'Bad Idea' question

Post by Nameless7 »

Forgive me if this is not the right place to ask.

I understand that Eniac has "second print" for for its issues. I was told that if I got a 1st printing that I could not get a second printing of the same issue? is this correct?

Thanks

Hmm, I believe there was a "rule" for 1 copy per customer only when it comes to the FIRST PRINTING but anyone could then order as many copies as they liked of the NON-FIRST PRINTING (~ SECOND PRINTING). And 2nd wave partner stores were told they'd only get 5 copies of the FIRST PRINTING anyway. Which is funny (NOT!) because I was initially all-in through a 1st wave store in Ireland, but then I switched to a 2nd wave store in Germany with the result that I didn't get a FIRST PRINTING....although my initial order most likely counted towards the total copies of FIRST PRINTINGS that #BadIdea ordered from the printer.

If what you are being told is true it would certainly be a new rule.

It wouldn't make sense though. You could simply ask friends & family to buy a copy of a NON-FIRST PRINTING for you.

I was quite excited when Bad Idea was first announced but I have not read anything yet and have for the time being given up. I am sure it is a high quality product but too many hoops to go through to get, especially if one does not live in the USA. If I really wanted to put the time and effort in I am sure I could find some on line and pay scalper prices but that seems like too much work to do every month just to get the regular floppies.

No this is not correct. Send a tweet to Bad Idea along with the store who told you that and they will clear up any misunderstanding :thumb:

Sounds great!

Sadly I don't do tweeter. Is there not somewhere, approved by Bad Idea, that contains all these rules? I wish Dino would have a post saying "This is what you can/cannot do regarding 'Bad Idea' books.

There is so much confusion that apparently this comic shop I asked is not sure what all the rules are.

Cheers!
