I was in best buy earlier and noticed that their CD section is almost completely gone. Looks like they removed all CD's from their site also.

Yeah they announced a while ago they were going to stop selling them completely. That's fine though, it means independent stores will get more traffic.

Yeah but it's 2018, how many independent stores do you have out there that still sell CD's? I think we have like 3 out here. God i miss the 90's.

I am sitting happily playing my Classical Guitar, but, I also am receiving cravings to make some coffee, then I overrule it and carry on, but it comes back.

Can independent stores price match these days? In my experience you getter better bargains at chains.

Can vs will. Different questions.

the ones around here definitely don't.

Fair point. Not really sure how independent stores compete with the lower prices found online, in my experience they seem to jack the price up and hope for the best. My local independent music store balances that out with a huge second hand section and will buy from you if you have anything to sell.

The thing about independent vs chain stores is you can't group independents like you can chains. For example, I've been in really cool independent FLGS and I've been in LGS worthy of no F.

That's true. I have a good deal of local independents but only maybe 2 are worth visiting. One specifically has gone to utter shit in the last decade.

My experience is that the good FLGS thrive on creating community and offering a modest discount on MSRP. Bad LGS charge MSRP and make no effort on community. The middlers charge MSRP, chase the hot community, and get by on middlemanning the trade market in the hot community.

Independent stores = record shops dudes

LGS?

 

[CiG]

LGS?

Local Gaming Store. It's just shorthand for whatever local store you go to for your hobby.

When "F" is in front it means Friendly Local Gaming Store fyi.
