We are selling lots of quirky stuff that the other dealers don't have--the idea is to avoid carrying exactly what other dealers are likely to have, because in that case there is an almost overwhelming temptation to start discounting, and we don't discount, so we can't win that war and wouldn't want to. We are doing well with little standalone card games, and with the German-style boardgames that the other dealers have neglected. And we irritated someone who walked away from our booth muttering about how "evil" a game Lunch Money was. But, I tried to explain, that game was the story of my life....
Anyway, I am in a good mood for two days in a row. Alert the media.
