I'm surprised the 3-cover sets of Gold are still available. I thought they "sold out" last weekend?

Also surprised the 3-cover Blue sets are available... after almost 2 and 1/2 hours available....

The XMEN Blue has a much higher print run than the Xmen Gold...

The website has identical print runs for Blue and Gold... where are you getting this info?

His email said they were "back in stock" whatever that means. I thought they sold out too. I think he is oversaturating. I didn't buy the Blue set. Ill wait until later and might cherry pick one of them off eBay or somewhere else.

Gold originally had a lower print run. As of today they released more for sale and increased its print run. See email below sent this morning. I think the virgin was 1200 to begin with.

Ok, thats shady if he increased the print run after selling them all out. Wow.

[combiner1]

Agreed...  that is just sad and greedy. Increasing the print run just to increase your profit and not dropping the price is just wrong, plain and simple. I think this might be my last time purchasing from JSC store... too bad to, I really like his stuff.

 

this kinda reminds me when Aspen tried to increase the print run for Harley Quinn's special cover. There was so many backlash that Aspen backed down on the increase. I think that killed there online store sales, just look at Old Man Logan #1, still available after 2 weeks....

 

money greed

Quick question: why is Angel's wings on fire??

J. Scott needs to speak to this...

[Anfield Fox]

I called him out on it on twitter and he just said "feel free to cancel your order".

Yup, thanks JSC but you lost me as a loyal customer.

For me, I am somewhat satisfied with his answer on Twitter. But, if this type of thing happens again, it will show a pattern of dishonesty. That said, overall, Ill be limiting my business to his store for numerous reasons that have been discussed.

[starlord86]

They are all still available. I hope people stop buying them up so maybe he will stop pumping out 12 covers a month and I can afford his stuff.

That's my biggest issue with him right now. Seems to be a money grab. Nothing wrong with capitalism but he could be doing this smarter and treating the fans more loyal.

Just doing math in my head, I like to get these cgcss

$80 = a set

$100+ = cgc

$400 (around) = the total

*times that by the rate that he is producing them*

= "Honey, I don't think we can eat this week"

What a tool.  It's amazing how quickly some people can burn their image and reputation with a few choice decisions.

I stopped following him on twitter for something else months ago, not surprised.

[kevhtx]

Both gold and blue are all still available as of right now. Such great covers that should have been gone quick. I think he made some customers angry.

I can't find the JSC comment about this on twitter...did he delete it? If true this is upsetting, I spend a lot of money on his stuff - boy I hope there's a decent reason for this.

That is tone deaf, increasing the print run.

That said, I like the retro B Editions and all I was getting were the two packs. I think if I'd ordered a 3 pack, I'd cancel and stick with the 2 pack. The main appeal of the 3rd cover for me was the low print run. The retro covers would tempt me at any print run although I'd pay less if the print run were substantially higher.
