BAM! You nailed it. http://comicspriceguide.com/titles/drake-snack-cakes-giveaways/pksxm

Hell yeah! I blame you for my new found love of Sanjulian. It's a good thing though.

Super cool Sanjulian cover on Creepy 42

If this is the one http://icv2.com/articles/comics/view/4054/brian-hibbs-marvel-class-action-settlement then it sounds like they did reach a settlement

yes , diamond has minimums (retail $ amount that must be ordered) I think the Diamond minimum monthly $$$ amount is $450 (retail costs). Honestly, if you can't spend less than $450 a month on new comics/trades, don't sell them. Here's a link where discounts and minimums are mentioned. I have no idea if this information is out-of-date or not. (it looks like the minimum is $425 but may not include retail costs for all items when figuring out that total). https://retailer.diamondcomics.com/support/retailer_docs/newaccts/diamondtos.pdf

That's one of the items I was on the fence about...something I need to do more research on...if any shop owners have experience with a POS system, please let me know how it's working out and if it was worth the investment! I believe Diamond has (or used to have) a program that, if you purchased their point of sale system (comicsuite) you could receive the equivalent cost of the system in free TPB's from various, participating publishers. Here's a link where they mention the subsidy program for the purchase of their POS system http://www.diamondcomics.com/Home/1/1/3/597?articleID=123480

Thank you very much.

Brian Hibbs has written an extensive series of articles starting as long ago as the early 1990's on his experience in Comic Book Retailing. It's called Tilting at Windmills. I can't find the links at the moment, but they are a good read (if you haven't already). * you can find volumes 1 and 2 of the collected editions at AMAZON

His last update, only 10 months after announcing that he was opening a store, really does speak volumes: I wish you the best of luck, BigHulkFan.

Sign me up.

I received my raffle prize from W16227 yesterday... and it was awesome. He even threw in the Justice League vs Suicide Squad 1s as a bonus. Thank you so much, Dave. They are all really awesome.

Ah Torchwood - some of it was really good but I didn't really like the last one where people couldn't die. It was too 'Americanized' Children of Earth was far superior. I'm in the middle of Children of Earth right now, for my 4th or 5th time. It is my favorite Torchwood story by far.

Those are awesome... and I love your site.
