With going to PF 2.0... is PF 1.0 dead? Is all my stuff now complete without further creation?PF 1.0 material will continue to be released until August 2019. After that, however, they plan to release new products only for Second Edition, although PF Classic content will still be available in PDFs and pocket-sized rulebooks.
I will personally be happy to have my favorite system in a static form.

If a distributor only gets a 40% discount, then they'd have to sell 60% of their inventory just to break even.
Then the FLGS would have to sell 60+X% (where X is whatever markup the distributor charges) just to break even.
I'm not surprised that the FLGS made the choice they did.
Distributors get a much larger discount percentage than 40%. Usually it is in the 55% to 60% off range depending on the manufacturer. Most retailers get their stuff in the 45% to 50% off range.

Alliance actually has the discount on the MSRP given to stores documented on their site for anyone to view. Looks like it is currently 40%-50%.

Isn't that what she said?

Cpt_kirstov was providing a citation in support of Lisa's point.
I trust Lisa's experience in the industry and wouldn't expect her to provide documentation for her numbers, but I appreciate that Cpt_kirstov took the time to find and share an actual policy for a more concrete idea of terms that FLGSs have with a distributor.

Yeah, while I trust Lisa to have her thumb on the industry, her sphere of influence is more what Paizo sells to the distributors for and MSRP. Having been a FLGS employee in the past, I knew alliance had that page, so I backed her up with a primary source. Note I also know that paizo uses alliance, so they could look up and confirm the prices in their system as well.... but as this was already forward facing I thought it demonstrated the point.
Sorry, I misunderstood that as trying to refute her statement.
