[QUOTE="CTD, post: 405070, member: 7402"] I would advise that you reconsider being officially against CCG's. Running a gaming store and keeping it open is not an easy endeavor. Even if you do not host CCG events, you should sell them to interested people as it is a source of necessary revenue. Many of your potential clients will likely have an interest in the product you enjoy in addition to CCG's so you can make life more convenient for them if you offer the stuff they'd like instead of making them drive across town for the CCG's (which tempts them to just buy it all at the other store and save a stop). Additionally, you can use those high school kids to make your summer less dangerous for profits. During the college months focus on the college gamers and their needs and just sell the CCG's. In the summer have a "summer special" on them and focus in on bringing in those kids who don't have to go to school. Trust me, as a person who went as far as talking to a banker about a gaming store before quitting (I didn't want to have to put my house up for the loan so I kept my day job), you really don't want to alienate a segment of the gamer market because you don't like CCG's. They make money and you don't have to let the kids stand about your store for hours on end. Be friendly, but encourage them to shop and move along to the DQ to open the packages and get excited over their rares... [/QUOTE]
