  1. Anyone read this? http://www.techerator.com/2013/01/get-back-into-comics-with-comixology/ Interesting that a new comic reader was born out of interest in Saga AND Comixology
  2. Completely agree. I read on iPad then buy the floppies. I had a friend give me a TPB and i skimmed it. Just did't look at vivid. Exactly. I had the same reaction. Interesting to see just how well it does on Comixology too (comparing average amount of reviews issue to other comic series)
  3. Anyone else also reading Saga on Comixology? I find that the art pops more and is cleaner on the app than in print (gasp). Perhaps because Fiona makes it digitally? (Full disclosure: I actually discovered Saga on Comixology first. [double gasp])
  4. Has anyone written into BKV via To Be Continued? I've never written to any comic before, seriously tempted to this time.
  5. :golfclap: "Every time try to get out.... They suck me back in!!!"
  6. that wasn't aimed at anyone specifically or a commentary on YouTube posts in this thread. I just think YouTube is a great source of people being...well...train wrecks. Seriously, people love recording (and eventually posting) themselves being total insufficiently_thoughtful_persons on there. Anyhow, back on track (see what I did there): Saga So earlier this month, I scored a #1 CGC SS 9.6... And despite that, it bugged me, as a collector that it was NOT a 9.8.... Today, thanks to jjeanius, I purchased my 9.8 (at the 11th hour, no less). Pretty stoked! (A feeble attempt to re-rail this derail, but hey... worth a shot)
  7. Best thing to do here is stop arguing with people on forums, thereby creating more posts that can be dug up in the future. Instead, work on salvaging a potential sale and possibly saving face, or just walk away knowing this particular group will no longer purchase from your store. Seriously, this is two more YouTube links away from turning into a train wreck. Or, you know, go on. It is kind of intriguing watching this unfold.
  8. Well, damn. Looks like the Internet has more on Joe than competition in comic sales. That truly sucks, because the "personal experience" is really one of the last few things that LCS have over online retailers. And if you can't even safeguard that... Well....
  9. Good luck! I really do hope it all works out. Cheers
  10. Hey Joe, In all honesty, that's beside the point. If I had a penny for all of the bad reviews our products (and our company) have gotten, I'd be a rich man. But that's the nature of being in business online. Like it or not, people WILL review your business practices, your products, etc. This is no different than the scores of people that leave poor reviews on Amazon. The difference is, your company is still (seemingly) in a position to be this close to its customer base, so it feels a bit more personal for you. What you want (need) to do is safeguard your business's reputation by valuing IT more than the few bucks you would've lost over a possible technical glitch. In MY opinion, your offer was no-where near reasonable. His was. He gets 1/3 of the deal he would've had originally and You keep 2/3 of that inventory at your higher price AS WELL as a returning customer (not to mention the potential sales you lose from one bad review). If it truly was business, you could've made a wiser business decision and not taken his posts personally. Cheers and good luck. PS. I always remember this when it comes to reviews and the customer experience. "It's always easier to destroy, than it is to create."
  11. Cool of you to stop by and explain things from your side. But given your statement above, it still sounds like there was a possible glitch on your end. Seems like if you had honored the price from just a few days earlier on ONE set, you would've saved yourself a lot of grief. I work for a huge company and often have to deal with customer complaints and crappy technical issues, and trust me, sometimes a little bit of give goes a long way. Missed opportunity on your part, if you ask me. Sucks for both parties. EDIT: I just saw the post above me. Well said Branget.
