, but there's a confidence factor and there's a limit.</blockquote>
