January 19, 2012 12:19 am I dumped my LCS about 2 years ago after realizing No discount program to speak of. Want to keep loyal customers loyal? Give them 20% off. Chances are very good I will be pumping that 20% back into your shop anyways. He also used to run a "Every 6th issue ordered of a series in your subscription is free" promotion that he unceremoniously dropped without notice. That money saved ALWAYS went back into his shop. This coupled with discontinued back issue/trade sales (all books, full price, all the time), a very cramped retail area (he converted the downstairs of his two story home) and more inconsistent dealings (running a 50% store credit back trade in program for current series, then not giving you the full 50%) lead me to abandon the store altogether. I now order more books and spend less by purchasing from DCBS. All this after I actually attended the owner's wedding 1 month before throwing in the towel. Worst of all, this store is still WAY better than our other LCS in town, which literally orders 0 new issues every month of ANYTHING, due to owing a huge bax taxes bill. His "current issue" rack features DC's Hourman series from 1999. Seriously!
