This will obviously depend from shop to shop. My FLGS always gets Gloranthan stuff in - both HQ and RQ, but that may be because (1) the Owner is a RQ/Glorantha fan and (2) there are several customers that he knows will be guaranteed sales.

Now while, to a large extent, the customers of a games shop will be, by definition, gamers, it doesn't always follow that they are avid Glroanthaphiles, so "product on the shelf" still allows you to get new customers who might not have made the effort to seek out your pdf's.

And some people still come into games shops to find out what these games are - again these people won't be looking for Glorantha pdf's - at least until someone has had the chance to tell them why theu should be looking for them!
