Is Coming Your Way In July !

Feedback , the new comic book written by Stan Lee hits the stands in July 2007 !

It is the long awaited comic book about the winner of the Sci-Fi Channel TV Show  'Who Wants To Be A Superhero?'.

The one-shot comic will be published by Dark Horse Comics and will have a $3.99 tag. 

For retailers, now is the time to be placing orders with your distributor for this comic book. The buzz is that this upcoming comic book could be a good   'gamble' with a potential cash-in.

Since it is an 'independent comic,' (not one of the big two publishers Marvel or DC),  the initial print run will probably be a low number.

If it becomes sought after,due to the number of viewers that watched the first series, then it could be one of those 'Instant collectibles'.

NEW POLL !     Who is YOUR Favorite Spider-Man MOVIE Villain?

(NOTE: THE BELOW IS A REPOSTING OF OUR ORIGINAL BLOG POST OF 05-12-07)

OK, I gotta admit it.... this was a TV show that I made Tina sit through the first few episodes before we both started liking it.  

I thought the premise was good, my family's roots are in Kansas, and that there was enough of a bond to a few early characters to carry us through the season.  

It did, even though the show went on one of those new 'hiatuses' where everything stops and then you have to pick up the pieces again. There were 11 episodes in the first part of the season. 

Unfortunately, it appears that the most of America that were watching the show didn't return after the hiatus! The show had a 'recapper' to bring those new to the show up to speed after returning, but that didn't help!

TV ratings hit a new low in early April, and I have not seen where it would be returning for a new season. The season finale ended with the town of Jericho being attacked by a neighboring town for its farmlands and salt mine.

This ending leaves with the thought that I personally am getting tired of being stranded at the end of these TV episodes, similiar to what happened to 'Invasion' TV show that ended last year. Add that to whatever happened to 'Surface' which went aired for 15 episodes and then went on hiatus for the 2006 Winter Olympics??!  It never came back....

Tina and I first discovered 'Lost' at the San Diego Comic Con at a special preview program, and immediately made mental note to follow it when it aired on TV that fall. TOO MANY TV shows are following the 'Lost' trend, but are too 'nichey' to succeed in the mainstream TV market. PLUS I have just about had it with 'Lost' this year... Thank God they finally agreed to the creators' requests to stop it after 5 years of airing! Maybe it can get back to  its' top form it had in the first season before losing its' way!

For those interested in TV shows like 'Jericho', 'Lost', 'Invasion', 'Surface', etc., we have several Movie and TV based comic books  or magazines in our eBay Featured  Store .  Just click on the link provided!

 I've HAD IT With All Of These Changes!

Last Night I could NO LONGER relist automatically in bulk from our expired store listings!  

This Morning I could NO LONGER bulk edit our active store listings to make changes!

The culprit as to why I could NO LONGER do either of the above functions has been traced to the SHIPPING changes made this week by USPS and  the shipping costs field by eBay and our having to adjust to those changes!

We previously offered two ways of shipping our Non-CGC graded comic books and magazines domestically, standard flat rate and Priority Mail. We had had a third option, media mail that several of our competitors still use, but OUR local USPS Post Master informed us that comic books, either old collectible comics or the latest ones off the newstands  contained 'advertising' and we could no longer do so, and his window clerks were informed not to accept any mail marked media from us without inspection, so that option was cut out a while back....

We also offered Flat Rate Priority Boxes for CGC graded encapsulated comic books that could only fit in the Priority Mail Box for protection while shipping and since USPS won't track those  boxes to International Customers unless upgraded to MUCH HIGHER PRICED services, we did not ship CGC encapsulated comics outside of USA .

We offered one shipping rate to Canada, and then arose the problem area, we had to use 'custom' shipping rates to choose selected countries that USPS would ship Global Flat Rate Priority Envelopes to! The USPS will not ship Global Flat Rate Envelopes to countries like Italy, etc... so we had to limit or 'customize' our shipping options! 

Thus We CANNOT bulk edit 'custom' shipping, each listing must be done INDIVIDUALLY !  We used to have 6,500+ listings in our eBay store until last summer when the store fee hikes went up from 2 cents a month to 5 or 10 cents a month.... we are now down to approx 2,000 or less at any one time now!   And thank goodness we did that previously!  We did set up an eBay Pro Store web site, but that is a different story for another time!  

NOW WE HAVE TO INDIVIDUALLY change each and every active and expired listing we have.  I've had it with all these changes.... FROM NOW ON we have only rate, a flat rate that we can BULK EDIT when the next shipping change comes, (early 2008 is what is proposed) !!!  A 'standard flat rate shipping' charge, and we will send the comics that are ordered whatever shipping service is best for our customer and stays within the shipping charge range.

AND NO SHIPPING CHARGE listed for international buyers.  The potential buyer will have to email us for their country's  individual rate, or see our eBay store header for rates where I just edited the text within the character limits field. We will list the International rates  anywhere that future changes can be changed by bulk edit or just ONE edit area like the store header!

I would almost not mess with International shipments any more, because of eBay's previous changes, where eBay stores listings no longer are automatically on other eBay sites outside of eBay.com, our sales to our UK, Canada and Australia buyers have dropped dramatically since that change!  And don't get me started on how eBay store listings can hardly be found on a normal search by a potential buyer!

For those reading this blog post and thinking I am upset that is the right assumption to make!  However I am rolling with the flow as always.... and changing our Business Plan once again! A Business Plan that has changed way toooo many times in the last three years with all the changes from eBay, and the USPS!
