You're better off taking that 10% hit after a month, rather than the 40% hit after a year. Worse of course is just never selling it.Most game shops consider only the "profit" and not the "cash flow", but at the same time I think gameshops SHOULD have a couple "eternal products", even if it's only one copy of some ancient book. You can never tell when something like that might be needed. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Other thing I see is a lot of them not buying enough of something first time, then reordering way too many times. The new WotC book might sell 5 copies in the first month, but they'll order 2, then 2, then 2... Half the time losing some of those "5 sales" because don't have it, then wondering why the books are sitting on the shelf. They have no clue how much they should be ordering for what they sell.</blockquote>
