[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 1623801, member: 891"] One of the Kalamar books I own was actually on reserve for one of my players but they turned around and gave it to me when I walked in. I had no idea it was on reserve for anybody, and found out that evening at the game. I did know it was the only copy they had. Now, this was the not-as-local store that's two cities south of me, and that player was actually a former employee who regularly converses with the store owner... so whatever... When it comes down to it, the reality of the capitalist model is that you have to stay competitive. I owe you no more loyalty than you owe me. You can't have it all your way - if the publishers raise prices and try to get more profit, it's just as valid for me to take any opportunity I can to cut that price back down to where I want it - to put the price back down to where demand sets it naturally. If the local store wants to survive, it needs to become competitive. This isn't socialism, and I have no duty to 'put it on the dole' and prop it up on some kind of welfare above its peers. [/QUOTE]
