Star Wars: The High Republic

I guess this means that Marvel did not overprint enough to meet demand, which is a good problem to have for stores and speculators that ordered big. :money_mouth_face:

Nasty rumors tooā€¦ so nasty!

Yeah, itā€™s called ā€œletā€™s create more demandā€ when thereā€™s already a 2nd printing for orderā€¦ itā€™s a ploy likely to createā€¦ chaosā€¦ see meme above.

So does anyone know what time midtown posts up next weekā€™s books?

Itā€™s anywhere between 11am (CST) and 5pm (CST) Iā€™ve seen them get posted or updated. Basically if you have the day off, just keep refreshingā€¦

Lately been around 2-3pm. Iā€™m home all day and thatā€™s usually when I notice the switch.

I pretty much stopped ordering from Midtown so I stopped caring about checking out Wednesdays books until a bit later in the day or weekā€¦

I donā€™t even know what comes out on weds anymore I order so far in advance at tfaw

@Alana same. My preorders are up thru Feb.
@agentpoyo I check for the sold out books. To see if theres something I need sooner to flip thatā€™s ā€œin demandā€ I notice when midtown sells out most shops do too or it creates a buzz about a book and u know the rest. 8/10 I usually have the book preordered so Iā€™m good. But unknowncomics takes forever and Tfaw is quicker but if I grab a couple copies of a book else where its shipped before either and up for sale it goes.

I use to do the same but most of the books I want Iā€™ve already got on pre-order. Iā€™m in the mood now of, if I missed itā€¦ oh wellā€¦ on to the next one. I canā€™t be bothered waiting weeks for a book thatā€™s selling well now to cool off 2 or 3 weeks later when it arrives and then Iā€™m stuck with it and canā€™t sell it for decent profit.

Yeah me too, I missed a quite a few good ones to pre-order over the years, such as Thor 5 when it reached its heights. (I ordered like 20 Thor 4ā€™s but forgot to order Thor 5). But the profit you make on the ones you pre-order ahead of time, taking in consideration the discount you receive, is well worth it when you are right about a comic becoming popular. Iā€™m betting big on The Next Batman #1.

It used to be 1pm.

The last year itā€™s been more like 3pm to 4pm.

One week it was 5pm.

Yup still hasnā€™t updated as of 3:06pm

Takes time to browse eBay to determine how much theyā€™re gonna jack the price up toā€¦ :wink:

Still not posted, man, they really taking their time today.

Letā€™s predict what Midtown does, then. My guess: limit 1 each of the open order covers, and the incentives will be 3x ratio.

Agreed with limit 1 of each regular covers. I say the 1:25 will be $75, the 1:10 will be $35.

Edit: just realized these numbers were exactly what you said lmao

That seems to be their going rates for hot incentives and full price, limit 1 each of the open order covers.
