  1. So I heard back from a store with a Amazing Spidey #1 exclusive variant and he tells me that marvel did not double his order for the exclusive store variant. So thats 2 stores so far that say this.

    So nobody has shown any proof that these were doubled yet. Saying that marvel has done this in the past is not proof. I know one more store owner i will call later today and talk to him.

    Also saying marvel wanted it to be at the top of the charts is just silly. Everybody and their mother knew Spidey was going to be at the top of the sales charts for the first issue.No need to double store variants to do this.

     

    I am amazed at how southern bastards is heating up. I missed the boat on this one.

    I read it and was not impressed.

    That would be a copy of the retailers invoice. ( I doubt that's happening )

     

    I'll go with my sources over yours: The orders were doubled.

    Factiod.

    Proof or it didnt happen. I only seek the truth .

  3. This amazing spider-man 1500 print run thing is the biggest joke of 2014.

     

    Marvel doubled all retailer variant orders so they could have higher projected print runs. There are no 1500 retailer print runs - just 3000 and 6000.

     

    Also i forgot to ask How do you know they decided to double store variants ?

    Do you have proof to back this up ?

    If they doubled all store variants that means all the stores got a bill 2 times higher than they originally planned.

    I know marvel didnt double there orders for free.

    Let me know

     

     

  4. So Hastings is lying about the print run ? People lie in this world ? Great googly Moogly....

    At a 3000 print run its still one of the Lowest printed variants. Not as low as the 1:300 anymore. So its about a 1:225 avg variant if the print run is 700,000.

    Still nothing to sleep on.

  5. Deadpool #27 variants estimates on print runs.

    #26's print run was 44,141.

    So the two 1:50 prints runs could be 882 assuming stores order 50 each which we know many stores do not order that many.

    The 1:75 print run could be 588.

    The 1:15 Variant could be 2942

     

    Lets say half the comics stores order enough to get the big variants.

     

    So the two 1:50 variants would be 441 print run.

    The 1:75 variant would be a 294 print run.

     

    Seems too low but how many stores actually order 50 to 75 copies of deadpool.

    In my area of 8 comics stores only 1 ordered more than 50.

     

    Agree or disagree ?

     

     

  6. I sometimes ask sellers to write "Do Not Bend" on the package because my postal person likes to make things fit in my box. Other than that I don't tell them how to package books because its annoying when people do it to me. I look at it as if you are working at a grocery store checkout and the customer walks up and tells you to bag their stuff correctly before you have a chance to do anything.

     

    I have a friend that works for the post office. He said the ones that read it laughs at the do not bend and fragile stamps and stickers. He also said most dont read anything but the address and ignores the rest.

    I have personally sent a package and watched the check in person throw it 10 feet away into the box.

    I think when you write do not bend on the package they take it as a DARE or a challenge. :facepalm:

  7. I'm a lurker. I like to read the thread but I don't sell anything. :hi: Been considering making a try at some speculation flipping but every other time I tried I just end up failing miserably.

     

    Any suggestions for a newbie flipper? Not asking what books, I can do my own research on that easy enough. Obviously scans over pictures, but raw vs. CGC? What days are good to put auctions up for? How long? BIN or bids?

     

    Do not list a comic as rare or HTF and then have a picture of 20 or 30 of them together as your ebay picture for that item. I see so many ebay auctions that do this its just epic fail.

  8. Epic Fail Image Comics !

    Too Many Variants ! How many more #1 variants are coming down the pipeline ? #1 has been out a couple of months and still have variants popping up. Epic FAIL !

    But if they get paid why do they care...

    Seems we can now call them little DC or little marvel gonna have a million covers.
