And don't forget that you don't pay State sales tax.

Actually, even though the distributors have taken steps to slow down the
internet-based underselling of collectible cards in order to protect the
local stores, the distributors are now their own worst enemy with their
inability to supply their customers properly.

After all - the gamer can just slide around them now with the use of the
internet.  And while I don't have any hard data, I imagine that more then
one store has ordered direct from Pinnacle and may even do so on a regular
basis.
