Re: Report To The Stakeholders
Who's to say they've been on that shelf ten years? Stock rotates, people sell or trade books, stores buy stock from other stores, and sometimes things just languish in a storeroom for a while until someone finds them again. It's not like the book goes straight from SJGames to the store shelf, then stays on the store shelf forever or until someone buys it. There is an entire ecosystem that you are completely disregarding here.

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
Just for the record, I've never been in a gaming shop that doesn't trade in second-hand books, and I've been in dozens over the years. It didn't even occur to me you might be thinking of one that didn't.

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
I don't have a stake to hold. Can I get one from W23?

But we're getting off topic. So, then: if files have to go to the printer in early summer for Car Wars to stay on its desired schedule, what does that imply for the Kickstarter? Obviously, it has to be over before that point, but how soon does it have to start? How will a more or less successful campaign impact what goes to the printer initially? Or is SJ Games planning a more conservative strategy than for the Ogre KS, with the form and content of the initial set more or less set in stone and potential add-ons in an advanced state of planing no matter what happens and the relative success of the campaign determining what else comes out later? We'll see when it happens, I guess.

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
On the flip side one cannot purchase something that the shop does not stock.

The only places I've bought used gaming items lately are conventions and Half-Price Books. Yay, anecdotes! :)

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
The second hand section of my local hobby store consists of two small cardboard boxes, tucked beneath the bookshelf of the newer items. So ... yeah.
