[QUOTE="TDRandall, post: 1653064, member: 4808"] Almost always online. I always comparison shop, but the bulk of my purchases end up at alldirect.com. Since I'm always buying over $99 the shipping is even free! Only thing is that it sometimes takes a while for things to show up on their list, no preordering that I've found yet, and it's pretty much the big shops (but I've been surprised sometimes). It was Amazon before that pretty consistently - and even recently when that ridiculously low price for dragonomicon showed up. Just discovered overstock.com and have added that to my "make sure to check" list. My last purchase was Eberron, though, and given the reports about the missing pages I went to a local bookstore so that I could flip through it to know I was getting a good copy. My FLGS shopping ends up being used second-hand materials - if it's in good enough condition it's new to me so I'll pick it up. Seeing as they aren't really "F", nor as "L" as I would like (though certainly a lot closer than some of you must drive), and they don't give me any discount on new stuff (unlike the 30-40% off at alldirect, or even the 10% I'll get off a books-a-million) I can't motivate myself to give exclusive patronage there. Shoot, even their second-hand stuff is less of a deal these days so that my visits have been getting rarer. [/QUOTE]
