Thanks Dusty and Bill. Feel free to email me your responses and I will post them on the site.

Here's some more responses from the Stores if you'd care to respond to these as well.

"Still no Pureplay product delivered to my store, and
nothing charged to my CC from Pureplay. By this time,
they should have shipped the 8-11, 8-18, and 8-25
titles and charged my CC for them.
Nothing!"

"A few years ago, Homegrown was our highest margin line. They rented great and the cost was low.

But it seems that after a while every series runs out of steam. We don't even bring in every volume anymore."

"Bill rix stated our first order shipped today and that pure play was having some issues. Pure play has some sort of deal where they reduce by 50% the wholesale cost of titles when they hit 120 days old. Pure play is attempting to encourage reorders, but most retailers would be fine getting this stuff 120 days after "street date" for 1/2 price. I have no idea if pure play would accommodate ordering like this or not."

"Many manufacturers sell me direct. I appreciate them selling direct to such a small operation. They provide certain allowances that make it worth my while, and apparently, theirs. Direct-to-Retail, to my estimation, has to make sense, the numbers have to crunch.
So maybe Pure Play would be so kind to shoot me over a new price list, with figures that are reasonable this time..."

"Another point for consideration on this issue: Keep in mind that distribution not only markets to dedicated adult retailers, but also to mainstream retailers that have an adult "back-room". It will be necessary for Pure Play (or any other distributor considering dedicated, exclusive retail direct) to search out those retailers. Failure to do so will reduce the amount of retail outlets with Pure Play product."

"The biggest threat for retail I see in this industry is from the production company that sells direct physical media to the end customer, effectively cutting out both distribution and retail. I can live with VOD directly, but leave the physical media to the retail store please."
