[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 4837784, member: 9053"] I've said this before: if you're in retail, and what you buy can easily be researched and bought online, you had better come up with a new business model to account for it or you won't be around in ten years time. For a game store, there has to be something these stores do to keep people coming in any buying from them. In the case of my FLGS, they have CCG events almost every day of the week, and have a separate play space to put the games in. The draw is that parents drop off their kids for the evening, give 'em $20 to buy cards and snacks, and get a night out. I support my FLGS, but I know that the card games give them at least an order of magnitude more income that RPGs. If a game store can't come up with a strategy to draw people in, I don't think it can really survive. I wish it were otherwise, frankly. :( --Steve [/QUOTE]
