So going by your inference, D&D 3.5 must also be pretty poorly to be going at a third off their cover price (the same as GURPS). Or you might deduce that online retail giants like those above make all their profit on volume of sales and so have a razor thin profit on a per book basis. As an aside, this is also what hurts your FLGS --- they can't compete with that kind of a mark down on product and by placing preorders you will frequently get your copy as soon as the local small-business brick and mortar does.</blockquote>
