R3D STAR-migration

Personally, I am hoping for a hardcover deluxe version of Saga to come out which think BKV says he will do in one of the interviews last year. A Saga HC deluxe book will look great next to the YTLM HC deluxe book.

SECONDED!!!!

Anyone read this?

Interesting that a new comic reader was born out of interest in Saga AND Comixology

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])

 

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)

Has anyone written into BKV via To Be Continued? I've never written to any comic before, seriously tempted to this time.

Actually, what we were thinking of doing is to recreate the whole, entire original order

:golfclap:

"Every time try to get out.... They suck me back in!!!"

 

 

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)

 

Was it also an SS?

Mos def!!

@awax

 

Seriously, this is two more YouTube links away from turning into a train wreck.

 

 

 

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.

No one noticed him off in the corner because there were many customers at the time, staff was busy assisting those customers, and no one was paying him any attention at the time. Besides, you would think that the sign on the pile would be enough, no?

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.

Or, you know, go on. It is kind of intriguing watching this unfold.

I don't know Joe, but from a quick Google search, I found this :

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....

Again more good points. Fyi, I just sent Ryan a note personally including the screen shot so he could see what it is and mentioning that it sure would have been easier to speak personally on the phone or something instead of doing this type of thing. Remember, I wouldn't have known about it except someone card enough to tip me off.

 

to Comixcollector up there: e-mail me at the address I gave and I'll send you the shot. Happy to.

Good luck! I really do hope it all works out.

Cheers

Hi guys:

 

To r3d star:

You make a valid point via a vis opportunity, but I would like to ask a question: When, despite the best efforts of both parties, a satisfactory resolution to both doesn't happen, does the other party go off and try to run a smear campaign about you or your organization? Is that an honorable way to handle a situation? How can the person who does such a thing possibly undo what's been done? What kind of person does that, regardless of how that person might feel?

Yes, it does indeed suck for both parties.

 

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."

Hi gang:

 

What we're trying to figure out is how the items added to the pickup didn't register properly.

 

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.

when people post a picture like the one with all sagas on ebay, it makes me not want to bid at all. jmo

Same reaction here.

I wouldnt mind seeing these 2 face off for an episode of Ultimate Warrior.

 

 

 

 

VS.

 

 

 

Who do you think will win out of 1000 matches?

Lauryn Hill.... I mean, Gwen.

.....whoa.......

I saw that Fiona is going to be at Emerald City Comicon...what should I get from her?

Oh, if she has any more of the 11x17 prints of the covers, get some of those!!!!! Maybe even get a few extra for yours truly to buy off you.

i think Gwen will be a major character

Agreed. Maybe Izabel too?

Ha. I don't see it.

she sold through them pretty quickly. she even had a second shipment come in on Saturday i think it was.

Well, if you ever attach a price to them. Let me know. hehe

Niiiiice. Shame those aren't on the bay. I'd happily pay for one. I had a friend attend NYCC and get me a The Will sketch from her, but he never mentioned those prints.

OMG are those prints? How big are they!? Better yet, where can I get one? (#4)

SAGA FANS, I present:

 

 

 

Enjoy!

HOLY SH.........

Awesomeness

That's what I was afraid of. So I plunked down on it.

I had ZERO problem picking this up today.

And pretty sure I could've probably gotten it cheaper with a Best Offer, but I'm glad I got this secured.
