[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 2423803, member: 1013"] My local store sells product, that is pretty much the extent of thier service. If they don't have something they will order it for you, but they never have any idea if or when it will show up since it's part of a chain, The Fantasy Shop, and they order from the central store. So if 3-4 weeks go by without my book showing up and I ask them about it they just tell me they can order it again and see what happens. I know its not the fault of the store employee since that is the system they have to work with but why do I keep shopping there for game books? No discounts at all and not enough room for gaming. Its right down the street from me, and I've been buying games and comics there since around 1985, through 3 different owners, and that's the only reason I shop there still as far as I can tell. A habit I guess. If I go in tomorrow and they don't have my copy of Monsters & Treasures I'm going to tell them not to worry about it and just put it on the shelf when it does show up and I'm going to order it online. No matter what the case I don't think I'll ask them to order any more stuff for me due to that kind of service. It's far quicker for me to order it myself. I'll still stop in there to grab minis and the three comics I still read but that is about it. If they went under I wouldn't shed any tears, I'd just have to go to a better comics shop for those three comics that is about 5 minutes further away. There isn't really anything wrong with the store, but its just a store. I don't feel any guilt about not supporting them. [/QUOTE]
