i spend a lot of time at my lgs and their biggest issue is shifting product from shelves since they can not buy new stuff if they have not sold out their previous orders. not only are they forced into buying shit due to distributors being toxic, but they often run thin profit margins on existing stock. so they need to keep moving cards in order to survive
stock that sits on shelves is not good for shops and they need to move it. so people getting fomo and buying what they can means that lgs stay in the black and can afford to buy the next sets
love them or hate them, we need investors and resellers to keep the grassroots hobby alive. if lgs die, the community dies and pokemon dies too
