Kevin76 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I don't even walk into comic stores anymore, much easier just to pre-order what I want. LCS are just filled with magic card gamers and a terrible selection of back issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCS are just filled with magic card gamers and a terrible selection of back issues. What he said. I have a dream, that one say there will be a comic shop, with a Barnes & Noble feel. Where reader and enthusiast can unite, drink overpriced beverages, eat cinnabons, and enjoy the sweet afternoon in comic bliss. This is my dream. In reality, my LCS... yeah, I'm not going to go there (literally and figuratively ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veebo Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Just went into a forbidden planet store and picked up the last three variants. They had 10 of the reg covers in stock. Also had some crazy first issues in stock too, not anymore though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBT Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 my 10 pre-ordered from midtown arrived today, bagged and boarded. All razor sharp, 8 are 9.8 for sure, 2 have a bit of white fuzz at the top left from printing, will probably just sell those 2 raw on ebay, and read one tonight instead of waiting for my personal copy to come with my pulled comics at the end of the month.

CBT Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 its worth the read! oh i know , that's why i am going to read one of these, instead of my usual having to wait. Last months comics order should arrive this week, i doubt East of West made it in before the shipping. At least I will have last month's revival to read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hog Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Was in midtown today and they had one big arse stack of them, one per though. I still grabbed one only because I can sell on the bay. Flying home to a nice preorder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujobyte Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 So, I really did love this book and am anxiously awaiting issue 2. Just curious, I'm a lil shocked regular copies are still selling for $8-10ish on ebay. I figured They'd drop to cover by today, anyone else a lil surprised by this? Only surprised due to the print run.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mashed Potatoes-migration Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 So, I really did love this book and am anxiously awaiting issue 2. Just curious, I'm a lil shocked regular copies are still selling for $8-10ish on ebay. I figured They'd drop to cover by today, anyone else a lil surprised by this? Only surprised due to the print run.... I don't think most of the people buying this comic are aware of the est. print run that both Hickman and Dragotta alluded to in interviews. I have been selling on eBay and people are asking how much more I have in inventory for them to purchase. They are worried that I am going to run out and pleading for me to hold books for them till their next paycheck. With my last auction today, I covered my initial investment cost. Going to hold for a bit to see if this thing can get into the high teens or low 20s by issue 6. Also shipping a bunch off to CGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. I think that Viperdays has probably bought some clunkers (I know that I have with Clone, Black Acre and Punk Rock Jesus - I know it was a mini, but I thought it was that good). However just one of the successes (Saga, NWM, East of West) more than covers all of the cash spent on the clunkers, especially if he is buying 50 percent off a DCB or 35 percent off at TFAW.

CBT Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Read my corner fuzzed copy today. Comic of 2013 right here. So refreshing to read a book that isnt just cliches, stereotypes, and that leads the reader around like a dog on a leash. I love stories that have depth, leave's you guessing, and shows that some things will not be explained for a long time. This goes to the top of my favourites list, definitely going to have to right a review on this one. Death looks cool, but i find him just a little too skinny for my liking. It's a cool look, but doesnt make him ominous enough. The things that you dont see are the most horrifying, and its done great in this book. Just wish he was a little more John Marston looking. I am also really happy as i said when i made this thread, this thing is at least mildly inspired by the video game Borderlands. Borderlands crossed with Red Dead Redemption. Also, want to see more of Zone 8, People's Republic of America And more Crow! ftw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have posted plenty of his auctions to show lots of books that end up going for under cover. One would be much better off, if attempting to do what he is, to start a diamond account. He can talk all he wants about rolling in grands, he is barely making above minimum wage, and doing it on massive inventory/low margins. When the modern bubble bursts, it'll all be a net zero sum game as the huge inventory on that day, will negate any profits up until then. It's much better and easier, to be well informed, buy in smaller amounts, and sell very high margin "value added" books. jjeanius/court is a quick example that comes to mind. Anyway, all these "plays" are becoming so crowded lots of people are going to end up getting burned bad when things dislocate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
