I think I want this.
Cant wait to check out all the cool jobs in there
A $10 gift card for the PA store that you can apply to the purchase of the Acq Inc Book*
The Green Flame Stained Glass pin pre order bonus
Your first Club PA merch package (a lanyard and sticker set)
Access to the complete Club PA content archive
So you know, a pretty good deal if you were planning on buying this anyway. Do it one the 1st for maximum value.
*yeah that's right we give you 10 dollars right back in store credit it's too good
Book ordered, through the forum link, extra pin ordered as well
Been a while since I ran an Acq Inc style game, I'm looking forward to a proper set of rules!

They have ways of negotiating that other distributors lack
Ignoring the fact that I Skype in so he won't be able to borrow the book and it's therefore unlikely that he'll incorporate any of the stuff
Still, I wanted the DM screen for my own game (yay random tables) so it made sense to pre-order everything at once and soak the shipping costs a little bit
They buy books at normal price and sell at a very slight loss, betting on the fact that you'll buy something they make money on.

No. Loss leaders are a common strategy among big sellers across all forms of retail, groceries and anything remotely similar. Even dissimilar industries - it's what Uber and Lyft do to undercut taxis.
What you're thinking of is price-fixing, and IANAL but I'm pretty sure that requires deliberate, planned coordination between multiple entities to occur.

To a certain extent, it is in Australia.
Our duopoly of supermarkets extended into petrol stations to grow further, and were using the profits from the supermarkets to undercut petrol prices.
This was deemed illegal.
Online stores marketing many different things in different market sectors may well be doing similar schemes, and moving profit from a market they've cornered into undercutting other products.
Small book stores/LGSs need to offer more than books to stay competitive. Even if their prices were competitive, Amazon or whoever has a relatively infinite selection.
A lot of places think they can have some plywood shelves with MSRP books on it and call it a day, and they're going out of business. My last LGS had a nice play area they rented with couches, drink coolers, loaner games and more. The fact that they sold books was secondary.
