Local News 50%-60% Off Books and Comics - Moving Auction On Saturday Howdy! The past week has been a blur of excitement here at Mile High Comics. Our announcement early last week that we were going to consolidate our online operations into our huge Jason St. Mega-Store building set off a firestorm of unexpected media attention. Little did I know that when I attributed our decision to consolidate to pot growers fueling a rapid market appreciation in Denver-area industrial properties that our decision would attract so much media interest. Life can be very strange... While the news media's reports contributed to this past week being very crazy, the real catalyst was my decision to put into effect the largest book and comics sale in our 46-year history. Ever since I announced that all of our trade paperbacks and graphic novels were on sale at 60% off (along with all of our hardback collections and back issue comics at half price), we have been swamped with business, both online, and at all three of our retail stores. That outpouring of support from everyone is very much appreciated, as it will help us a great deal in covering the considerable funding needs of the move of our huge online inventory (and offices) into Jason St. Thank you! As regards where we are today, I want to mention first that we are NOT closing our Mega-Store. No matter how clearly I tried to express that point in my numerous interviews, that incorrect impression somehow remained in the minds of some folks. The reality is that we are going to be moving all six million of our online back issue comics and magazines into Jason St. over the next five months, thus making them immediately available for shoppers at the store. This is something that I have wanted to do for years, but have just not had the time, energy, or money to accomplish. Not only will this consolidation be great for our visitors, but it will also save us the $10,000 in operating costs we were accruing keeping 56th Ave. open. This move will be a pain in the tush, but it really is a win-win for everyone! I do also want to make clear that our huge sale on our book and comics is still in effect for you, at least through this upcoming weekend. The revenues we have generated to this point will cover at least half of our moving costs, but I am not letting up until I feel that we are completely covered. Then I can start renting trucks and hiring temporary workers... Finally, I did want everyone to know that we will be hosting the first of our moving auctions this weekend. We typically have our first Jason St. Mega-Store Christmas gift and toy auction about this time of year, so that will (indeed) be the primary focus of Saturday's auction. In addition, however, I also plan to bring in at least 200 extra collectibles that have been secreted away on hidden shelves in our 56th Ave. building for many years. Now that we're moving, everything must go, so I am making this auction especially diverse and generous. Bring the entire family on Saturday, as there will be fun items for everyone! The auction will begin at 11:30 AM, with free refreshments and Christmas cookies for all... Happy collecting! Chuck Rozanski, President - Mile High Comics, Inc. November 17, 2015 P.S. Below are some of the traditional auction lots for Saturday's event. As you can see, there will be plenty of comics in the auction, including some very nice variants and Silver Age issues.
