I want to know, because it seems that most models or model sets are ten dollars cheaper on ebay. In the long run this would add up to a couple hundred dollars, especially when you have a horde army.

Also, about how reliable are the people who sell on ebay?

I'm FLGS, local GW shop and the internet stores (Waylands and Maelstrom).
So, I think I messed up your stats :(

My FLGS has 20% off on GW models and charges retail for paints/brushes/glue/etc. Some things like magnets are also 10% off.

Every time I *think* I find a good deal on eBay, I always check to see how much of a difference it would be from buying from my FLGS. If it's less than $5, I buy from my FLGS. If it's bigger, I go for the deal.

I've not purchased anything from GW.com, and AFAIK we do not even have a GW store in my State (AZ), so I'd say I'm a mix of about 25% FLGS and 35% Ebay and 40% online stores. Mainly these days I just buy bits, but for full kits and vehicles I try to use my FLGS.

Your vote lacks the option for independent online suppliers like Maelstrom Games or Wayland.

Dark it was, and dire of form
the beast that laid them low
Hrothgar's sharpened frost-forged blade
to deal a fatal blow
he stalked and hunted day and night
and came upon it's lair
With sword and shield Hrothgar fought
and earned the name of slayer

I only buy from local game shops (no GW in the area) and independent online suppliers. Does that mean I can't vote?

We don't have a local GW store, which is odd considering my city is over 500,000 people, but I just buy everything from my FLGS instead.

The poll left out online retailers. I don't buy from GW direct or my FLGS because they can't give me the price that some online retailers can. I do occasionally pick up something from ebay or the dakka swap shop.

I would shop on Ebay so much more but my local GW employee is just such a good guy. Like I need to send an email to GW about what a great dude he is.
