    One reason the stores are dumping all the stuff they can right now is
that GW just offered to buy back all Epic from retailers. They are
offering $3 for blisters, $7 for boxed sets, $12.50 for rules boxes, and
$25 for Large boxed games (SM and TL). The store can only use this
'money' as credit for other GW stuff, and we must pay shipping. The place
I work at just decided to ship it all back right away, the bastards, but a
lot of other stores are probably trying to pass some savings on to the
customer, rather then pay the shipping and just get credit with GW. Not
sure if this is the reason everywhere, but it might be.
