mom and pop vs. big hobby shop

[southpier]

...instead of ripping off magazine covers and throwing them in the dumpster the drastically reduce the prices shrink wrap them up and throw em in a clearance bin! I constantly get mcm mags and scale auto for a couple bucks ....

odd way to handle it. years ago a merchant was only required to send the title block back to the publisher for credit due on unsold magazines. I would hate to think someone is getting credit from the publisher and making money on the magazine, too. doesn't quite seem fair.
