Easier to find lesser known products I'm looking for and multiple copies of it.Case example of that:I wanted to have my group try out a D20 world.  The LGS doesn't have a single copy, but online I go and order 6 copies shipped to my door.  No worries, no hassle, no worry about store hours (I bought it at 3am) convience for me (no 30-45 minute drive to the LGS).As you see it's hard to compete with that.Even if you offer your customers pre-ordering, they still have to go through the motions of coming to your store and making that order or you taking the order over the phone or internet yourself.That same amount of time I could set up my pre-orders for the next year on Amazon and have Christmas every release date as it's delivered to my doorstep.The one advantage I can see the LGS having over ordering online, married guys can appreciate this, my wife would have a hard time stopping an impulse buy of mine. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />But really for someone that doesn't have a LGS right around the corner, doesn't play the current edition, and doesn't normally play in a LGS you are hard pressed to find something to attract one such as I as a customer.You figure out a way to get me in your store, and to continue coming to your store well than you can win the battle with Amazon.  Till that time though, my FRN's go that route.</blockquote>
