[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 7316092, member: 6689464"] [B][COLOR=#FF80AA]$15 can make or break somebody. And there are additional costs to it than just those extra 10-15 dollars. If I want to buy a D&D book from a brick and mortar store, I have to hop on a train to the capital city and then take the subway/a bus line and go into a store hidden inside an old and mostly abandoned apartment building for the privilege, no playing space even. Or maybe take another line into a newer more safer looking mall where there's a gameshop that happens to stock some of these books, as long as I can afford a ten percent extra mark up. Still not playing space though. Sorry for not wanting to pay double the money for virtually no improvement or slightly less than that but still more than Amazon for delving into a scary and quite devoid of people place. (I have an official Wizards store near me, and they are friendly enough. But all of the space is for playing Magic and there isn't enough demand for them to justify stocking D&D over fast selling anime figurines. I've thought of trying to gather a group and ask for space on a slow day, but since they don't stock D&D in the first place there's no business for them on it and they'd be actually losing money.)[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
