[QUOTE="Numion, post: 2923486, member: 124"] Nope. I want it as cheaply as possible. Like I want every other item I buy. Here's another shocker: I want as high a wage as possible. I'm not alone with those feelings, can you imagine? :cool: Companies shouldn't have to apologize for being efficient. If FLGSs can't compete, it is their own fault. Incompetent clerks, lousy service and high prices are what I've encountered in FLGSs. If they fixed those, maybe these anti-Amazon campaigns wouldn't be needed. When companies are efficient, they win, consumers wins. It's not a zero-sum game. It is mostly the distribution chains task to stay relevant as a distribution chain. Obviously it's not about my refusal, since I just paid the WW price for the book. This is about artificially resuscitating businesses that generally are not well run or competitive in the current environment. The price gap between Amazon price and WW price was kind of a subsidiary to keep FLGS that I don't need around, around. I don't believe in stuff like that. When people are giving breaks to the old model of selling stuff, it's that much harder to get into the new program. I know, change is scary, but there are a lot of people that don't get any extra value from FLGSs. Getting stuff cheaper from amazon means for people like me that I'll buy [i]more[/i] stuff (RPG and otherwise), not less money spent. [/QUOTE]
