It is other retailers, both brick and mortar, and online who are hurt by this. Someone at buy.com probably looked at the contract, did the math, and decided the orders would more than make up for any penalty. They are so large and books such a small part of everything they sell that it wasn't a big deal to them. All brick and mortar stores are suffering now, not just the game shops. I am willing to bet that a large percentage of those who buy online don't report those purchases and pay sales tax. On a large group purchase, even at full price, the lack of sales tax charged can be a decent savings, especially since such orders often include free shipping.</blockquote>
