I am closing my business because of them. I own a local game shop in a small town. Publishers are raising my costs but not msrp, wanting me to absorb the tariffs. Ultra Pro has already increased prices between 12 and 32% depending on the item. Catalyst's new 40K knock off has decreased margins for me too. Other game companies have closed outright, or suspended dealing with the us, despite being US companies.

I have some games that were made in the us, the quality is abysmal and the cost is outrageous. Ultra Pro moved a lot of manufacturing to the states in 2021 because shipping from China was far too high. As soon as that normalized again they moved manufacturing back to China.

In addition to my raising costs, the threat of the tariffs has business down overall. People's costs of everything else is up, and the fear of further cost increases on necessities has them spending less on hobbies and entertainment.

I also volunteer at a food bank and we are seeing the volume of food we have to give out, and the quality plummet. Mostly now we are getting almost exclusively products that is close to the end of its shelf life and can no longer be sold. We used to get lots of food with long shelf life. All of the government food, nuts, dried fruit, cheese, grains and legumes has totally vanished. I have been volunteering for over two years, and until March of this year we have always had a bag of nuts, a bag of dried fruit, at least one bag of rice, and at least one bag of dried legumes, every single week for two years. We have none of that any longer.
