[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 6179931, member: 46713"] Hmm, could you give an example for that? I agree with most of your posts but I don't think I ever noticed anything of this kind. I think the major income comes from 'impulse buys': Gamers meeting at the store to play something tend to browse the store, e.g. while waiting for others to arrive or during breaks and simply buy something if it catches their fancy. Another kind of impulse buy often happens with collecting card players and wargamers: they notice they're missing certain units (minis) or cards, need new sleeves, etc. and just buy them to use them in their next game. Then there's still the clueless parents, grandparents, or other relatives looking for presents, who hope for good advice on what might be of interest for their offspring or extended family. There's still a large percentage of the older generation that aren't internet-savvy. And then there's loosely related specialties; LARP or cosplay equipment has already been mentioned. Then there's arts and crafts materials, and collector items, rare books, etc. [/QUOTE]
