[QUOTE="DM-Rocco, post: 2421436, member: 14451"] I avoided this thread cause I didn't know what a FLGS was and didn't care, but now I have seen this thread up for quite a bit so I thought I would check it out. I assume that FLGS is something along the lines of Family Local Game Store, right? If so, then I have to say, while I love the fact that they try to be open and friendly and have great places to play, for the most part, I don't make enough use of them to be loyal to them when they jack the prices through the roof. I have not always been so lucky in my income as I am now so I have very little love for those who try to crew me out of my hard earned money. I feel bad that they have a hard time making a buck compared to the bigger stores but it is not my problem. The funny thing is when one store wants a box of Magic cards for $120 and the other will sell them for $70, where would you go? People who support local game stores are mostly doing so out of love of the owner and feel a need to support them cause they wish they could have such a life. I say they should get ready to compete or get out. I don't hate small store owners, one of my friends is one, but I will not buy from him if he jacks the price and he knows it. PS If I am wrong about the FLGS being something along the lines of a Family Local Gaming Store, disregard this message. [/QUOTE]
