50% Off Codeword Extended - $4,000 STAR WARS Variant Howdy! After a couple of years of relative calm, the wind is blowing up to 100 mph this morning here at our farm in Boulder. This wake-up call from Mother Nature is profound, as a particularly savage gust ripped apart one of the three roofs on our 11,000 square foot greenhouse that we use to grow our seedlings. Our greenhouse is currently dormant, but we clearly have a substantial repair bill upcoming. Insurance will cover a portion of our loss, but because hurricane-force winds occur every couple of years around here, our insurance company limits their liability to just a fraction of the actual replacement cost of a roof. Sigh... Greehouse Roof I am making you aware of our family's sudden loss because it was the catalyst for my changing my mind this morning about ending our 50% off MOVINGDAY! codeword sale this week. Simply put, our decision to offer you all of our books at 50%-60% off and all of our back issue comics and magazines at half of their listed prices has been enormously successful, with our sales this week running at 500%! of previous levels. That huge increase in our sales volume has put us about a week behind in shipping, but also brightened everyone's spirits enormously, as we can now fund most of the initial costs of consolidating our online operations into our Jason St. Mega-Store. All of the above having been said, I made the decision this morning to extend our 50% off MOVINGDAY! sale for you until next Monday. If you have not yet taken advantage of the incredibly generous discounts provided by the MOVINGDAY! codeword, I encourage you to do so right away. Not only are all of our back issue comics and magazines discounted for you at half price when you utilize the codeword, but our 250,000 trade paperbacks and hardbacks are on sale to you at 50%-60% off, with those discounted book prices posted for you right on our website. As those of you who have shopped with us for many years can easily attest, this is the single most generous offering in our 46-year history as a company... Moving on to other news, I wanted to pass on to you a sign of the incredible robustness of the market for all of Marvel's STAR WARS (2015) editions. Just yesterday morning our friend, Dennis Barger, of QuickStop and Wonderworld comic, in Michigan sold his only copy of the incredibly limited Zdarsky Black & White Variant edition of STAR WARS: VADER DOWN #1 on eBay for slightly under $4,000! Can you believe a brand new comic book sold for FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS? What is even more remarkable is that $4,000 may actually prove to be low, as the only way that any retailer could receive a copy of this ultra-rare variant was to purchase 4,999 copies! of STAR WARS: VADER DOWN #1 (at a cost of approximately $10,500) As a result, this one variant will probably turn out to be the single rarest Marvel STAR WARS comic book ever published. It is rumored by Bleedingcool to only be 12 total copies worldwide! VADER DOWN #1 ZDARSKY BLACK & WHITE VARIANT At this point I am certain that you are wondering if we received a copy of this ultra-rare STAR WARS:VADER DOWN #1 variant. Yes, we did, but only a single copy. Ours is up on eBay right now in an auction that will end tomorrow afternoon. In all honesty, I would have strongly have preferred to have kept this incredibly cool comic for my personal collection, but with our greenhouse roofs blowing away and six million comics to move, I simply do not have that luxury right now. Suffice it to say, I will be very curious to see if our auction ends at above the $3,999 Buy-It-Now price that Dennis set. VADER DOWN #1 MILE HIGH For those of you who cannot afford to play in the rarefied world of ultra-rare variants, we do have far more affordable options available for you. Our own Mile High Comics STAR WARS: VADER DOWN #1 variant edition is now available for immediate shipping, and is priced at only $24.95. All of our other Mile High Comics STAR WARS (2015) #1-#12 variant editions (as well as our awesome STAR WARS: PRINCESS LEIA #1-#5 variants) are still in stock, although our remaining supplies on several are now well under 1,000 copies each. The new movie is releasing in just 32 days, so I expect that the demand from one billion! worldwide STAR WARS fans is going to obliterate our supply of variants in very short order. Nuff said. I will close today's newsletter with a quick mention that in addition to keeping our 50% off MOVINGDAY! codeword sale in effect through Monday, we will also be hosting the first of our inventory liquidation auctions at our Jason St. Mega-Store this Saturday morning. The auction begins at 11:30 AM, and will feature (in addition to the 500 comics and toys already posted to our Mile High Comics FaceBook page) all sorts of collectibles that we've had stashed at our main warehouse for decades. If you are in the Denver area on Saturday, stop by 4600 Jason St. for a really good time. We'll have free refreshments, and lots of Holiday cookies for the kids. Happy collecting!
