Half Price Comics Sale Ends Next Week Howdy! After several weeks of disruption caused by our recent move of our warehouse operations out of 56th Ave., life is starting to return to normal here at Mile High Comics. I just checked with Lynne, and she believes that all orders from prior to our move have now been invoiced, and most of those April orders have also been packed and shipped. Lynne is working this afternoon on orders that we received just last week, so our remaining backlog is now quickly melting away. That makes me very happy! The one factor that might impede our getting caught up by the end of next week is that Pam and Will are starting to add large quantities of choice back issue comics into our New-In-Stock links. We had a computer glitch mess up the program that updates our inventory yesterday, but when the program finally ran this morning it registered a whopping 2,800 individual items added into New-In-Stock since Tuesday. That's not any kind of record for us, but it certainly is reflective of the fact that we are getting back on track with our processing of collections. That having been said, we are now experiencing a sudden surge in orders due to all these comics being added. While we can certainly make good use of that revenue to help cover our moving expenses, those additional orders will also make it just a little harder for us to completely catch up. It is also worth mentioning that Will noted in our staff meeting today that over half of the comics that he added to our website inventory yesterday had previously been out-of-stock. Suffice it to say, I am delighted that we are expanding our selections for you again. In other news, our 50% off TRUCKLOAD! codeword sale will need to end next Thursday, at noon. I have kept this extremely generous half price back issue sale in effect for the past six weeks, primarily to help compensate those of you who were inconvenienced by our slow shipping of orders during our move. With that backlog of orders now melting away, however, it is time for us to stop giving away even our best back issues at half price. Simply put, my #1 goal for the rest of 2016 will be for us to greatly expand our online inventory. It is an unfortunate reality, however, that we cannot make as much progress in adding comics into our inventory during our steep discount codeword sales, as we constantly have to shift staff members from inventory over to help our fulfillment crew keep up. With over 100,000 much-needed comics waiting to be graded right now, the reality is that I really need my inventory team back. 'Nuff said. I will close out today's newsletter with some special offers for you. First, without my knowledge Will Moulton cut off orders on the complete sets of all 51 of this year's Free Comic Book Day editions. Will thought that we had sold them all, but that's because he did not know about the 5 extra sets that I had stashed away in the ICRME booth at the end of Saturday's benefit sale. These 5 complete FCBD sets are the last ones that we have, however, so if you want one be sure and order it today. A complete set of 51 issues is only $40, plus shipping. Another special that I can offer you today is a NM copy of the original SUPERMAN VS. MUHAMMAD ALI treasury edition. We had some antiques dealers walking in with four of these gems that came from the attic of an abandoned house in Idaho. They are beautiful NM copies! Only $149.95 each, plus shipping. SUPERMAN VS. MUHAMMAD ALI TREASURY ALL-NEW COLLECTORS EDITION #56 Finally, when I was cleaning out one of our secure areas in the 56th ave. building last month I came across a 10-pack of of NM copies of the ultra-rare TOMB RAIDER/THE DARKNESS SPECIAL #1. Originally offered only to the members of the Top Cow Publishing fan club, this special edition was produced in tiny numbers, and is now long out-of-print. If you would like a copy of this scarce collectible, you can order one today for only $4.95. That's one heck of a deal... TOMB RAIDER/DARKNESS TOPCOWSTORE.COM EXCLUSIVE Happy collecting! Chuck Rozanski, President - Mile High Comics, Inc. May 13, 2016 P.S. I did want to quickly mention that, while most aspects of our move have now been worked out, we are still experiencing problems with our phone lines. The primary company that services the Jason St. area (CenturyLink) is telling us that they are upgrading their lines in this area to 10-gig fiber right now. That process should be completed in 60 days. In the meantime, however, they are not being helpful about installing the additional phone lines that we need immediately, or providing us with any measure of speedy Internet service. If you do try to call us, please understand that you may need to call back, as we only have two incoming lines right now. Believe me, we're all very frustrated by this lack of progress on what should have been a simple request. Sigh... Current Newsletter
