Today while fishing, I read an article about how Comic Book store are complaining about the fact that they cannot sell new comics. Now that most stores are classified as "non-essential" they may not be able to actually be open to the public. This brothers me and not in the way you may think. A great business man once told that Comic Book stores are like gas stations (yeah he own both). Gas station make very little on gas, they make there money on what is sold inside the stores. Comic Book stores do not make that much on new comics or items, they make there profit on back issues, older action figures and other collectables.
That being said there are way to many stores that do not have there inventory listed online. I have seen way too many store go down because the refused to go the way of the internet listing. By this day you should have your own website with your inventory listed online along with it listed on Ebay and/or Amazon or even Etsy or even iOffer. With all the comic book movies and tv series out; this is the golden age to sell collectables. Since more shoppers are being forced to order items online, you should have your inventory out there. Go back through your inventory, readjust your prices, offer up bundles you have world at your finger tips.
Right now not everybody is hurting financially, but with the quarantine most people cannot physical go shopping. This is truly the season of internet shopping and with the schools closed, parents are looking for anything to keep there kids busy.
I know that there are lots of people out there who are without a job and I do feel sorry for them, even my boyfriend was laid-off. Around here there are many people who are still going to work everyday like nothing happened but it is harder to spend that money since most stores are forced into being closed. Hence the internet is one of the few places to shop.
