¿Question #3670?
skelebone: Are you more apt to pay full/discounted retail for games from your FLGS, pay discounted retail from online vendors, or see what comes down the pike on eBay?

AQ_5: All of that whatever comes with International shipping all the way here
weed131: online vendors
jwalsh1: It actually depends on how quick I want the game. It can also depend on how bad the price increase is. Ill give business to the local guys, but when they charge twice as much (as was the case in a number of games) as msrp, well, then I feel like Im getting screwed.
mbx81: FLGS
jdumonti: I try to support my FLGS because the owner is gracious enough to host weekly and monthly game sessions.
Felimid: Anything but eBay.
dazeysan: Any premium paid buying from my FLGS is worth it for the place to play at and people to play with.
pwilz: Online vendors, but that's because the nearest FLGS is way to far away.
Microver99: I try to support FLGS, but do buy from online discount retailers. Often, new prices in this country are cheaper than ebay.

RinzaiZen: I prefer to shop at the Local Game Shop (to keep them in business so I have a place to play).
chockle: All three.
scribidinus: FLGS
kuhrusty: FLGS. I don't care if it costs me more--and it doesn't always--it keeps some of the money local, and keeping my FLGS in business means I can have a new game in my hands within minutes of deciding I need one.
jellospike: eBay
SteveK2: online vendors

POvidiusNaso: My FLGS kind of pissed me off, so I'm all online now, baby.
scriptorum: I have no FLGS here, so I buy online. I have occasionally used eBay for new games if they're genuinely discounted.
puffinge: online vendors, and thanks for not saying brick and mortar
ValJor: I always buy at my FLGS for the warm, fuzzy feeling
