May 6, 2012 12:51 am Well, I'm not one who cares for games. I think if all the comics were supposed to be equally free, despite the "value" people put on some of them, then, the stores should distribute them as such. To answer your question, I didn't realize some stores were playing these games to string people along and limit what they could get, in hopes of getting bigger profits. I do realize profits and a bigger customer base are the point of FCBD, but, let's keep it simple, folks. The more variety of free comics you give one person, in the true spirit of it, the more chances you will have of selling a bigger variety of comics to the same customer later. I was lucky in that I was one of the first customers in the store I went to, and the first thing they said was, " Please feel free to take as many and whatever you want, but please also only take one of each, because some quantities are limited." To answer the question, that's my favorite method. First come, first served, unlimited, but one a peice, and on the honor system. I know my experience today will have me going back to that store every week. And, just from the 6 out of 40+ comics I have read so far, that I got free today, I am already adding 3 to my weekly list. That's 1/2. And I still have those 35+ more to go. Bottom line, don't underestimate the power of free samples. Give them freely, with no strings, and I promise you, you will sell more later. Also, shame on those people who have already put their free comics on Ebay to sell. You know who you are. I think that's shameful and greedy, and one of the reasons the stores are playing those games. You took a free gift, and meant to profit from it. TACKY!! If you're not getting the comics for yourself or your family, then don't take them. I'll shut up now. Thanks!
May 5, 2012 3:28 pm I went downtown first thing as soon as the store opened, and I was able to pick up everything listed above EXCEPT Buffy and the Peanuts flip comic, which I really wanted. BUT, I am SO happy with what I got, and I got something for everyone in my family. So, all in all, a really great FCBD, and a big thanks to the store owners for their generosity and the awesome customer service, even though I didn't buy much, because I had already picked up my normal order Wednesday. But, they understood that, and were great! THANKS!!!
