[Groop] Online Comicbook ordering?

[Elie A. Harriett]

I use Things From Another World www.tfaw.com  They are good for small  
comic book orders.  I maybe get about a dozen comics a month, never  
more than that.  If you order comics in a larger bulk than that, you  
might want to check out Mile High Comics  www.milehighcomics.com or  
my old mail order supplier: Keith's Comics out of Dallas, TX.  They  
are at: www.keithsneatstuff.com   They used to be the best deal for  
me. You'll want the "At Your Service" comic subscription.  I used  
them up until 5 years ago when I had a salaried job and ordered more  
comics (when you switch to commission-based income, you tend to watch  
what you get more carefully).

The biggest thing for me is shipping costs, pre-order discount  
amount, and ease of use.  Check out those three.  They each have  
their own advantages.  And as long as you order enough and the  
shipping works to your advantage, you'll wind up saving more in the  
long run than at a local guy (but don't get me wrong, if I could have  
bought local I would have, I just either couldn't get those kinds of  
discounts, where I lived didn't have any stores, or as in the reason  
I first started going mail order: the proprietor was just plain not  
nice to deal with).

Good luck.
Elie
