40%-50% Off Book Sale - 250,000 Comics TPB's, Graphic Novels, and Hardbacks Howdy! With just 16 shopping days left until Christmas, I have slashed our prices for you across-the-board on all 200,000+ of our comics trade paperbacks and graphic novels by 50%!, and dropped your cost on all 50,000+ of our comics hardback collections by a full 40%. The only exceptions to this steep discounting are a very few of our oversize books and books less than a year old. Otherwise, all 250,000+ editions in our vast library of comics-related books are now steeply discounted for you right on our webite. Trade Shelves If you are questioning the wisdom of my offering everyone our entire inventory of books at near cost, you are not alone. We had a very lively debate here at the Mile High Comics offices about the logic (or the lack of logic...) of offering so many of our best books at, or near our cost. The argument that I presented revolved around Amazon.com. Simply put, Amazon has instilled in people's minds that books should be sold as a bulk commodity, and has discounted most books on their website by at least a small percentage. This strategy allowed them to put most brick-and-mortar bookstores out of business, and to totally dominate the online book market. Ironically, while our online sales in many book categories have suffered, our prices have frequently been lower than Amazon. We also have been quite successful in obtaining scarce and rare books (many with tiny print runs) that Amazon seldom offers. Despite our low prices and great selection, however, we have still been on the losing end of a perception gap. With extreme skill and adroitness, Amazon has maneuvered book fans into becoming so habitualized to ordering from them, that smaller book websites are no longer even being considered. I think that you can understand why being steamrollered in this fashion by Amazon really fuels a high degree of frustration in me... Trade Shelves All of the above having been said, what I am asking of you this weekend is that you take a few minutes to browse through our Mile High Comics books listings. If we don't have titles that you are seeking, or if our prices still seem too high, we will understand if you don't place an order with us. With all 250,000 of our books at 40%-50% off, however, I believe that we are quite competitive right now in our pricing on many titles. We also have purchased well over 10,000 more books over just the last four months from private libraries, so the diversity of scarce and out-of-print titles that we presently stock has never been greater in our 48 years in business. Need I say more? Chuck in the middle of our Trade Shelves In addition to discounting all of our books to you by 40%-50% off, we also have a 40% off STARWARS! codeword sale in effect for you right now on all ten million of our in-stock comics and magazines, so you can now save substantially on your entire order with us. Only new, graded, and some variant comics are excluded from the sale. (Ones priced in Blue) You can also combine comics and books in a single order to achieve our free shipping plateaus of $50 on Domestic orders, and $125 on orders being delivered to most International destinations. Once you achieve free base shipping, your only freight cost on your entire order will be the small per item books fees that help us to offset the added shipping weight of books. Please do enjoy these great discounts with our sincere thanks for your support of Mile High Comics.
