You will know when I know

[JCP]

Still taking preorders?

At this time, I am just waiting for Bad Idea to tell me what I will get, how many and other rules. The way things are distributed, right now, I don't have a confidence that I will get what I ordered. And while I appreciate the "out of the box" marketing to make awareness of the brand high among certain groups of customers (speculators, mostly) I run a business that is not focused on speculation, and I don't have time to play a bunch of games and riddles. Once I know what's legitimately available and guaranteed I will communicate here if I can offer it to the group.

The whole Button thing is fun, and is good marketing, but unfortunately, I have 3 stores to run, and actually manage one of the locations because my manager quit in the middle of COVID, so I have stayed away from the games, and will support the new publisher once they actually have publishing plans and expectations of product i can sell.

First, please accept my respect for making this call.

This is why I get very picky about where I tie my money up in pre-orders when it could be sitting in high yield savings until the last minute instead. It's also why I didn't pull the trigger on your offer yet - no product in hand at all, no volume guarantee and worst of all even if issue 1 showed up today that's still at least four months of those funds being held elsewhere. So thank you for that, brother.

With that said, please post here when you can guarantee the details and I'll most likely be in as well.

[paradise]

Oh, of course I will.

Also, I have FULL CONFIDENCE that in the next couple of weeks we'll have the info from Dinesh & Co. about the release dates for Eniac, and I will be given the opportunity to place my order. Once I know the amount I am locked in, I will form a strategy and we'll go forward with pre-orders and all that.

I also hope NOBODY here reads my posts as anything but completely untamed EXCITEMENT about the books and the publisher. I have seen a LOT of preview art, know some plots and you all will be VERY impressed and happy that you order the books. They will be KILLER!

[mrwoogieman]

Now I hear they are allocating issue 1 of Eniac?? Ed, are our pre-orders safe from this ??

[paradise]

I will let everyone know if there are issues.

[possumgrease]

I will let everyone know if there are issues.

I hope we get at least four of them.

[mrwoogieman]

How'd we do on this?

[paradise]

? If you pre-ordered from us and paid for it, you will get your books.

I did that!

[battlepark]

I wonder how many wish they would have taken Ed's deal now?

Who got your golden button Ed?

What is the deal with the Bad Idea pin or Button? What is the character or logo? I have not seen them. But, I did get my pre-order in with Ed. Thanks Ed for doing the set pre-orders!

[paradise]

To everyone here who bought the bad idea pre-order with us (we will be contacting you individually also, but this is a public post) and everyone else here:

You can get all other Bad Idea books from us, BUT because it's a lot of handling for only 2 books per month, and in hopes that you buy more books from us (non-bad idea) here is what we are offering, and (unless you are local) this will be the only way we will mail order these going forward:

Set up a pull list with us, using our online subscription service. You will receive 10% off, free bags/boards, and EXACT shipping (we don't make money on our customers through inflated shipping prices). We will ship your books monthly or quarterly, or when you tell us to, but we'll charge your books monthly on a credit card you put on file with us, form available here: (https://comicsandcards.net/ccagreement.html). Keep in mind, since it's only 2 BAD IDEA books a month, shipping monthly is going to be more expensive than the books on some months. But that's up to you and worth it if you collect other books and decide (hopefully) to give us the business. If you sign up with us for "All Bad Idea" you will get priority and will be guaranteed first prints on all new Bad Idea books going forward (Eniac #1 is not available for 1st print for #1 issue, but #2 and up no problem).

If you decide to do this, you will send us the cc agreement form mentioned above. Once we receive it, we will set up your account in the system, and email you with an intro email with a link, to set up your password and log into the account. It's pretty easy to use and if you just want "All Bad Idea" it's not necessary, we'll auto-populate that for you, but if you want other books I highly recommend it. PM me for any questions and with your filled out forms. You can scan and email the forms to store@comicsandcards.net, too, or PM me here.

[paradise]
