[QUOTE="gariig, post: 188804, member: 1120"] Just some other observations about myself. I'm fairly price inelastic when it comes to WoTC stuff. I've bought most of the splatbooks, and with my group we have gotten them all. Plus, I have all of the FR stuff. However, I didn't buy all of it at one time, I allot myself basically one book a month to buy, that happens to be the rate WoTC releases books, a coincidence? WoTC knows what they are doing and I bet most gamers out there can save up $10 a week and buy FRCS. It sounds like a lot of bones to drop at one time, but not so bad spread out(like most things). An example of bang for your buck, the Faiths and Pantheons book was raised $3 from Magic of Faerun and Lords of Darkness, but now I get hard cover and a few extra pages, the bang for my buck just increased and I will gladly pay for that! Someone started to bring in the idea of department stores to model gaming stores, they are two different types of business models. Your department store tries to push lots of product with very little markup, as example Wal-Mart. If you push enough product, you will compensate for the lower markup. Most gaming stores don't push that much product, even the big ones really don't. Also, the most bang for your buck are CCGs. If you have a small gaming store, go in and just ask them what makes them the most money, I bet they will say Yo-Gi-Oh(I think that's right). The guy who runs the one across from my campus used to run one in Puerto Rico, he said Pokemon was what saved him from going out of business, so stupid Americanme does have it's purposes..to keep your gaming store open :) Gariig [/QUOTE]
