[QUOTE="freebfrost, post: 2421189, member: 3713"] It's a variety of things Yeti. My discount FLGS is the first gaming store that I started frequenting many years ago - the discount is a reflection of just how much money I've spent there in the last 15 years. Most new purchases are made there, but I limit myself to a certain amount weekly that I'll budget for gaming books. Sadly, after the first week or so, this store moves new product off of their "new" shelf space into the "general" shelving. This is bad because their shelves basically suck - they are slanted so that the longer a product sits there, the worse the binding becomes. Otherwise, I do have issues with the place. Staff is not always friendly or quick to help (although being a regular I do not see this issue as much, but I do see it sometimes), I don't really need their services for game space, and cleanliness there is still below average. But I do have a certain loyalty to the place. The other FLGS is closer to my home, by about 30 minutes for a round-trip. So if I want something ASAP, I'll head here. They have cleaner facilities, nicer shelving, and somewhat friendlier staff. Since Amazon gets new products later, I typically order "extra" items from them - extra meaning items I wasn't able to fit in my budget. So, if there are 3 new D&D books I want, and only buy two of them, I'll probably play catch-up later on with Amazon and get the missing book. Now I do fall into the Camp of Disposable Income (aka Mail my extra cash to Yeti), so maybe that makes the difference. Some of it is certainly impulse buying - I see a cool new book at one of the stores, and decide to get it, but I also will shop Amazon for substantial discount items (limited edition PHB, gift sets, bulk purchases for holiday giving, etc). Maybe I'm just the exception... :) [/QUOTE]
