comic lounge rocks!
So, yeah. I opened an online comic books store. thecomiclounge.com (I forgot the HTML tag for web links... I know.. Bad puppy). It opened in February and its still a work in progress.
I decided to open a spot at one of our lovely flea markets because I was tired of sitting on inventory. That was in April. We are finally getting the business I wanted. At least the spot pays for itself. Sorta. Right now I'm working on getting more saver accounts. We have 4 total now. Its über exciting!
Yesterday was a fun day. I made the most money on a Saturday ever! And! Without one bloody DC comic sold. Seriously... Not one... All the books I sold where Marvel. Even my t-shirts I sold went DC. What gives? When I asked this hottie who was buying the whole Secret Invasion set, why did he not pick Final Crisis! He said "because
the whole 52 earth thing hurts my head and I can't afford their spin off titles they can't seem to put into their main books"...
Damn.
Wake up DC! Every month you're the #2 selling publisher... Stop with the exhausting cross overs and random tie in's and get back to basics!
FYI... I heart Final Crisis #2... Don't mess it up, please?
