Beige Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Now you are saying variants over priced a book? Its a really hard subject to debate really. I think I will be more careful with newer books and not jump in with both feet unless, like Bedlam,I am certain that the story is so good its a winner. Multiple simultaneous variants will ensure that more creators loose money than gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wushugushu Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Can someone name a recent image series that had fb #1 variant that is doing well in value? Bedlam but it doesn't seem to be a hot variant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBT Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Now you are saying variants over priced a book? Its a really hard subject to debate really. I think I will be more careful with newer books and not jump in with both feet unless, like Bedlam,I am certain that the story is so good its a winner. Multiple simultaneous variants will ensure that more creators loose money than gain. no, i dont think i said that. I agree Bedlam will be a long term success likely, and those who bought in will do well My point is that, having multiple variants will help shield a book from an unsustainable speculation, which in the long run will hurt both creators and speculators. People who believe in Bedlam still having the ability to buy into the book, without having to spend a fortune, is good for them, and doesnt hurt the creator. Lot's of variants made the creators a lot of money too. What's hurt bedlam, is people who bought in thinking they could make a quick buck, bailing when they realized they couldnt. But those people werent truly helping the creators either. If the Sketch variant hadnt released before the regular cover, I am sure the secondary market would have been vary different. That one silly sale of $500, caused all the problems imo. Bedlam will eventually clean through all the over supply, and the prices will start to rise.

Mr. Hog Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 X 10 regular X 2 forbidden planet And for the record, I am giddy about this book. Everything from the proposed story to the art (especially the art) makes me excited about it! I don't care about the speculation or the hype, it's just a badass looking book. Hehehe.... Exciting.

Wushugushu Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I believe speculation plays a factor if you order 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hog Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Nope! I'm going to tape them all together and make a bigger volume and sleep in its sleeves of beauty. (Ok fine - Also hoping the 10 lead to at least one 9.8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
