Shortage Question

I just received a shortage notice from DCBS. I've received a few over the years. I was curious how shortages / allocations work in a preorder industry. I pre-ordered Generations Thor before the FOC. All the shops, including DCBS placed there order with Diamond. Marvel then printed the order plus som...

Re: DCBS Monthly Shipments

Wow... Friday night and DCBS still hasn't shipped my week 1 order. Maybe they'll mail it next week? Oh well, no hurry... hurricane Irma hits my area on Monday at 3:00 am. Switching to Kowabunga Comics :)

Re: Marvel Boycott Brewing Against Lenticular Tiers

I was disappointed that you sounded a LOT like a Marvel apologist for these kinds of shenanigans on episode 394 of Comics For Fun & Profit. At least that's how it sounded. The "meet or exceed" ordering incentive variants are compelling a lot of shops to over-order these kinds of books...

Re: DCBS Monthly Shipments

yep the shipments havent been consistent, they take their sweet time responding to emails too and are awful with FOC, and of course you cant call them...think they got too big and cant keep up with the customer service That's what I'm thinking too. I know you switched from DCBS recently, I think? y...

Re: DCBS Monthly Shipments

Agree... not a big deal, just wondered if it was an effort to push us to most frequent shipping? It does hit me with the monthly previews episodes. I just like going through the old fashioned catalog before recording my recommendations. I guess I'll just have to put in a little more work with the el...

DCBS Monthly Shipments

Hey CBP members. I have been using DCBS for about 3 years now. I originally received my monthly shipments on the last weekend in the month. DCBS sent out a letter about a year ago asking people to voluntarily switch shipping weeks, I think they were getting back logged. I switched to week 1 so, I re...

Re: Possible Podcast Topic

Same problem I'm having... I'm going to have to just pick a month and go and add in read items into the organized backlog. I love my comics but, keeping up is a chore :)

Re: Possible Podcast Topic

I'm debating where to make that cutoff to organize my collection now. I may just take the 32 long boxes I have and organize those into drawerboxes. It sounds like this is what you may have done at one point. I am thinking then about waiting until I fill up 10 - 15 longboxes before ogranizing that sm...

Re: 10 Years Later...

Congratulations on the upcoming mile marker. I've only been on board for 5 years. I would go with a combination Q&A and roundtable discussion. You could also include some fun facts / tidbits: 1. how your collection has grown from 10 years ago 2. market trends / sales from 2007 compared to 2017 3...

Possible Podcast Topic: Organizing Your Collection

Hi John & forum members, I am having a bit of a dilemma on my hands in regards to organizing my collection. I currently have about 12,000 comics / graphic novels. I am curious how John and others on the forum manage large collections. I used to sort alphabetical but, now I just have each long bo...

Bankshot Comic DCBS

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to let all of you know that "Bankshot #1" from Dark Horse comics seems to be missing from the DCBS website. I know it was just picked by someone to read in the previews spotlight podcast. I emailed DCBS about this already, I just wanted to let everyone know!
