[QUOTE="MoogleEmpMog, post: 2389754, member: 22882"] I assume you game at home, rather than in-store? As a gamer who exclusively does the latter, I support my FLGS with about 50-60% of my purchases, considering any markup I may pay rent for the free use of their facilities, free access to other games, free or very cheap access to tournaments for mini and card games, and free browsing of product that I would otherwise have to buy before I tried. As a designer, I save about $40 a month by merely browsing prospective markets rather than having to buy the product just to get a feel for it. If general services of this sort are worth less than the markup you pay relative to other stores (most of my purchases would not be available in Toys'R'Us, anyway) or, more likely, online, then you shouldn't support your FLGS. If general services are worth more (as they certainly are to me - I get about $500 worth of general services out of my FLGS each month!), you should look at more than the per item price tags.
