| | | | | Sounds like a great idea, Jerry. It would be even nicer if you cut to 20%, which would match any sale anywhere (excluding clearance of course).

Let's suppose that discounts range more like 38% to 30% (the lesser is on the newest stuff and things like Star Wars where presumably they are paying Lucas some sort of fee). Add in about 5% shipping charge and (...) (25 years ago, 21-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | In Europe, I think that the retail culture is different from North America and that explains a lot right there. I also think that Europe is not as 'wired' as we are.
