I wasn't even going to mention it should be "every square FOOT of space"... or the incorrect use of "your" in "unless your bugaboo"... tongue.gif

 

Have a beer on me, Bug!

Looking at this from a dealers perspective, I don't think this scenario would ever work. You're considering opening a brick and morter store with 1200 square feet of display space. Have you really given much consideration to what will be required to make that a sucess? For evey square feet of space, you'll need to have 37 cents worth of Marvels, 24 cents worth of DC's and 16 cents worth of alternative books. On the weekend, you'll need to double those numbers.

 

If you don't rotate your inventory 3 times every 17 days, you'll never make it. And, that doesn't even take into account the other factors. I really get tired of explaining my great wisdom about operating a comic store to the peon masses, so I've created a simple chart that even the dumbest insufficiently_thoughtful_person can understand.

Calculate the square footage of the store you plan to open, follow my recommendations, and you'll be succesful. Ignore my suggestions, and you'll burn in comic hell.

 

Now, if any of you disagree with this information, please remember that I'm 6' 7" tall. That's not a threat....that's just a fact. If you think you know more than me, then you are, quite simply, wrong. I can beat you at ping pong, golf, tennis, a 10k run, checkers, running a comic store, chess, skiing, basketball, racket ball, football, soccer, backgammon, monopoly, trouble, Uno, chinese checkers, connect four (unless your Bugaboo), and dominos. You name the game, and I can kick your arse. If the game is being short, then I can lay on the ground, suck my gut in, and be shorter than anyone. Stay outa my face, cause I'll shove it in if you get in my way.

 

Anyway. Enough with that. Just so long as you all know that I know more about running a comic shop than anyone esle in here, then were cool.

 

Damn sniper! 893frustrated.gif

 

ROFL Sniper indeed. Unfortunately, 'House would never, EVER spell "mortar" wrong.

 

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

 

Oh, I am as likely to make a typo as the next person... but the chances I would misspell:

 

mortar, success, every, successful, racquetball and else...

 

and miss an apostrophe on "dealer's" and "we're"

 

Those odds are pretty slim... smile.gif

 

I was going to post something smart-assy here, but instead I will simply say:

 

Nootch to the bootch.

Well, BlackShotzy was offering quite the incentive if I was willing to wait... and ablue said he would be sure to clean and press me when we were done...

Oh man, I'm so tired I thought you said something about "fisting" but then I realized you said both "flashbacks" and "drunken" and "February" which all combined to make me think of "Fist of the Drunken Master" which led to my thinking of fisting which really is a topic too disgusting to be discussed here in the open forum and should be saved for the darker corners of this message board-- said corners of course being PMs from Greggy.

Yeah... you'll need to take that one to the test forum... That's where we discuss things like fisting and Monroe Transfers...

I'm just saying that Christopher Lambert is the poor man's Thomas Jane. That's all I'm saying.

 

And I truly hope that a Monroe Transfer has something to do with BMX riding.
