[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 827892, member: 1013"] The only reason I buy at my LGS is so I can browse thru a book before I buy it. I'm not fanboy enough, even with Gygax stuff, to buy anything sight unseen. If they started sealing thier books I'd switch to whatever online discounter gave me the best deal and forget about going there anymore. If they folded, oh well. There is nothing there beyond friendly employees to make me come back as it is. No discount off SRP at all, no gaming beyond the manager and employees playing Warhammer 40k or Magic every now and then at the store right next to me. Actually this store is part of a chain in St. Louis and I never see any kind of RPG promotions going on. It's all Warhammer, 40k, Clix, and CCG stuff at the locations that have gaming space at all. They have a super store about a half hour driver from me and it has a ton of tables set up for gaming. But I never have seen a RPG being played. But my point was sealed books are the best way to get me to shop somewhere else. [/QUOTE]
