The big decision this week is whether I
use the FOC to order enough copies to qualify
for Marvel's discounts. Avengers #1, and
Secret Avengers #1, if I order a certain amount
I would get an extra 5% off of all Marvel comics
that week.
I was going to do it, without thinking.
Then I did the math, and I'd have to order
twice as much as I'm likely to sell, and that
would be cut by about half by the discount.
So, I'm over-ordering, even if I sell the variant
cover, which is by no means a sure thing.
But....I could put a #1 Avengers on every Marvel
shelf as an 'optional' choice, and if even half of
them give it a try, I'd break even.
It's a way to try to grow the customer base.
Except it's the same customer base with added comics.
Oh, what to do. What to do?
