Powers 14 cover price misprint...

[justjeffery]

From the Marvel mailer...

*Powers #14 (JUN052044D) was printed with a $3.95 cover price, not $2.95 as solicited and intended. However, retailers will be invoiced at the original $2.95 cover price.

Dont let your shop over charge you!

[Disney-Owned Corpse]

Scandal!

[David]

thanks for the heads up

[Dannñ B]

I will be sure to remember this.

[DrMachine]

fuck...I wonder how many people are going to get cheated with this

[DanLTaylor]

Oh. Didn't we tell you. Powers is now an IDW title. ;-)

[Mike Storniolo]

I'll let my shop know tomorrow, they definitley wouldn't have made the connection. Thanks Jeff!

[BENDIS!]

i know. this sucks ass!!!! sorry to any and everyone. total eff up.

[Jonny Z]

i know. this sucks ass!!!! sorry to any and everyone. total eff up.

hypothetical question for you... and stay with me- i go fast-

you know how you have your money back guarantee and everything? lets say i bought 1,000 copies of powers #14 and the retailer sells each one to me at $2.95 and i absolutely hate it- it insults every bit of my intelligence (don't laugh) and leaves me wishing i was somewhere better- like high pitch eric's apartment- does that mean i could ask for my money back? (and since cover price is $3.95, i make a cool $1,000 profit :cool: )

i know. this sucks ass!!!! sorry to any and everyone. total eff up.It wasnt your fault and It doesnt happen much. it will get fixed and we still get the book we want.

you're fired.

[Michael John Wheeler]

Jeff, is the Canadian price right, or do I fight there too?

And exactly how do I approach my retailer to punch it in at the right price? I don't want to come off as a dick...

Didn't say anything about the Canadian price...

[justjeffery]

How about this? If you're comic shop hooks you up and treats you well, give them the buck! In this business, every dollar counts...

But if they suck, demand to pay regular price... tell them to read their Marvel Mailer if they want proof... I can forward it to anyone that needs it.

[comicbookink]

We're on top of it!

(we're going to charge the Canadian Price, anyway...see if anyone notices)

[Patton]

i'm so paying that extra dollar.

I don't want to come off like a dick because he'll stop ordering indie books for me.

Last week he fucking put my Nightfisher on the shelf. Good thing no one grabbed it.

[St.-]

Oh. Didn't we tell you. Powers is now an IDW title. ;-)

I don't even want to think about prose by Bendis. ;-)

goddamn jew...

I keed, I keed, I'm Jewish...

[dEnny!]

Thanks Bendis! My shop will appreciate the extra profit. ;)

Heck, I'd pay $5 for POWERS... :shock: um...ignore that last part. :scared:

[Simpson]

Someone make sure Shwicaz sees this, STAT!

[jza1218]

Yeah, just tell your retailer and there shouldn't be a hassle. I just called my co-workers who work tomorrow to charge $2.95 for the book in case they aren't informed.

Thanks. I just wonder if I'm to passive to say anything about it it my comic book dealer tries to screw me over.

[dEnny!]

I'm going with yes.

You could just print this information off and hand it to him like a tool. :p

Just take your business elsewhere if it gets to this point. If your retailer is that much of a jerk that he can't honor a price that HE was charged for, then he doesn't deserve your business.

I won't print it off, but I'll probably mention it, just to prove you all wrong.

The only problem is that I'd be payihng $5.15 for a normal issue.

But I won't complain about this anymore until I actually get charged that.

[Thomas Mauer]

Oh. Didn't we tell you. Powers is now an IDW title. ;-)
Hahaha!

Wait, that'd mean better paper. Make it so, Dan. :D

[Los]

Damn...my shop is going to try to rip me off...I just know it.

[Fourthman]

I just got into a fight with my local guy about this. Nobody wins in an argument about a dollar.

If my LCS gives me any grief, he'll be down one customer and about $250 per month.

[PeteL]

Fuck. I paid $3.95. I even mentioned to the clerk at my shop: "Powers cover price went up, eh?"

To which he responded..."Yeah. I haven't read the letters page yet so I'm don't know about that."

What the fuck did that mean? I wish I saw this thread before I went today. How'd I miss it?

[JoshuaFialkov]

And here I was thinking, "I can totally put the price up on my comics now." :( ;)

[BENDIS!]

honestly, print this out and show it to your guy next week and he'll give you your money back. he wasn;t charged for a 3.95 book.

so sorry guys. i don;t profit one cent from this mis print.

I'm gonna print this up, and take it with me to my shop on Friday. Thanks.

[Jef UK]

Shit. Too late. Aw well. Drop in the bucket, really.

[David]

thank you jeffery and thank you bendis board. my shop was gonna charge me the wrong price but i told them to check here about the right price. they did and gave me a free copy of kaopte in kansas for pointing it out to them.....THANK YOU!!!

[Ashton]

I brought this up at my lcs and the owner was totally cool about it. after he confirmed that he only payed for the $2.95 rate he actually felt bad that he overcharged people.

[jza1218]

You gotta great store dude. Never leave them

[antithesis]

yeah i ended up paying the $5.15. i even mentioned it at the register cause it seemed weird that the price went up. don't mind paying the $5.15 if bendis, oeming and crew see their share.. but since not, i'll see if i can get myself a buck thirty discount next time i go in.

[David]

You gotta great store dude. Never leave them

i kinda have to stay with them, i've been thrown out of all the other stores in the area

[jza1218]
