About Us

Howdy! I apologize for being AWOL from writing this newsletter for the past week, but circumstances conspired against me during my latest foray to California. Simply put, I was a mere 135 miles from my final destination (the LA Wholesale Toy Market) on Tuesday of last week, when the fuel pump on my cargo van finally gave up the ghost after 366,000 miles. Breaking down in the Mojave Desert is never any fun, but on this particular afternoon the thermometer in Baker read 105 degrees. Yow!
Long story a bit shorter, my van had to be towed into Barstow, and then I waited for two days in a cheap motel for the part to be delivered. I was finally back on the road (and shopping for cool Manga and Anime merchandise in LA) by Thursday afternoon, filling up my huge van to the ceiling by Friday, at noon. My next adventure began when I then tried to leave LA. My journey eastward on I-10 (which is oftentimes a nightmare) proved smooth and easy, but when I connected to the I-15 headed Northeastward toward Denver, I hit the worst congestion that I have ever experienced on that normally placid roadway. It turns out that I was right in the middle of a mass Friday exodus from LA to Las Vegas, which we believe was aggravated in part by people wanting to place bets on the initial World Cup games. It was absolutely nuts out there, with innumerable crazed people tailgating and weaving in and out of traffic at very high speeds.
By the time that I finally made it past Las Vegas (five hours later), my nerves were totally shot. I generally love long-distance driving, but those insane gambling addicts (and their super-aggressive driving) made my life such a misery that I decided on the spot that I would swear off any more business trips for the rest of the summer. Once I finally made it back home on Saturday, I began calling all of my friends on the East Coast, letting them know that I was cancelling my NYC trip for this month. I may well reschedule and drive there in the early fall, but for right now I am taking a break from long distance driving. None of what I have just written actually applies to anyone who reads this newsletter, except for those who might have been considering having me stop by their home to consider purchasing their collection while I was on the East Coast. If you are among those few hopefuls, I apologize to you for delaying my journey, but after my nightmare journey out west, I need definitely some recovery time, first. I appreciate your understanding.
The goods news from all of this traveling difficulty is that I am going to be able to spend the next six weeks doting on my truly awesome doggie girl, Nicky. This will be the first time during her lifetime (5 years) that I have not been traveling on Midsummer, so this summer sabbatical of mine will be a very special treat for her. The second bit of good news is that Will Moulton has just been killing it over the past couple of weeks in terms of purchasing collections in our Jason St. Mega-Store. Pam is still on vacation, so Will has been handling the entire purchasing load by himself, sometimes looking at collections for hours at a time. There are always some collections that consist of either of common material, or where the asking price is simply too high, but in general, Will has been buying a goodly percentage of what is being offered to us.
The net effect of Will's purchasing is that we have completely restocked most of our Pop Culture genre areas, as well as adding a great many cool back issues. So many comics and toys have been sold to us, in fact, that Will was easily able to put together a wonderful no-minimum-bid auction for this Saturday without any real effort just by selecting out some of the redundancies from his recent purchases. If you would like to place a pre-bid in our Saturday auction, write to Lynne@milehighcomics.com. She's covering for Pam during this auction. About a dozen pre-bids won in our last auction, so it is well worth contacting Lynne. Well, that's it for today. I'll close with a quick reminder that our 70% off THANKYOU! codeword sale remains in effect for you on all of our ten million+ back issue comics and magazines listed on our website. Only new issues, a few variants and restored comics, and our professionally-graded items are excluded. Sadly, our THANKYOU! sale will need to be ending in early July, so we are in the home stretch of this very generous offer. 'Nuff said. Happy collecting!
