What should we do with 50 copies of Zombie Tramp #1?

[iggy]

There's a new series, other than that, no idea. Maybe the story started getting good...

I just saw one for $39 with 3 days to go. Why is it hot?

 

if you haven't given away 50 copies of a book that were then selling for $75 a pop 3 months later you haven't lived.

I haven't did that, but I did give away a copy of Preacher # 1 one week before the news broke that made it hot.

Yes... I'm the goof that gave away 30+ copies here on the boards I was curious what everyone else out here would have done with them and got accused of spamming so I just decided to give them away for fun.

 

But I took those other copies we had and have been slowly selling them in our eBay store. We started around $20 and just kept increasing the cost after each subsequent sale. I think there's 3 copies left in our inventory and the last one we sold for $70. What's craziest is that we didn't have a single copy that was in 9.8 type of condition. We've sold (and given away - bwaahaahaa) the worst condition copies first. I'd venture to say our last few copies are about the best out there. Those will start to go up for $100 a pop just out of raw curiosity.

 

Shameless plug - We will be promoting GoCollect at Wizard World Chicago (booth #223) if anyone wants to stop by and say hello. We're giving out free comics there too. Let us know you read this post!

 

OK, I think I figured it out, anyone more knowledgeable feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Zombie Tramp Vol. 1 was a tpb (only?) under publisher SR Graphics (Super Real Graphics).

 

Actually, the v1, #1 (and I believe the other couple issues as well) was a print-on-demand comic that you could have gotten from IndyPlanet up until just a couple months ago. I don't believe there was an actual print run on it so the perceived value just isn't there. Please feel free to correct me too!

You've shown some class in this thread and your business has come out with a lot of credit.

 

I hope you get $100 a pop on the remainder.
