Softcover printing for retailer

[The Disgruntled Poet]

I am running some DCC at my FLGS and my buddy and retailer owner asked me if I could see about getting some softcover Fourth printing "bridge copies" into the store to sell. I am a fourth printing backer and he is not. Is this weird/ unethical /frowned upon, grinned upon, etc?

Might be good to have him contact his usual channels, or contact GG directly.

IIRC, the expected retail on the softcovers was $25, whereas they're being offered to backers for less -- but not at 'wholesale' as far as I know. He might actually get a better deal going straight through Goodman, especially in having a retailer showing interest directly.
