SELLOUT

Wow I can't believe I sold out on Countdown #27 this week. I keep hearing the series slammed on message boards and other blogs and yet 3-4 people walked out of here so far this week without a copy. I'd like to review it and find out just what has fans jumping back on, but I never got to read it. I guess I'll find out next week when the re-orders show up.
The backstock sale is moving along better than I'd hoped too. You guys really like a bargain I guess because the A-E section of the bins looks like a ghost town right now and the sale runs to Sunday. Some people are just picking out prestige format Batman's ( great stuff that's hard to justify paying $6-$8 for) while 1 guy took a near full run of Batgirl's home with him.The section with titles starting with F-L goes to a buck each starting Tuesday October 30Th. Fantastic Four, Hulk, Legion, and more for a dollar a piece.
Now the real work starts, refilling those empty bins with fresh stock.

SALE TIME

Speaking with a customer the other day, the subject of sales came up. He mentioned his favourite all time sale was the Alphabet backstock sale I did a few years ago. Basically a different section of the bins would be on sale each week. This gives the customer a smaller section to concentrate on when making his/her purchases as well as plan ahead for the titles they might be most interested in. This works well for me too, as it gives me time to update the bins at a more leisurely pace as the sale progresses.
So, an Alphabet sale it is. Starting Tuesday October 23rd – Sunday October 29th, all titles in the main bins (in the center of the store) starting with the letters A-B-C–D and E, will be going for the low price of $1.00 each. That’s right, all Avengers, Batman, Captain America, Daredevil, and others in that section will be $1.00 each + tax. Remember that my bins are mostly sorted by character rather than title so that Amazing Spiderman or Action would be in the S section.
Each Tuesday the sale will move to the next section for one week, so next up will be all the titles from F-L. Each week’s sale will be listed clearly in store and I will follow up here on the blog every Sunday.
MEMBERS BONUS- To make the sale even more special for the members (and to make up for the lack of a discount card this time around) for every $10.00 spent on backstock during the sale, you will receive a $1.00 credit towards paperbacks. You can use this credit right away, or save it up until the end of the sale. Remember that Customer Appreciation Day is the last weekend in November, lots of great deals will be made even better when using the credit you earned during the backstock sale.

HALLOWEEN COMICS BUNDLES

Its that time of year again when the ghouls and goblins(and probably a few Paris's and Britneys) will be showing up at your door looking for something good to eat. Tell 'em what I say,"Its better to rot your brain than your teeth". Give those little monsters a comic instead of candy and help spread the joy of reading.
Once again I'm selling packs of comics for the low cost of only 10 for $1.00, thats 10 of the same comic(all Free comic day editions) for 10 cents a piece. Cheaper than sweets and better for them. Choose from Little Archie, Sonic, Legion, Spiderman,Marvel Advs,+ a few others. They went fast last year and quantities are limited, so buy what you need early.

THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY DELAY

Due to the Thanksgiving Holiday Monday October 8th, the regular comic delivery will be delayed till Thursday that week.
