Mile High Comics Closing 56th Ave. Warehouse - ALL Books on Sale
Howdy!
As many of you already are aware, Marijuana possession was legalized here in Colorado
four years ago. I supported that decriminalization, if for no other reason than I think
that the government and law enforcement have far better things to do than to hassle
people who want to smoke weed. The new statewide tax revenues that we are collecting
on pot sales are also quite nice, as they have helped to balance the Colorado budget.
All of those considerations pale, however, in comparison to what the change in the
pot law has done for
Mile High Comics.
To explain, we do not have the slightest connection with marijuana sales at our company.
What we do own, however, are two huge warehouses filled with comics and books. By pure
happenstance, both of our buildings are legally zoned for commercial pot-growing operations.
Buildings with that zoning here in Colorado have exploded in value over the past 48 months,
more than doubling in market value. While pot growers still cannot legally open bank accounts,
they have become the most active buyers of commercial warehouse buildings in Denver, usually
showing up with sacks of cash.
MILE HIGH 56th Ave. Warehouse
I mention the above because it is the direct cause of my reaching the decision late last week to
finally go ahead and put our 56th Ave. headquarters building on the market. After 29 years of
ownership, I simply could no longer ignore the stunning market appreciation caused by the change
in the pot laws. In a nutshell, we can now sell the smaller of our two buildings for triple what
we paid, thus injecting over a million dollars of fresh working capital into Mile High Comics.
Given that our sales representative just closed on a similar building two weeks ago (at the same
price as we are asking...), and that he had nine other bidders for that structure, we have little
doubt that we will be needing to move out of 56th Ave. by March 31st.
This brings me back to the topic of the big changes that I mentioned in my Friday newsletter of last
week. Relocating everything in 56th Ave. is going to be the single most daunting physical task that
I have ever undertaken. During our 29 years of ownership, we have packed that building to the ceiling
with over six million!
back issue comics and magazines. All of those millions of comics (and the
shelves holding them), will need to be moved to
Jason St., over just the next 140 days. Suffice it
to say, I am going to be incredibly busy for the next five months.
So what do all of these changes mean for you? For starters, you can expect that I am going to be offering
you some insane discounting, as I will desperately need space. That process began in last Friday's newsletter,
when I began by offering you our immense inventory of 300,000+ comics
trade paperbacks, hardbacks, and graphic novels
at 50%-60%! off. If you have not yet checked out our price decreases on all
of the books listed on our
website, you should do so immediately. We are, quite literally, giving
away many of our backlist and out-of-print books right now at below our wholesale cost of replacement.
I will stop writing now in order to give you the opportunity to quickly visit our
website to score
some of the incredibly good book deals we have listed for you today. Simply put, we already know
that we will need every possible inch of shelf space in our books area to hold comics that we are
moving over from 56th Ave., so at least 10,000 of our books have to be sold during this week at
giveaway prices, and another 40,000 over the next two months. Decreasing our inventory of books
on hand is but the first of many painful accommodations that we anticipate being forced to implement
in order to facilitate the merging our two huge buildings into one. When this immense task is
completed it will create a genuinely wonderful outcome, but in the meantime, I have to admit
that I am seriously dreading the multitude of tasks that I have to coordinate over the next
five months.
Happy collecting!

President - Mile High Comics, Inc.

P.S. Today's steep discount book sale applies to ALL of our books, excluding only a few new releases
and some oversize editions. While all of our
Marvel and
DC titles are included, what I think you might
find most attractive is that all of the
STAR WARS titles that we currently have in stock from the
Dark Horse
era are also discounted at 60% off. All remaining STAR WARS inventory in Dark Horse's
warehouse was destroyed on each of these titles after they lost their license to Marvel in January,
so this may well be your last chance to pick up many of these cool
STAR WARS titles at such delightfully
steep discounts. Enjoy!
