[QUOTE="Warchild, post: 199576, member: 769"] I agree pretty much with TJ. Its the store owners responsibility to know her customers (if only to herself!) and what they are looking for. If she is wondering on whether to stock the Heroclix things, ask around. I've thoroughly had it with my own LGS. When there were 2 LGSs in my area, it was great. They had to compete with each other and give a damn about their customers. When the store that "dominates" the area now won out against the other LGS, the downslide in service was quick and stunning! I go in once in a great while (though not for several months since the last time) and still get blank looks and uninterested shrugs when i ask a couple questions. Its online purchasing exclusively for me these days. Ahem, sorry. That rant overtook me for a moment. :) Did you undercut him/them? Nope. If he decided to wait and see, then that is what can happen. Especially these days when your customers can easily go another way. The LGS need us more than we need them. Its up to them to make it attractive to enter their stores and worth giving them our business. Now if you had walked in his store and tried to sell your cards, then i can certaintly see why he got pissed off. But if he is mad that someone beat him to the punch, he should be mad at himself, not you. If you also always buy elsewhere, then go into his store and play cards, i could see where some bad blood could develope. But if you went and bought some cards because he didn't have them for you, thats his tough luck. sheesh. [/QUOTE]
