<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px"> Is Gemstone shipping very limited quantities to comic book stores<BR>
so there will be lots of reports of being "SOLD OUT!?" </BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
<BR>
Gemstone shipped whatever quantity the store ordered!<BR>
Your comic store had the choice of quantity to order and very likely only ordered one or two copies.<BR>
At $6.95 the store had to "Guess" how many they would sell.<BR>
With the number of new titles and old standards to order each month with NO returns for unsold comics, stores are not likely to order too many extra copies of comics especially at $6.95 each.<BR>
It is your job to tell the store: "Hey are you getting the new Disney comics? I will buy it when it comes in!"<BR>
Most stores also have a pull and hold service, ASK!<BR>
It makes it much easier for both you and the store.<BR>
