| | My local store gives 10% off the MSRP of 12 boosters....not enough of a discount to be worth purchasing cases from them. | |
The man who thinks he can, and the man who thinks he can't are both right. Which one are you? | |

Wohh, you get 10% off, I wish my guy got me that much [:D]
They are really not doing themselves any favors by discouraging
bulk sales. I have seen four game stores come and go in my
area. I would go in there, but MSRP on Everything. Never any
discounts to speak of. Ya they will get some business from me,
but when it comes to cases, Nope! | |

| | My LFGS give a 30% if you order at least 2 cases and 25% for 1 case. He knows that he has to compete with the online dealers and we all told him we would rather buy from him if he could give us a good deal. He said if we paid in advance he would do it. The owner really is a good guy. | |

| | Ours gives us 20% off cases normally and when sets come out we buy around 6 or 7 as a group so he gives us 25% off. Good enough for me since he provides the nice air conditioned and stocked place to play. | |

| | I recently made friends with a comic shop owner in the town where I commute to college (about an hour from my home). He actually doesn't deal in "gaming stuff," however, when I asked him about DDM cases, he seemed interested in acquiring a couple for me. He matched my ebay price per case--no tax, and, 'cause he doesn't deal in such merchandise regularly, he'll let me pick 'em up when they get there (which could be a couple of days early). Pretty cool guy. | |

| | I tihnk my FLGS gives 25% discounts. They also have several deals with local groups (college gaming groups, local gaming societies) to give them 10% off any purchases they make. What is nice is the 10% is nothing huge, but it is a ncie gesture and gets them back in to spend more money. | |

| | My FLGS has been giving me a 25% discount since Harbinger. He has humbly told me that he now has to drop it to 20%, because his costs went up. I still plan on buying them from him. | |

| My FLGS and I have a 21% discount agreement on cases. I pay $120 for cases, flat rate...that includes tax. I'm happy with the arrangement and would rather pay more for my cases to them than go online and buy them. My FLGS orders the retailer kit and lets me run tourneys at will.
We have a solid relationship and while I could get them for less online, I value the relationship we have and the online retailers don't give me space to hold tournaments. That being said, if I didn't have a good relationship with a FLGS, I'd be all over buying online. Some FLGS's just don't value their customers so I don't blame anyone for going online. | | | |

| When you reference 10%, 20% or 25%, I assume you are talking about the MSRP of a booster which is 12.99, right? It is meaningless to talk about 25% off if you are coming from a price of say 15.00 per booster or something.

| | At home my FLGS charges 10 bucks per booster no tax so I dont even bother buying cases I just buy from him whenever I go in. Down here at school they charge 14 and tax and to buy cases from them I'd get a 10% discount, not worth it at all. When I offered to but 5 cases of minis for a better discount they flipped at me. I guess theyre no so much the FLGS then. I miss North Jersey... | |

| | I get a really sweet deal on cases (I buy 3 initially) from my FLGS. However, I'm the TO for all DDM tourneys, so it's sort of like payment for my services. :) | |

| Slight diversion to the topic but my FLGS just told me last night that WotC is limited them to two league packs per month for a while (next few months is how it was said to me). They normal get four packs, two for tournaments, one for league and one for RPG events. Anyone else hear about these limits?
Our store is a great place to play and give 20% off on case purchases. | |

| I haven't heard about that, but WotC May be looking to reduce their costs. Rumor has it that the revised Broken Demongate map will be included, and either they can't afford to fill teh warehouse with kits, but they want to make sure everyone can get some (i.e. limit to 2), or they are nervous about general supply...
Just a thought.

| Unfortunately, my FLGS does not give case discounts at all.
On the bright side... iconusa's warehouse is about a half-mile from my job... and CoolStuffInc's warehouse is across town. :)

My flgs just confirmed that they will sell them only a little higher than gameoutfitter, thus I will buy a case from them. [:D] | |

There's a store about 30 minutes from me that doesn't give any kind of discount. You pay full booster price even if buying a full case. It's a great store, for a lot of items especially comics, but I will not buy cases from them. | |

Yup exact same issue Ghendar. I buy my books and stuff there but thats it for cases. Whats the point really...except no dupes in rares but is it really worth it? $230 for a case is a bit much with tax. | |

The only good thing is back when Harbinger was going out of stock, I found fifteen boosters there. Had to pay full retail but considering they were harbinger I didn't care. [:D] | |

| The store where I buy boosters now and then, has no complete cases to offer.. I think. At least they said they received them loose. Plus, it always seems very delayed (by months).
The other store I knew that sells them, had the boosters way overpriced. I didn't ask yet for a case, fearing the price.
Alakai pointed me to a shop in his neighbourhood, which I visited once. (It had cases.) But it required me an hour train ride and about an half hour by tram/metro..
Lately I ordered online. | |
