5 lb "Mystery Boxes" of Comic Books Howdy! We paid our weekly Diamond Distributing new comics bill for this week! Under normal circumstances paying our weekly bill would not be any sort of a big deal, but with our Jason St. Mega-Store closed indefinitely under the City of Denver Coronavirus "shelter in place" order, and a goodly number of our new comics from this week sitting unsold, it was a very pleasant surprise for me to learn that we had the funds on hand to cover 100% of that invoice. Woo! Our next major payment that is coming due is next week's payroll. That should not be a problem, as we already have enough of an order backlog to cover that cost, presuming that we are able to simply keep invoicing orders at our present pace. Covering our (large) warehouse mortgage payment is yet another upcoming issue, but that may be mitigated somewhat by some relief from our lender. Fingers crossed... I am providing you with this update on our present financial condition because I have received numerous kind messages of support from fans living all around the world. Everyone is universally expressing that they very much hope that we are doing OK, and that we are going to survive this economic meltdown. Blessedly, at least as of this moment, our survival seems somewhat assured. Things can certainly take a turn for the worse, but for the time being we are receiving enough online support to keep the lights on. Chuck in front of our back issue racks What helps the most in my efforts to keep us viable is that I am able to tap into the hidden resource of our immense selection of 10 million+ back issue comics and magazines, via our extremely generous 65% off VIRUS! codeword sale. It is disconcerting to me to be liquidating so many of our most desirable back issues at (or sometimes even below) cost, but I also count myself fortunate to have accumulated so many great comics over my 50 years in the business that I can now sell a few during these times of economic gridlock. At some moments in time (such as this one...) maintaining our critical life-supporting cash flow is way more important than generating earnings, All of the above having been said, my efforts to keep us in business during these extraordinary times would be completely futile were it not for the kindness and support of our fans from around Colorado, America, and throughout the entire world. Simply put, it is the sum of your orders that is allowing us to keep our critical bills paid, and most of our staff employed. We all sincerely thank you for being here for us in this hour of need. Some of our back issue graphic novels, trade paperbacks, and comics-related hardbacks I want to also extend my thanks to everyone who has been ordering graphic novels, trade paperbacks, and comics-related hardbacks from us at 50% off. Accumulating my immense library of 300,000+ comics-related books has been one of my most gratifying achievements, but if I have to pause my efforts for a while in order to stay in business, then so be it. Really and truly, it is an amazing blessing to have so many resources at hand that we can tap in moments of crisis. Above all else, that is why I think that we will ultimately make it through the upcoming economic storm just fine. Chuck going through the 800+ long boxes My final comment for today is about our incredibly popular comic book "5 lb Mystery Boxes." I was here at Jason St. last night until well after 8 PM, working on selecting thousands of comics for inclusion in our various genres of "Mystery Boxes." As a direct result, a significant number of those boxes will ship today, with even more being shipped on Monday. So you know, I am creating these awesome boxes from 800+ long boxes filled with 250,000 comics that constituted a "strategic reserve" for our master online inventory. Some of the comics in our reserve are relatively mundane, but many others are quite desirable. Boxes consist of a mix of all those comics, carefully selected by us to provide you with as broad a spectrum of reading material as is possible. Initial feedback from our earliest boxes are extremely positive reviews, which makes us all very happy! Happy collecting! Chuck Rozanski/Bettie Pages, President - Mile High Comics, Inc. March 27, 2020 P.S. Please note that we will cover the cost of shipping to anywhere in the USA of all of our 5 lb "Mystery Boxes" during the Coronavirus pandemic. If you add a "Mystery Box" into an order for other comics that is just fine, but please note that shipping charges (if applicable) will still need to apply to the standard portion of your order.
