It's been an interesting,
I took our son to a LCS to check out some Simpson and Muppet comics. While I was browsing I ran into a small stack of Fatale #1 2nd prints and a stack of Fatale # 2s. So I grabbed both stacks but when it came time to check out, the dealer told me I could only buy one of each? Is this standard LCS practice?
Now for the rest of the story,
The above wasn't my normal LCS I like to visit, it was just more convient at the time. Well after I was denyed buying those books. I decided I would go ask my usual crack dealer. So I walk in the store and first thing I asked the owner, do you have a limit on books, the owner's reply, yes, what ever you see on the shelves. So I asked, if say you just got a stack of Batmans for example, I could buy them all, his reply was yes. So I proceeded to see if he had any Fatale's on hand and there they was, two complete sets of first prints I grabbed all four plus a couple Fatale # 2s and headed for the door. The dealer never blinked once about it.
I guess I should thank the first LCS, if I had been allowed to buy his 2nd prints, I wouldn't have looked else where and never found the 1st prints.
A big part of this is most likely the fact that you aren't a regular customer. Why would this shop owner want a one time customer to buy up all his stock andpiss off his regular $40-50 week customers because they can't get the hot book.
Long term sustained revenue beats short term burst in every sustainable business model.

That might have been a little too on the nose... Sorry

here are some ebay userids to watch out for: nicksmith042004, burban19792012
I guess sellers could place an immediate payment req'd when hitting Buy It Now but it would still leave you open to credit card chargebacks. For my NM 98 I'm just placing a higher Buy It Now with a Best Offer to hopefull disuade these losers from bothering me.

I was looking at your listings last night and was planning to ask. Hopefully this guy goes away. He does tend to target a small group off books and primarily Chew #1 and NM 98.
I wonder why he is targeting those two books?

I was joking on the Print Run...sorry bad joke...
I would estimate 1000 IMO, they typically do not run less it seems for Image comics (got make it worth it to turn the presses on and such...)
What do you think the market rate will wind up being on these?

Maybe you should aim lower...I have the #2 set...not quite as intimidating as Branget's collection of awesomesauce.
Although...I DO have this little beauty:
#3 representing!!!! I'm not going to break out the Chew OA. Jeff's covers will put me to shame.
No !! Why is there ?My 61 and 63 are quad SS with head sketch.
Me too

That whole issue was full of awesome. Loved the interaction between the family. This issue just reaffirmed my belief that Chew has some of the best cliff hangers/last pages being published right now.
-
not that impressed...
Only made it halfway through last night before the wife made me turn it off because it was "going to give [her] nightmares".
My biggest complaint so far about the show in general is that AT&T U-Verse doesn't offer AMC in HD.

Anyone read 14 yet? Great issue. Won't spoil anything but I'm really looking forward to the next issue. Anyone notice the movie that was playing was the walking dead? Nice one John and Rob :thumbsup:
Loved the overreaching plot movement in this issue.

sweet!!!!! Got to get mine in there.
