Rhyno posted:We've done some business with it but the net profits in the end was no better than our deal bins and grab bags. its easier to maintain as an all purpose nerd store than devoting more sales floor space to grab bags and whatnot, is the idea i think. we keep them separate from the instore inventory and its in the back room where we obviously aren't selling product out of anyway, so, it works.

Well that makes sense. There's a rabid back issue crowd here and on any given day I have 20,000 $1 book available in the store. We move roughly 1000 a week. I have two different guys who bring me tons of stuff constantly to trade in that replenishes our stock. I may look into CCL again for our recent stock.

I don't have any hard proof other than the entirely legal poo poo he buys that I as a manga nerd get mad pedo vibes off of And he does spend a decent amount of money I just hate him because he's irritating as hell At least he also hated the old mall manager

I just don't understand why he kept trying to clarify instead of saying "No, I didn't gently caress a dog, you're crazy." or saying nothing.

It's an interesting moral code where loving a dog is ok, but lying about loving a dog isn't.

Is Marvel doing anything to capitalize on FCBD being on the opening weekend of Civil War? The store I occasionally stop by (to buy silly toys for adults rather than comics) is literally 20 feet from the movie theater in the mall it's in. I imagine that will be a certain kind of hell. ...Not that I'm waiting until Saturday to see the movie, of course.

We have a couple people who order off the adult catalog but for the most part they aren't creepy mutants so whatever

Serious question, because... god drat it I have to know. Are these dildos themed after an assumption about what the character's penis looks like, or are we talking more like those Star Wars diving sticks?

Either way, the dildo for Tony Stark, the Invincible Iron Man, should be a sybian with a (no pun intended) slick UI.

I'm always skittish about buying items online, so I have a question for comic buyers. Has anyone here bought anything through Comic Collector Live? Has anyone run into problems with Comic Collector Live? Edit: I know a lot of shop workers/owners here use it for selling. Mr Hootington fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Apr 19, 2016 |

Has anyone run into problems with Comic Collector Live? It's like eBay in that there's multiple sellers. Look at who's selling what and check the comments. If they have a lot of bad reviews don't bother. Most complaints are about differences of opinion on grading.

Hi! Back at the beginning of the month I talked about how I was starting a comic book podcast called "Event Fatigue" that would deal with summarizing and reviewing comic events with a humorous tone. This is the third podcast I'm involved in but the first about comics and I'm fairly happy with it - save for the length, which is about three times as much as I wanted it to be, so the first episode is a three-parter. Appropriate, really. Some people said they might be interested so I'd love for you guys to give it a listen! If you like it, there's more to come! We have a website but I also made a Tumblr for the show so I can share panels as well with our episodes. You can find the first episode here. I'd be interested to know what you guys think - love, hate, boredom, whatever!

I quite enjoyed it - it was pretty easy to listen to the whole thing in one sitting. A good mix of people who think comics are dumb but one of them knows a lot about them and can educate the rest on just how dumb they can be. You need to plan ahead though and turn off your Skype IM sound.

Sure. Don't nominate Tom King for anything, ya buncha maroons. e: Heh. Didn't see the very first nomination. Still, if putting a mainline DC book is unconscionable, there's Sheriff of blimmin' Babylon. Guess it's no Silver Surfer. American Alien for lettering
