Wow, just checked and saw that I pre-ordered this on March 15th of last year. Seems that someone had a post about several new Bad Idea titles coming out. It might have been you, POYO.

Ive got 2 copies coming, pricing seems to have stabilized temporarily to around $130-$150 for Buy It Now’s. I’ll be interested to see where the first round of 7 day auctions ends. Depending on the condition mine come in they will either get slabbed or sold right away.

I read it last night. The art is pretty great. Like somebody else said, high quality heavy weight cover with spot gloss, and high quality paper on the interior.
The story is an interesting premise. What if ENIAC, the first computer created in the 1940s, became sentient. Turns out every major beat in United States history has been ENIAC’s doing ever since. Now black ops have to take it down.
The set up is good. It could either launch into something super interesting or fall flat depending on how the next installments go. 80-year-old secret World War II conspiracy stories have a habit of become ing cliche.

I am more surprised at the sales values of the Not 1st Print ($25 - $40) than I am the 1st print.
It’s like folks are out there just buying and not paying attention to details. I do not think they’ve read and understand that the Not 1st prints are going to be available for quite some time at $3.99. At least the 1st prints are one and done and even if it is FOMO, these are limited to whatever the initial print number is. So I kinda understand these initial elevated prices. We’ve seen it hundreds of times before.
But purchasing the Not 1st print for $40? I just don’t know how one can purchase anything without knowing what you’re really purchasing.

Is the “NOT FIRST PRINT” of Eniac going to be limited as well?
No. In fact it will be unlimited.

In that case where is my TFAW link so I can order 100 and sell them for $20 lol.
I would hate to take advantage if someone like that. If only there was a way to let eBay buyers know not to buy into FOMO. But oh well. What can you do.
Once the next round of these not first prints ships next month the price should really come down on those.

I’ve got a new term which is the opposite of FOMO.
It is called FONSI (Fear Of Not Selling Immediately).
I’m watching a bunch of 1st print BINs for Eniac and within the last 24 hours I must have received a dozen reduced Best Offers. Ahhh… yeaa… not happening. The going value is the going value

Someone was a very bad boy and had a very bad idea to mark up the price. Tsk tsk tsk
Looks like Midtown will have to “find” their extra boxes in the warehouse in 4 weeks. XD

I’m happy Bad Idea is so convinced the rest of us give a single shit about the minutiae of how they run their business.
Please, tell me more about your office coffee stir stick policy, Bad Idea. My life is nothing but a barren wasteland of worthwhile comics to read, streaming shows to watch, and fulfilling activities to engage in without your constant stream of public administrative updates.
I can barely tell the difference between a Bad Idea press release and an email from our office administrator about replacement pen orders.

I’m wondering when shops ditch Bad Idea back.
When will Bad Idea need the shops more than the shops need Bad Idea?

Issue #3; or, joking aside, Bad Idea is enforcing a floor on purchases right (can’t order fewer of issue #not-1 than you did of issue #1) and if people start dropping off purchasing them, shops will follow suit.
From a commercial law stand point, have fun enforcing the minimum order requirement. Unless it’s real estate, courts rarely enforce specific performance (i.e. forcing a party to do something). Sure, they could refuse to fulfill an order that’s too small, but they couldn’t force a store if a store just decided to drop the product entirely.
I’d defend that case against Bad Idea any day.
