At Phoenix Feather, we are gamers first. That means our pricing decisions come from a place of respect for the hobby and for our community.
1. MSRP-First Approach
We aim to keep our prices as close as possible to the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). We believe this is the fairest way to make our store accessible to all players—not just those who can afford inflated prices.
2. No Price Gouging
Board games, trading cards, and accessories are already expensive enough. We do not believe in pricing items based on current market hype or secondary market demand. While this may mean we sometimes won’t stock certain products because we cannot source them at a fair price, we believe this is better than overcharging our customers.
3. Anti-Scalping Measures
Lower prices can unfortunately attract scalpers. To protect our community, we will implement fair use measures such as:
-
Purchase limits on high-demand items
-
Offering select TCG products only in-store and only for opening on-site
-
No sealed resales for specific limited items
-
Monitoring suspicious buying patterns
These steps help ensure products get into the hands of real players, not resellers.
4. Always Free to Play
Access to the board gaming hobby should be open. That’s why:
-
Playing games in our store is always free
-
You can reserve a table for a game night at no cost
-
Only official tournaments with prize support may have a participation fee
We are not a café. We are a community space for gamers, not just a place to buy games.
