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.

One thing I noticed and I'm not quite sure if it's new but if you go to their eBay store, NEW comics are priced at above cover price. Ridiculous. I like this store but stuff like this and their pricey shipping is making me reconsider things.

I think they do this because of the Ebay fee's. I have been buying from them for a long long time but always avoided their ebay store because of the price markup. This new pricing tool is disappointing to hear about but maybe if it's a new roll out it's a bug and needs to be reported (but in our current economy, I'm not sure it is tbh)
