Hey, Folks!
Nothing much new to report this week although I finally feel like I am getting somewhat caught up with my work here in the store. At the end of the day, I’ve realized that what I have needed to do the whole time was separate my duties between what I can do at home and what has to be done at the store. Once I rearranged my schedule to accommodate those requisites then everything just snapped into place and things started to get done. You may have noticed that I have been making a whirlwind of posts on Facebook showing a bunch of the new back issues that I have been coaxing out of the Jersey collection, but understand that for every book I spotlight online there are plenty more going out into the back issue boxes that are similar if not quite as pricey as the ones I show you online.
Also, there are a TON of Dollar Boxes that have started to queue up in the back room which explains why I decided to have a little sale on them. For the month of August, all of the Dollar Boxes will be magically transformed into 2 for a $1 boxes! That’s right…50 cents a piece for the month just as a self defense measure so that Brian and I don’t get buried by a mountain of Dollar Box comics stacked up precariously in the back room. We will see where we are at the end of the month. I am not quite at the halfway point on the Jersey collection so I may need to extend the Dollar Box sale into September. Like I said, we will see where we end up!
Also, you may have noticed that we have had to put more back issue display boxes on the floor. Obviously this is because of the massive influx of back issues from Jersey. This may create the need for a big back issue sale in either September or October. Again it will mostly depend on where we are and how much space I need to clear to make room for the new stock. Stay tuned, Folks, and keep your want lists updated!
That’s it for me today. I have some FOC work to finish today, including my first FOC order for Image material through Lunar, and I really want to dive right in to the next box from the Jersey collection and see if anything of interest turns up rather than more Dollar Books. Stay tuned to Facebook today to see what I discover next!
