Midtown is getting greedy or what?

[jjoseph7772]

They no longer offer 15% discount on pre orders for their variants. They use to be 8.50 now they are all 10 dollars. What gives?

[KONG]

Would you feel better if they marked them at $12.00 discounted to $10? The retail price on those is just a number they make up to begin with

What if you dont want to flip.

[krighton]

Then you have a $100 book for $10 to add to your collection.

Buy 2. Flip a comic to offset the other and still have profit. It's how I make most of my purchases.

Greedy? Sorry, not seeing it here.

 

If anyone has been fair about not marking the incentive covers up to exorbitant prices... even knowing they'd be flipped right away for more money... it's Midtown. I actually feel they've been extremely fair to deal with.

THE NERVE! Can't believe a company in a capitalist society is trying to make more money by selling something at sticker price.

The lady at the post office told me Jan. 26th and that Media Mail will no longer need a delivery confirmation. I'm guessing it will be all inclusive with the new pricing.

Can't wait until they start using this properly http://myworld.ebay.com/midtowncomics/

They told me today priority mail will include "free" confirmation as well. Of course the price will be adjusted to reflect the new rates

What sort of blasphemy is this in the modern comic forum!

Okay, look at it this way;

 

We are selling our variant for £4.95. Flippers are selling it for £20.00

 

Is it right that we make the investment and take the risk and others make more money than us?

 

I don't mind leaving a little on the bone but 4x?

 

We keep it at 4.95 because it's still a profit and it gets our name out there. The only way to limit flipping is to limit customers to 1 or 2 per. But then we get it in the neck for staunching the supply.

 

Midtown have seen what flippers are making off their backs and instead of charging similar prices have pushed it up slightly. Seems like a fair compromise position.
