60,000 Comics Intentionally Downgraded Howdy! I am thrilled to be able to report this morning that this past three-day weekend was one of our best, if not THE best, for revenues in our entire 12-year history of operating our Jason St. Mega-Store. Not only did our no-minimum-bid auction set a gross sales record, but the store itself was filled every hour of all three days with throngs of joyous fans avidly seeking new treasures to add to their collections. It was an amazingly fun three days! Chuck at the Auction last Saturday As regards our online efforts, we sold a remarkably large number of graphic novels, comics trade paperbacks, and comics hardbacks over this past weekend after we temporarily reduced all of our book prices on our website to only 80% of list price. Those sales will probably level off again after the book prices revert to 100% tomorrow (Tuesday) evening, but that's fine with me. In all honesty, I am addicted to owning an ever-increasing number of books, so every sale that we have made over the past few days has pained me. My (dearly beloved...) wife, Nanette, insists upon paying our company bills, however, so she is truly quite gleeful and happy when my little stash of books (over 300,000 volumes...) is woefully diminished, and some of favorites are heartlessly converted into Cold. Hard. Cash. Suffice it to say, my wife is a mean, mean woman. ALL-NEW SAVAGE SHE-HULK (2009) #1 On the flip side, we also sold the dickens out of our intentionally downgraded back issue comics, which is a program that is near, and dear, to my heart. I was checking up on our progress as regards adding even more intentional downgrades into our website on Thursday, and Lynne shocked and amazed me by informing me that her records show that we have now passed a net 60,000 (!) downgrades in just eight months. No wonder our online sales are exploding! GI JOE SPECIAL MISSIONS TPB (2007) #1 Anyhoo, I have to go now, as I need to get my butters in gear and start sorting out more comics for intentional downgrading. Pam is back from her three week vacation today, and she can easily downgrade over 1,000 comics per day. Keeping up with Pam is always a real challenge. Happy collecting! Chuck Rozanski/Bettie Pages, President - Mile High Comics, Inc. July 24, 2023 P. S. Will was putting together the auction on Thursday and Friday, so our Premium New-In-Stock Iist for today consists primarily of various iterations of books that Trish added for you during those two days. We do, however, still have our 50% off AWESOME! codeword sale in effect for you on all ten million-plus back issue comics and magazines that we list for you on our website. You can absolutely use the 50% off sale to slash in half the list prices on all the comics and magazines (not the books) that we offer, excepting only new issues, a few variants and restored comics, and our professionally-graded items. Enjoy!
