So, as many of you know, I used to own a game store (or FLGS). People often asked me to "price match" or give them a discount. Another store owner wrote a great blog post about how much profit a game store makes on a $100 game. I'm sharing it here (yes, it's an old post, but that means the stores make less, not more) to educate everyone. And I ask that you stop asking mom and pop shops for discounts or to price match.

Among the many misconceptions about game stores is the amount of money they make on a sale. I wrote a post like this years ago, but lets try...

Okay, a few things I want to say.
1. All the "news" about Facebook charging everyone is fake. They can't charge you. You don't have a payment method on file.
2. In order for your "All my photos are my property" claims to work, you would have had to put that on your timeline PRIOR to putting any photos on Facebook, not after.
3. Any post that tells you you can win something really expensive simply by reposting is fake. There is NO WAY for a company to track reposts.

Please think. All that reposting and liking for a contest is how you lose the ability to see your friends, not by copying and pasting something to your timeline.
