[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4553514, member: 70778"] What he said. Crap we agreed on something! :eek: LGS are not selling for more than amazon. LGS are your baseline and are selling close to MSRP, it is jsut that amazon can afford to sell for much less and still make a profit. Don't blame the LGS for high prices, blame the manufacture if that is your point because amazon has nothing to do with MSRP between the manufacturer and the LGS. So you are prejudice against RPG players in stores because they stick around longer than a CCG player? CCG players often are around more and cause more noise and problems than a group of RPG players that stay int he same spot all the time not having to run all over the palce to trade for this, trade for that, buy another pack of this and leave their wrapper trashs and drink trash all over the place, while an RPg group will clean up after themselves mainly because they want to make sure they don't leave a single lucky dice behind and have leftovers to take home or offer the store owner some pizza. Yes the CCG player will do more impulse buying, but it takes more space for them than an RPG gorup. 1 CCG game is usually played on a single table an entire RPG gorup could use, and are very recluctant to move and make room for a new game because they have all their junk sprawled out making theirselves at home and don't want to clean it up because they have to have those things not in use all over the table to prevent anyone else from being able to use the space. 6 people vs 2 at a table, I will take 6 anytime. The point being not who is what or which is better, because the loud and smelly CCGers will lose everytime; but the fact that they can do something and have found ways to get CCG players into the store to buy, if they want more RPG players in the store, then they also need to do something to give them a reason to come into the store to buy or play int he store. One RPG group could cause an increase in sales to new people wanting to try it out for themselves. I have seen it happen, but only once because I was passing through that store and didn't have time to stick around long. So you want RPg people buying from an LGS, give them a reason to buy from the LGS instead of getting less expensive product elsewhere be it online or at another LGS. [/QUOTE]
