It's a great time for comics, it's a tough time for comics.
Lots of new customers and some great new stories but
those new people paying £9.95 on Ebay for a 6 day old comic
won't stick around when the stories over and the price goes down.
They'll be off like they were in the 90s.
I'm looking after the people who'll appreciate loyalty and good gestures
speculators can fend for themselves
Absolutely right, there is no better way to build a strong, loyal and growing customer base than by giving great service at a fair price. The occasional giveaway and loyalty reward doesn't hurt either. Squeezing every last penny out of a sale is the ultimate in short termism and the reason why bad businesses fail.
songsaboutclouds certainly does look after his customers, I'll vouch for that straight off.
