60% Off WINTER Codeword Begins Howdy! After six frenetic weeks (from Black Friday until just yesterday...) our annual holiday season has finally ended. Whew! I can assure you that we are all really tired after running that annual retailing marathon. We are always incredibly grateful for the extra cash flow at the end of the year, as it allows my ever-patient wife, Nanette, to catch up on all of our company bills. But, by this point in January, we are all more than ready to return to our more relaxed off-season rhythms. Frost flowers formed overnight on the young cherry trees at Jay Hill Farm. The good news is that we beat all odds this year in our Jason St. Mega-Store, and finished substantially ahead of our total sales for 2023. That differential was (blessedly) more than enough to cover our increases in our dreadful property taxes ($178,000). For that wonderful outcome, I am truly quite grateful. My fingers are firmly crossed that 2025 shows the same level of incremental growth in revenues, as I have already been made aware that our property taxes will be raised, yet again. Most likely to about $200,000. Sadly, our property tax battle never ends. Crowd inside the Jason Street Mega-Store As regards our online efforts, we had another great year during 2024, with our online revenues increasing substantially. So you know, our biggest genre of growth during 2024 was in the "intentional downgrades" area, as more and more fans sent in "test" orders to us to see if we really were filling the lower grades (Fair, Good, Very Good) listed on our website with our surplus VF/NM copies. The reorders for those (ostensibly) lower grade copies have been off the charts, so we are clearly meeting expectations, and then some. Yay! Crowd inside the Jason Street Mega-Store In other news, I am continuing to work with our awesome builder, John, to clear up the area which once housed our performance stage. We have been chipping away at the huge pallets filled with comics that once surrounded the stage, finding them entirely new storage areas that are outside of the retail area. We have two pallets left to go, and then we’ll be able to move our current south wall back by about 15 feet, thus increasing the overall floor area of our Mega-Store. Simply put, with even more great collections arriving every single day, we need every square foot possible. Well, that’s it for today. I will leave you with a quick reminder that our new 60% off codeword sale is WINTER! It applies to all ten million+ back issues that we have in stock, excepting only new issues, a few variants and restored comics, and our professionally-graded items. The wonderful cornucopia of great back issue comics posted for you daily in our New-In-Stock and Premium New-In-Stock links ARE eligible for the 60% off savings, so there are some excellent bargains waiting for you. Happy collecting! Chuck Rozanski/Bettie Pages, President - Mile High Comics, Inc.
