[QUOTE="TalonComics, post: 198546, member: 60"] Nah, you didn't undercut him. If he didn't have it and you could get it elsewhere that's not your fault. However, and this is my opinion, if you and your friends are buying Hero Clix elsewhere and then bringing them to his store to play then I honestly don't blame him for being somewhat pissed off. But... He's only the manager and not the owner. The owner should be making the decision regarding that. Collectible games that can be purchased on the internet for cost or close to cost only end up erroding retailers from carrying the product. I've seen it happen plenty of times where stores online end up selling boxes of CCGs for cost or even practically giving them away causing me plenty of times to not carry a CCG line. Wiz Kid's Mage Knight line has been no exception. If you look hard enough you can find places selling them for less than what I can even buy them from my distributor! Weirdly enough the only company that I've seen try to reign in massive discounting is Games Workshop. If they catch you selling their product for larger than 20% they will stop you from getting new product. That policy is one that I can actually agree with. Anyway, sorry to get a little off topic but I just wanted to try to clear up why some retailers get annoyed when you buy product elsewhere and sell it. ~Derek [/QUOTE]
