ItsJustRyan Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 How is image getting money for these? This only hurts the collectors. If you don't know the answer, I don't need to explain it (exposure, hype, name recognition, readers, sales, market share, etc., etc., etc.) You realize that image only gets the money from initial sales right? After its been covered on their end it starts to line others pockets. Gaining readership is one thing but these "speculators and flippers" reap the majority of these benefits. The idea is to increase over all demand - it's a long-term investment for image. Yes, I realize image doesn't get the lions share on these books, but you CAN'T BUY THIS TYPE OF EXPOSURE. Priceless. We are talking about it. Image is a Are we on the same page now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stguchi Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I keep refreshing hoping another bin pops up Not gonna lie me too wait a few hours.... Its dinner time in Georgia now. As retailers finish dinner and drinks they will head back to the hotel and post. Same thing happen with Bedlam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicfan17blue Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Did the retailers have to pay for them or were they handouts? If freebies, you can't blame Image for thanking a special few. The after market is a beast of our own making. Freebies for being a full paying member which if I remember correctly is ~$300 a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
