Discussion MyComicShop New Pricing Tool

Anyone get complete sticker shock today going onto the MyComicShop website and seeing literally ALL recent back issues in near mint condition uniformly go up to $10?!?! And very fine condition all go up to $8?!?! And so on.

Seriously. Go out and look. It’s their new pricing tool in full effect to fuck you over. If the issue is not the current issue of the series then the price automatically goes up to $10. Across the board. It is unbelievable. As soon as the newest issue hits then the one before it that was just selling for, say, $4.99 on their site is now $10.

If this isn’t a major fuckup on their part and is truly what they think the value of that comic now is, then I would hope all of you that use their site will send them an email letting them know what you think about their new pricing tool. I did.

I don't see that at all but I only went back to last week's which still show the reg cover price. I only looked at the first page though for that week.

I just dug through a few titles and yeah it's hit or miss. Some issues from two weeks ago are still sitting at cover price, others jumped to $10 and it doesn't seem tied to demand at all. Feels like the tool is just slapping a blanket hike on anything that isn't this week's #1 priority listing, which is a weird way to handle back issue pricing.

Go to any current series and look at all the issues before the most current. They’re all $10

Detective comics you have to go back about 5 issues for the price hike. Still not great though
