HOLIDAY Codeword ends Saturday - Codeword Prices On Website! Howdy! At long last, the winter solstice will be here on Saturday evening! I am well aware that there are many people in this world who enjoy darkness and snow, but I have always been a child of the sun, reveling in the warmth and bright light of spring and summer. In many regards, my pursuits as an organic farmer are a way for me to be able to enjoy more of the light that the longer days of the year bring. That having been said, it only makes sense that the magic point in the year when days stop getting shorter, and when we instead start to gain a few additional moments of daylight with each passing day, would be one of my favorite holidays! While the advent of the solstice always brings me wonderful cheer, it also marks the beginning of the last ten days of our fiscal year at Mile High Comics. Simply put, that means that we have only ten calendar days left in which to somehow alter the final outcome of not only our 4th quarter, but also our year as a whole. With that thought in mind, I typically provide a great end-of-the-year codeword sale for all of you who read this newsletter. You are exceptionally important to us, as your kind support of our efforts is precisely what allows us to continue working in the jobs that we love so much. Serving your needs is our #1 goal, each and every day! As everyone is already aware, however, the latter half of 2008 has been filled with many economic challenges, to which we certainly have not been immune. Despite all of the national and international financial difficulties of the 3rd and 4th quarters, however, your continuing support has helped us to overcome the majority of the hurdles that we have faced. If these last ten days of 2008 can show even a small bit of growth over the last ten days of 2007, then we will actually come out ahead for not only the quarter, but also the entire year! Considering all that's been happening, finishing even a little ahead of 2007 would be just a dandy accomplishment! It is with that thought in mind that I have decided to change gears on our end-of-the-year codeword sale. While the unprecedentedly generous 60% off HOLIDAY codeword sale has been an incredible boon for those of you who are members of this newsletter mailing list, it has not benefited those who casually browse our website. To give us the best possible chance to reach our year-end goals, I have decided to take the unprecedented action of opening up the 60% off HOLIDAY discounts to everyone who shops with us, even if they do not read this newsletter. To manifest that change, on Saturday at noon, we will be converting all of our prices on our website to reflect those same incredibly steep discounts offered by the 60% off HOLIDAY codeword sale (please keep in mind that the codeword does not apply to new comics, Dallas Stephens comics, trade paperbacks, hard covers, grahic novels, supplies, or statues). For that to happen, also effective on Saturday at noon Colorado time, the HOLIDAY codeword sale will end. Replacing it will be the steepest level of discounting that we have ever offered directly on our website. ALL of our back issue comics and magazines (except for new issues and Dallas Stephens issues) will be priced for you at a minimum of 66% off, with a great many in the 70%-80% off range. All of our trade paperbacks will be priced for you at a minimum of 40% off, with several hundred at 50% - 60% off. Finally, all of our hardback collections are at 20% off, with several dozen also discounted at 40%-50% off. When viewed in combination, this incredible year-end-sale exceeds ALL of our previous discounts and promotions that we have offered during 2008. I cannot help but believe that these great savings should please you very much! Before I go, I did want to make the point that, if you receive this newsletter before Saturday's deadline, you should still try to (quickly...) place an order utilizing the 60% off HOLIDAY codeword. While the incredibly low prices which will be posted directly on our website will show everyone with great clarity the stunning depth of our end-of-the-year discounting, they are (in most instances...) a restating of the incredible discounts already exclusively available to you via the 60% off HOLIDAY codeword. The difference will be, however, that as of Saturday afternoon, these dramatically lower prices will suddenly be immediately available to ALL 200,000+ casual browsers who visit our website each month. Given that a great many of the items that we list on our website are one-of-a-kind, your quickly utilizing the 60% off HOLIDAY codeword will not only save you a great deal of money, but it will also help you to lock in scarce issues that might well quickly disappear from our website offerings. Take advantage of this great opportunity to score great back issue comics and books from Mile High Comics at these insanely low end-of-the-year prices. You'll be glad that you did! Happy Collecting!
