Valiant 2013: Harbinger Wars FCBD Special

THE ORDER AND PAYMENT IS DUE THIS WEEKEND!
I would have given you all more time but this didn't become a possibility until Thursday, Feb. 14th!

FINAL IMAGE TO BE DETERMINED
*** CURRENT DESIGN SHOWING ***


HERE'S HOW TO ORDER:

$240 WILL GET YOU 300 COPIES (ONE CASE) SHIPPED IN THE U.S.

These will arrive in sealed cases of 300 copies direct from the distributor.
I WILL NOT BE OPENING THESE CASES OF 300.
I WILL BE SENDING THEM TO OTHER BOARD MEMBERS WHO CAN DISTRIBUTE
THE BOOKS AS THEY CHOOSE --- SEE CASE UPDATES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST
They will be shipped from Diamond Distributors to a local comic shop.
I will then put a new shipping label on these boxes and send them out to you when they arrive (May 4th).

The 300 books for $240 works out to $0.80 per book:
$0.25 per book is the retailer cost to order
$0.52 per book for shipping TWICE (from Diamond to me, from me to you)
$0.03 per book for payment fees (PayPal)
The case of 300 books will be around 45 pounds each.

THE ORDER AND PAYMENT IS DUE THIS WEEKEND!
I would have given you all more time but this didn't become a possibility until Thursday, Feb. 14th!

SO...

If you want 300 books, REPLY IN THIS TOPIC AND PREPAY AT LEAST $160 via PayPal. ($240 to pay in full.)
I can't spot you guys the money... I need to at least cover the cost to get them to me.
You can pay the other $80 to get them shipped to you later, but it will be $160 to get the case to me.

If you want less than 300 books... CHECK THE BOTTOM OF THIS TOPIC for those who will be selling from their cases!
I'm SURE that you guys can figure out how to combine your money to buy a case for one person in the group.
PM each other, PAY each other, and ONE PERSON from your group send me at least $160 via PayPal. ($240 to pay in full.)

If anyone wants to keep their order private, that's fine, but I still need a PM and PAYMENT for each case.

I'm not trying to be difficult, but we're talking about (LITERALLY) a ton of comic books here...
I'd like to make this as easy on the retailer and myself as possible. What happens with each case
once you receive it is COMPLETELY UP TO YOU... if someone wants to package individual books to sell,
that's awesome, but I just don't have the time to ship out that many books in early May.


PAYMENT IS DUE BY SUNDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 17th
IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID AT LEAST $160 BY SUNDAY NIGHT
I CAN'T ORDER THE BOOKS FOR YOU.

HELP EACH OTHER OUT... BUT NO ONE SHOULD FRONT THE MONEY FOR ANYONE ELSE.
THE BEST INTENTIONS AND TRUST DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK ON MESSAGEBOARDS.
WHOEVER IS RECEIVING THE CASE, GET PAID NOW. YOU MIGHT BE STUCK IF YOU DON'T.

COMBINE YOUR ORDERS, PICK A PERSON TO SEND ME $160 ($240 eventually)
AND I WILL SEND THAT PERSON AN UNOPENED CASE OF 300 BOOKS.
PAYPAL: greg@valiantfans.com

READY? GO!

$240.00 for something I can get for free???

[caxiotis]

Im kinda confused. This offer is only to buy 300 copies of a VEI FCBD issue for $240?

There is no option to get 1 copy, only 300 copies?

[greg]

$240.00 for something I can get for free???

You can get the regular edition for free.
You can get the ValiantFans.com editions for less than $1 each.

[greg]

It would be at least $5 to get 1 copy... pay for the book, pay for shipping to me, pay for shipping again to you.
It would also mean that I have to find TIME to ship individual issues to you guys.

Sorry, but I'm not doing it. There will be at least 3,000 copies of this book, so you can get one EVENTUALLY, but not one at a time from me.

If anyone wants to collect the money and get a case to distribute one book at a time, be my guest. (Be a hero!)

I've had enough of that kind of insanity from the 200+ flipbooks I picked up in Charlotte last year.
You guys don't understand how ridiculous it is to do that kind of work with a job, wife, toddler, and a hatred for manual labor.

I don't blame you...It's a bit rich for my blood, but a group of 3 chipping in $80 a piece for 100 books each seems like a decent deal...give them out as free-views, save them for con signings, line your hamster cage...

[greg]

LET ME BE CLEAR: I don't want $240 from anyone that can't afford it.

We don't need every member of this website to pay $240 to make this project happen.

We only need a few. We need a few guys to work together and split a case.
Half for $120, even 1/10th for $24. Work together.
It can be done, but it can't ALL be done by me.

I'm putting this opportunity out there... this website will have a REAL comic book out in the world.
We will have sponsored a ValiantFans.com edition of the Valiant 2013 Free Comic Book Day comic.

Or, if we don't get enough guys involved... we won't.

It's not up to me. It's up to US.

[hawkeyeps]

Hey Canada-

I can be the point man on this for Canada if you all trust me, how about we all try to go in on a case of 300 for us. I'll start by saying I'll take the whole case for $240 + whatever extra shipping to get to Canada.

The next guy who signs up we split it 2 ways, another guy 3 ways, another guy 4 ways etc. etc.

We'll do this up to 30 so everybody gets at least 10 each, if some copies are rough and some good every body will get a mix of good and bad.

If 30 of us are in it may be $10+ shipping from me to you (probably about $5-7) for 10 Vfan custom FCBD books, if it's less I'll pass it on. I'm happy to do this for no money

Once I get these books I will ship to you within Canada and you paypal me the shipping, shipping will be really good and as economical as possible. I know how much these books will mean to us

Say "I'm in" on this thread and send me a PM, whoever is in by Sunday gets however many books split however many ways.

Don't leave me hangin' Bros, I really don't need 300 copies of FCBD but I have faith in you all.

If others not in Canada like Bugsy, ShadowTuga or whoever want to get in that's cool I will ship where ever if you cover the shipping, I promise I will not charge a penny extra and my efforts are free and out of love for Valiant.

GO CANADA (and Portugal)

That's what I'm talking about! ValiantFans.com can show the industry you don't have to be a dealer to be a "big deal".

[FormerReader]

Can anyone educate me on shipping packages. What would you expect to pay to ship a box with 30 comics? I know Hawkeyeps said shipping would only be ~$10 for 10 issues. Based on my experience in shipping 1 comic I normally pay $4-$5.

It depends how far and how heavy. Or you can go with a prepaid container, but they are limited in terms of those same qualifiers in many cases.

[hawkeyeps]

I guess one way for me to do this would be to package up 10 comics and take it to the post office and get a quote to ship to where ever, I might even do this Saturday if some one really needed it. Again it's a leap of faith and that is what is required to make this happen. I can tell you this, I will charge to the penny to make it happen and no more.

One way or another I'm comitted to 300 of these things, help me out Bros!

The more of us that get on board the better it is, right now my nuts are in the wind like the Zircher cover for HW #1

[nonplayer]

I need time to think.

My nuts are as big as all out doors, don't let the Erica avatar fool you

Bugsy and Beyonder are already kicking the tires and the more that get on the board the more will get on board.

As I say I'm in either way, join us Bro and make it happen

[kjjohanson]

Based on my experience with shipping all the New York Comic Con TPBs, I'd say that 30 comics would probably fit in a medium flat rate box, which you could ship anywhere within the U.S. for about $11. (This is shipping cost only, and does not include money for supplies or the time involved.

I'd be point man if we can get a group in or around NYC to go in for a box. (Maybe have a Valiant meetup some weekend to distribute.)

[hawkeyeps]

Bugsy and nscc are in, it just got that much easier.

Beyonder and KXXX are kicking the tires

We can do this Bros and it will be epic!!

[Donovan]

Tires are indeed being kicked by yours truly. But I really need to think this over long and hard. I'm sure I'll do it, I just have to sleep on it...

[hawkeyeps]

We'll all do it and it will be the best thing ever, worst case scenario I have 300 of these and everybody else sucks

Don't make me feel like a crazy old hermit Bros!

[iwantvaliant]

I also will think it over tonight. It's a great oppurtunity. Bugsy, you live pretty close to me. Maybe we can work something out. I think I could do a third of a box.

I'm putting all my eggs in this basket. Hopefully at least another few NYers take advantage.

If shipping is to be combined I can easily work that out

I was a little worried about putting it out there but I know the peeps on this board and we'll make it happen, not a penny more than what it takes that's my promise to all who are in

And Greg if you could get me the number on shipping this monster to Canada it would be great.

First VEI Fan project ever, this is history in the making!

[hawkeyeps]

In just this short time here are the Homeys who are interested-

bugsysig
iwantvaliantcomics
kxxx
nonplayer
beyonder
grendeljd
nscc

With that list it's an 8 way split and it just keeps getting better, if Markrosehfx and Shadowtuga don't jump at this I'll be amazed

Even if it's just the 8 of us our commitment is now down to $37.50 + shipping for 37 books each.

I know nobody but me has commited yet but that's the way it's lookin' Bros and I'm pretty damn happy about it, pretty sure it will just get better

[IanAlexavier]

Im interested in grabbing some of these

[Donovan]

I can handle $37.50. If its under $40, I'm down!

Come on canuckleheads!
