well if you missed the 3rd printing....

 

The 4th printing of MANIFEST DESTINY #1 is available to order with Diamond Code DEC138467 and will hit stores on 3/5.

 

 

Damn those speculators creating false demand!!

 

Good deal.

Happy to see it doing well.

 

As I have never been a speculator, is it common for the additional printings to get hoarded? Or is this a sign of additional readers getting ahold of copies?

 

No, not common. But I'm thankful for the additional printings, I picked some up to give away for people to read that I think would love this series.

 

At my nearest LCS, you've got to be at the doors when they open to get an Image #1 First Print, a few local speculators usually buy them out (if they're not damaged in shipping) and the store doesn't care.

 

Its still hilarious how some are using 2nd and 3rd printings as "proof" that the original (and quick) jump in eBay prices for this book are driven by readership lolPeople can still want to read a series that has experienced a price hike due to specualtion...in fact, you could argue that people may want to read it even more!

(PS - Just got back from the LCS, huge stack of #1 reprints still there. I guess markets are different)

what's the highest number of reprintings of an Image comic.

 

I'm not sure you're allowed to :thumbsup: yourself

 

lol yeah you're probably right. Just cant resist responding the backhanded comments. Not sure why it's so hard to see that the current readership and the original price hike are not necessarily related (shrug)

You, of course, will admit when you are wrong?

Looks like another raw lbcc sold, what's the 'trick' to viewing auctions that have recently sold under advanced options (using a pc or tablet).

 

Shouldn't the comics sold instantly appear as a sold item when you go to completed listings. Seems like I normally have to wait 24 hours or more to view ended items.

 

Me too.

The only way I "instantly" see them is if I had a previous bid on the item, or was watching it.

 

I think there is a trick to it, like ebay.ca or something, but I have forgotten what it is.

 

Not sure exactly when the info shows up here but it's a great resource for seeing what OBOs went for.
