  1. I have international turned off. I don't even bother.
  2. You could tell him and he might not care. Or you could tell him hoping he won't take away half your stack next time your in the store.
  3. Oh I get it, if you haven't heard of it then obviously neither has anyone else? You weren't buying it so why would anyone else? Jeez What are you talking about? I was replying saying I looked past it, but now that I sat down and read it it is good. And it just started heating up last week. No one was buying it. How did I get 15-20 copies from 2 stores after it was posted on here? Jeez You are probably just a speculative genius. You keep saying nothing.

  5. Spawn #9 is sold out now at all of our common online stores. I had a few in my cart to see how fast it would go and kept getting pop ups saying a copy was removed because it is no longer available.
  6. Midtown has been restocking Sons of the Gun #1 comicspro variant every few hours. I don't know if they are spacing it out or people are canceling orders, but I would keep checking.
  7. It's good now that I read it. But where people coming into your store looking for it before? I wasn't. I didn't even know it existed. #1 didn't get a 2nd print until last week. 2 weeks before #3 coming out for a DC title.
  8. Agreed and had stated the same in my post. Just suggested a potential inner circle round table discussion via pm earlier so by the time you go to purchase you're not left with nothing except inflated auction prices to pay. I'm all for this thread being broadcast, but timing is sometimes key for the flip. Nothing wrong with some insider tradey action prior to the main course. I saw that. I just wanted to add something of my own. How many people are active in this forum? 30-50 people? I see the same names and avatars over and over. Starting a PM to buy up the copies will get you the copies and then posting on here saying it is hot and go to the LCS might work. But you need to give lurkers a chance of getting something cheap so they stay interested and have money for other releases. It's a cycle.
  9. Take it to PM. Be the Illuminati of comic books. And see how it influences your sales. Would Injustice be selling for so much if it wasn't so talked about? No. It sat there.
  10. Why would this ever go to PM? Just a month ago Dark Horse Presents #11 was $4 on TFAW and $8 on eBay. Someone says Black Beetle is so good and there is the beginning of #0 in DHP #11. The issues shot up to $30 on eBay that day. Lucky for me I saw it and adjusted my listing price fast on my 7 issues. But this has more influence than everyone realizes.
  11. I've been pairing #1 2nd print with #2 and getting $30.
  12. I have the whole series on there with the prologue. 2 weeks, 27 views and 1 watcher.
  13. Larry bumps up PHANTOM covers to $30 because of the quality of the REGULAR covers.
  14. I wasn't around for the two months of ToT, PP, Saga, and MP. So this is my first promoted release.
  15. Midtown is still taking advanced orders of one per person on #1. I think whoever bought in mass is going to regret it. I guess we will find out when it goes live later today.
  16. Any reason why Catwoman #18 is sold out on Midtown? I don't follow this series. I know Nightwing and Red Hood are the hyped DC titles for tomorrow.
  17. Something I noticed this past week is splitting up the Revival Phantom sets. 1/2/6/7 don't sell nearly as quick as 1/6 and 2/7. Even though I price the set of two a few dollars higher per comic.
  18. I sold two beat up ones this past week. $30 and $36. Both were best offers accepted. Edit: By beat up I mean in terrible condition. They had corner bends and back cover stains.
  19. Has there been any speculation with Batman Incorporated #10? That cover looks too similar to Batman #655 for me to pass on ordering a few copies before the FOC. I just thought I would bring this up early with the past 3-4 weeks a bunch of DC titles selling out on release day.
  20. Looks good Larry. I appreciate the mention too. (thumbs u FYI, I moved my extra copy of Helheim #1 yesterday on eBay for $13. The $8 price tag you have in your report may already be dated. Thanks. I'll get a link for your site added soon.. I think I'm going to start linking prices to completed auction page. Every week, I'll move forward a bit. http://myemail.constantcontact.com/--com...aid=jn5588iQmnI We have been moving Helheim #1 sets regular & Phantom for $29.99. Does any other shop even have the Helheim Phantom variant yet? Both of my LCS that carry the variants have not received it.
  21. It's not an error variant. If anything, the image on the 1:10 variant is the error (but it's not) 01011 - 1st print 01021 - 1st print variant (2 is for 2nd cover) 01031 - 1st print 2nd variant (3 is for 3rd cover) as there were only 2 covers both covers are up variants Thanks for the info. And what's happening to Tottenham? Rough week.
  22. He's talking about the 2nd print too. I saw the eyeball one at a few stores. I just don't know what the correct barcode and incorrect barcode because I thought it was an error making it rare. Edit: The regular #10 variant have the barcode ending 01011 and the error variant is 01031. I have to go check now. At least I have 2nd print already.
  23. I know the cover for the barcode variant, but what is the barcode?
  24. Are you new to the thread? Pointing it out to me isn't going to help the history of the last 50+ pages.
  25. Well it finally happened to me. My LCS that I spend roughly $200 a week at took half my stack ($40-50 in new stuff, $100-150 in back issues, and a few random things for my desk at work or a Walking Dead ice cube tray). It is the most disorganized store I've ever been to. I dug around for 2-3 hours. I came up with several Saga #1 1st prints, 2nd prints and the rest 1st prints, The Sixth Gun full run, several Revival full runs. But then they took Daredevil #21, Nowhere Men #2, and the full Chew run 1st print and told me they weren't priced properly. They were on the shelf. They weren't bag and boarded. So now I need a new store.
