The hub shops generally ship in Gemini mailers.
Use the site enough you know which ones to target.
But shops come and go or change thier shipping policies occasionally.
Anyone Comics even does a nice little doodle on the container.
Anyone Comics doodles are fun. They are extremely suspicious if you only buy the, “Hot,” books consistently. I think they caught on to me based on some email messages I got from them.
Lol. People are dumb. The way the react to thing. The need to realize they can capitalize on it. So yes I bought a few and sold a few. Think I am up to five copies bought and sold now. $125 which can be put towards something bigger and better. That’s how I have been buying golden age Batman slabs and Pre-code horror books. So yes, laugh it up about Star Wars #34 being “investing” just know that day trading comics can be turned into real investments.

But thats 5 people that wont be repeat customers once they feel scammed next week.
I am certainly not scamming anyone. Selling at market price? I know you are not suggesting selling at cover price @Alana? Truth be told certain books I have repeat customers on. When I sell Lady Death, Tarot, or Cavewoman, the same guys buy over and over again. Hot books I sell I rarely see the same buyers over and over. Nature of the business

The thing that is odd to me is how a few shops by me always price these books at the very highest current price?
They typically fill preorders, but will take any of the others and put them out at the high price.
They never sell them…they just sit there and eventually end up in the back issue boxes still with the crazy price.
Now, I don’t necessarily care for not putting a few out at cover, but we’ve beat that horse enough and I realize there are other takes on it…
It just seems like the smartest play would be to move them at a higher but “better than ebay” price.
Stack of SW#34 at $40 is the specific example.
Mark them at like $10-15 and it seems like a win win.

You’re not the one scamming, the book is the scam you’re just choosing to profit off the shill bided pre release pump and dump.
Did you stop selling new comics?
No I didn’t put up spoilers because I don’t really mess with Star Wars spoilers, I usually leave that to Drunk Wooky as he knows what is important and what is not. I focused on Spider-Man books this week. I targeted them because I knew thats what my audience is looking for more. I also had a limited time to target books this week, had a baseball game with my youngest son, so I had a game plan for what I was going to do spoilers on.

To be fair, I missed SW 34’s appearances last week too. Had the book available to read. Didn’t read it. Probably ate a sandwich or something equally inane instead.

Got my 9 copies of SW #34 and 8 copies of Spiderman #8. I’m good. Happy new comic book day.

How many cancelled on you? One so far for me.
I think this could be a compromise between shop owners and their customers. If a new release is selling for $30 they could charge $15-20. That way the owners getting a fair price. Customers who don’t like that can preorder it before FOC or add it to their pulls to get cover or a discounted price.

I’m waiting for 20 copies of #34 to arrive, hopefully before the next NCBD. I will try to sell it in a 5-packs to “investors”.
