ALL Comics 65%-85% Off! next email newsletter November 21, 2008 Howdy! Rowan and Chuck (click on image for larger view) After a near record-setting weekend for bargain comics sales, I am being forced to scale things back a bit. Effective this morning, you will not be seeing any more fifty-cent comics listed on our website. Pricing comics that low was an experiment, and it just did not work. We did immediately sell several thousand back issues at those incredibly low prices, but as it turned out, we lost money on the deal. The costs of our covering "free" shipping on fifty-cent comics were just too much for us to be able to absorb, especially to International destinations. All the news is not by any means negative, however, as I was able to determine that, even with our current 30% off SUNSHINE codeword in effect, that we could at least break even on comics that we sold at 75 cents (or a net 52.5 cents after the 30% off SUNSHINE codeword discount was utilized) (codeword does not apply to trade paperbacks, hard covers, graphic novels, statues, or supplies). That being the case, I bumped our bargain comics up by twenty-five cents each, which is a pretty slight change in the great scheme of things. You can still buy huge numbers of our comics at between 75 cents and $1 each, so our current steep discount sale is still an incredible opportunity for you to load up on comics for next to nothing! A very important point that this leads me to is one of your needing to take advantage of periodic extraordinary opportunities that I create for buying our back issues at extremely low prices, while they are still being offered. In all honesty, I sometimes feel more than a bit uncomfortable when I practically shout in my newsletters that you should "order NOW to lock in your best deals!" The simple truth, however, is that when I am creating many of our bargain sales, only a limited number of our back issues are available at our lowest prices. As our stock on those steeply discounted issues gradually sells out, our automated pricing algorithm (which we run every evening...) gradually eases our prices back upwards to keep us from entirely selling out on those bargain issues. Those of you who read this newsletter are a select group of our most loyal and ardent supporters, and I really do want to be sure that you are alerted to our very best deals on our steeply discounted back issue comics and magazines. That's precisely why I work so hard to alert you about our newest steep discount sales. It is up to you, however, to be quick and adroit, and to get your orders in to us right away to capitalize on these unique opportunities to save. I can make sure that you are always fully informed, but it is then up to you to get your order in to us before the bargains are gone... Moving on to today's news from Mile High Comics, we've been continuing to add even more back issue comics into our online inventory. Pam's inventory team added over 13,200 (!) comics into our website inventory on Monday, alone, so our New-In-Stock and $50+ New-In-Stock listings for this week are already huge! With the 30% off SUNSHINE codeword still in effect, and all of our base prices still discounted by 50% off on our website, even these New-In-Stock issues are available to you right now at a net minimum of 65% off (after the SUNSHINE discount is added to the 50% off discount...), with an astonishing number of great back issue comics and magazines at 70%-85% off! The 30% off SUNSHINE codeword can be utilized to even drop the prices on our Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age, and CGC comics to a minimum of 65% off! In the case of many of those older comics, however, we only have one copy in stock. That makes it all the more imperative that you get your order in to us right away... As an aside, one strongly growing trend that I have seen over the past couple of weeks is a sudden spike in the number of fans ordering complete runs of comics from us, oftentimes at under $1 each. If you're been thinking about possibly adding a new title into your collection, now is the time. Our availability is great right now, and our prices will simply not go any lower... Well, that's it for today. I need to hustle on down to Denver now, and continue working on intentionally downgrading Marvel back issues that we have in our overstock files. I've already intentionally downgraded about 100,000 VF/NM Marvel back issues for you into the bargain grades of FAIR, GOOD, VERY GOOD, and FINE, which has made our steep discount listings expand exponentially over the past couple of weeks. As I mentioned earlier, however, the numbers of individual issues available at these prices varies greatly (mostly from 1-12 copies each), depending entirely on how many copies of that issue we had in our overstock files. Clearly, it is in your best interest to scoop up as many of these bargains as you can right now, before they sell out. Below I'm including ALL of the quick links to our bargain listings.
