Title: Request: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #699
Post by: SmallBlueThing on 05 January, 2013, 10:49:55 PM
Technically should be in the 'Help' section, i know, but please bear with me! If anyone is in comic shop and they have ASM #699 (NOT #699.1 with the Morbius cover) at a reasonable price (ie, not a tenner, or twenty quid! More like £2.20 as it should be, being a month old) could they PLEASE pick it up for me? I will pay cover price plus postage. I cannot believe the blatant profiteering going on online!

Thanks john- on second thoughts, if someone sees one, could they let me know so i can contact the shop? That way, i wont potentially have to buy nine or ten from helpful boarders!

Any help appreciated greatly!

Demand the library get it in and steal it from there!

Stealing it is what the internet is for.

But he wants a physical copy, unless he prints it out in the library ;)

Forbidden Planet has 699 in for £2.65 + £1.00 delivery (http://forbiddenplanet.com/93363-amazing-spider-man-699/)

Next cheapest online retailer I could find was £7.50 from wolfcomics (http://www.wolfcomics.com/amazing-spider-man-699-cover-a-1999-series-7189-p.asp).

Your wallet deserves such punishment for your continued loyalty to and financial support of Disney, SBT.

Hear hear (says the sado-marvelist).

As an aside;
Was in my LCS on Sunday...dont know if anyone else has noticed, but this storyline is doing crazy things to peoples minds.
They actually sold out of Amazing Spider-Man 698- 700, with HUGE demand for back issues.
Unheard of in recent times.

They under-ordered copies of 698 and 699 is all.  US print runs are pretty small these days so it's not hard to create demand if necessary.
