[QUOTE="Frost, post: 1628663, member: 5986"] I assume you mean the Game Parlor in Chantilly? Wow, I've noticed quite a few Northern VA players post in this thread. I didn't realize there were so many of us. :D As for me, I'm not a big fan of my FLGS (the Game Parlor). Granted, it is a nice store, but the shrinkwrap annoys me and they offer no discounts. The latter is what really stops me from buying. I'm not asking for much, just 15% or something... make it worth my while to come to your store. With zero discount, it's hard for me to justify why I should buy there as opposed to an online store which offers an excellent discount. FYI, check out Overstock.com, I have found great deals there and they charge next to nothing for shipping if you can put up with the wait of "media mail" (aka book rate). FYI, I've only had to wait about 4 days for any purchase. And with the shrinkwrapping, it negates the "impulse" buy. Sure, they may take it off if you ask, but it's much easier for me to put a book back on the shelf when I haven't looked through it. If I want to have it unshrinkwrapped, I probably am already planning to buy it, and therefore, will have ordered it online because of the lack of the discount. See the cycle? If you want me to buy products at your FLGS, give me a dollar and cents reason. [/QUOTE]
