[QUOTE="Kaleon Moonshae, post: 1623070, member: 12147"] I don't know about this one, so many "f"LGS that I have had to deal with over the years have been kind of snobbish if they didn't know you "personally" or you weren't there to buy the newest ccg. The one in college would give their valued customers (read friends) a 10-20% discount and then mark everything else up accordingly so that you were often paying *more* than listed price. The one here in Austin is nice enough but they have never attempted to engage me in conversation other than to say "can i get something for you?" or "going to be buying that?" and that isn't what I think of as friendly. The game store I grew up with would actually *talk* to you if you stopped in more than once a month. He made sure he knew your name if you stopped in more than twice a month. I get tired of all this "save the flgs" ranting I hear sometimes. A store is a store is a store, the people are what make it special. If you have someone local who cares about you and values you then buy there, if not get it wherever you can. my two cents [/QUOTE]
