A relatively local store in Arvada, CO, Black & Read, has a great used section, but there is very little fluid stock--most of it is the same stuff that has been sitting on the shelves for a year. Why not discount that stuff and clear it out? And here is the key:2) Don't only do games. Or rather, don't only do RPGs. Have other kinds of games, scifi/fantasy books, musics, candles, Wiccan paraphernalia, neo-Socialist literature, Alien Abduction Survival Kits, etc...whatever is your gig. I can't imagine a store surviving by only relying upon RPGs.Also:3) Discount Wizards of the Coast stuff, perhaps by 20%. I know, the profit margin shrinks but sales go up, and if you have other stuff that you make money off of, it brings people in the store. While 20% doesn't compete with Amazon, it gives people some financial incentive to support their local store.</blockquote>
