Title: Lazy sellers?
Post by: Alucard90 on June 14, 2004, 12:41:20 pm

I live in houston and one of the many chains here, you can only obtain Project Arcade by special ordering from thier main warehouse somewhere up north (Books A Million) There was also a constant delay for them to come in Barnes and Nobles, i ordered the book on amazon at 75% of the price from BAM and nealy 2/3 less time to get it at my house. Is it me or are the resellers not supplying them thinking that they wont sell much?

I dunno.. but I got my copy right in the local Barnes and Noble in Pleasanton, CA.  No special order or anything, just right in and picked it up off the shelf.  I didnt see how ever more than 2 copies there.

I bought one last week at Borders in Franklin, TN.  It was the last one they had.

My Barnes & Noble seemed to have them right away here in Grosse Pointe. Infact it was on a fancy display table in front of all of the computer books. Of course I didn't see that and continued searching for the next 10 mins.

I am really good at doing that. I always look for things were they are supposed to be and never look on endcaps or bulk displays. Probably because I am a purpose shopper and not a browser.
