That seems like a good idea here as well, especially if stores already made their money by selling all of the incentive variants. You could give the book away to your customers and still do well (or drop them all in dollar boxes) I am convinced seeing a billion copies of some book in the dollar box is a super quick way to kill any interest in regular issues of the title moving forward. Better to give it away or age it in the back for years. If the title actually becomes a smash hit then the now worthless books are sellable. Who pays to return 965 unsold copies of this book though when a store orders 1000 of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And depending on where they're located, it my not be worth the storage space to age them for ten years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they have done this to help pull buyers in like free advertising. Then you check out what else they have.. The Action 683 has been selling for around there in 9.8 and they had several listing all related to Supermans Death that all sold for decent amounts, but not outlandish.

It is a super common book though. And while it has a black cover, I don't understand why a 9.8 would get that kind of money. I'm not scratching my head over $250. I'm scratching my head over $1K.

The copy that sold for $20 around the same time looks better. I suspect (know) I own a few of these, but that, assuming they'd always be worthless, I did not bag and board them, so they're $15 copies now.
