I'm a cheap guy, so it wasn't much, but it was a nice gesture from them. I know others got higher amounts, but they will buy a box or two each trip they make. I'm usually picking up a few packs.<br /><br />They also have Pack Wars, and you get tickets at the time of your purchases. These are used at raffles during the pack wars nights for prizes.JediJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261262040532716901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6673889727117377790.post-82149761656834493972017-01-07T06:34:54.968-08:002017-01-07T06:34:54.968-08:00My LCS from when I was a kid, that just closed abo...My LCS from when I was a kid, that just closed about 2 years ago, had a weekly drawing for a gift card. You'd get a raffle ticket by making a purchase, and an additional ticket for every $10 spent. In retrospect, it was a good ploy, as I'd sometimes go in and find maybe $8 of stuff to buy, and be more likely than not to get something else to bring me to $10 to get that second ticket. I think the prize was only $10/week, but it would roll over if no one claimed it. I won it one time when it was about $50. I was probably 12 or 13 at the time, and I felt like I spent forever figuring out what I wanted, because I never went to the shop with that much to spend at once.Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07885481981559170900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6673889727117377790.post-92072331263717176652017-01-07T06:16:58.738-08:002017-01-07T06:16:58.738-08:00That's too bad.

They've been open since the early 90s and are the only remaining store in P-town. They dabble in Ebay sales, but don't do anything else that most associate with a modern shop. No box breaks, no raffles, no in-store auctions, no loyalty program, and the prices aren't what I would call competitive. I suppose when you're the only store in town you can do as little as you want and still make a living. P-town Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437348006643978055noreply@blogger.com
