$.65 to $.75 is too much to be reasonable if it is canned soda. Stick with $.50... YES, people WILL feel ripped off over $.15.

Warlord IS a good game to stock, IF people in your area are into it.
You'd be best to stock a small sample and see how it sells... also, ask your customers, during your first few months of business, if there were any game lines they didn't see in your store that they'd LIKE to see. Make mental or physical notes... it'll help you gauge interest in new stuff.

Robert, props on serving all sorts of pops.

As to the .65 cents I don't mind paying that for a can of pop. I'd say start your pop prices lower and if your cost goes up that you have to put on to the customers, then put out a sign that says so. If that's out then i don't mind paying a higher cost because I know that you have to make a living.
As a general rule, if you don't like my offer, please barter with me.

The LGS here recently went from .65 to .75 I believe. I'll pay 25 cents more than average for the convinience.
