[QUOTE="Veander, post: 828581, member: 1693"] Is it possible that FLGSs are only part of this "6 degrees of seperation" in city areas? I can be certain that in rural areas, like that where I grew up, don't have hobby shops like I see in the city area I live now. Next question would be where do most gamers live? City or country? I realize there are some LGSs in rural areas, but this is just in my experience and that of my gaming groups. Waldenbooks was the place to get the stuff. Oh can we also discuss loss prevention? Hehe I would think online businesses have no loss prevention really. A brick and mortar has to have somewhere around 2 to 3 %? Maybe more considering the clientelle are young kids who are usually poor without parents cash. LAck of loss prevention means the books can have discounts without fear of a bad year of loss prevention. (loss prevention also includes inventory problems and paperwork screwups so I guess even online stores can suffer from that) Sincerely, Veander [/QUOTE]
