[QUOTE="Vanuslux, post: 3494674, member: 937"] I think you're overestimating how much of a loss amazon is taking on a 30% discount...if FedEx gives m'lady 70% off shipping just for working for Kinkos, I'm sure Amazon has a pretty sweet shipping deal worked out with their shippers. As for order pullers and processors, for the number of books they pull and process in an hour I'm sure their pay only amounts to a handful of change per book. That said, if my LGS even gave a 10% discount to regular customers...or would deeper discount their older stuff that's been collecting dust for 5 years...I'd be much more inclined to shop there. However, except for a few 10% discount sales per year, they pretty much charge full price for everything. Hence for the most part I just go to browse books I'm thinking about buying then buying them at Amazon. The only thing I buy regularly at the LGS is DDM boosters, though even that's slowed since the price increase. [/QUOTE]
