Supply & Demand....if resellers are buying and flipping for 5x as much to settle demand for it, why wouldn't Aspen print more to satisfy the demand and make the additional profit?

 

Pretty much dead on accurate. It would not surprise me if Aspen has sat back and watched their first two Turner variants (Batman and Spider-Man) sell out fast and have some people reselling for a lot more on eBay, something I don't frown upon but also can understand the other side's argument about advertising books as a certain condition before they have them. I believe I read somewhere Aspen was going to have an allotment of the Justice League #1 variant at SDCC, and while they have said the print run has increased, it would not surprise me if the color cover will have 5000 made, and the sketch cover have 3000 made. Increasing the print run and limiting the books per customer will at the same time make it so more collectors/fans can have them in their collection but also should see the prices not spike so high. In many ways everyone wins, more fans get it, and Aspen sees more revenue. I am just curious if some of the proceeds are going to Turner's family, I have not really been following these variants but hopefully the Turner family is seeing some of this money.

 

If they really wanted to make money, they'd have a really high print run and not advertise it....then put no restrictions on the amount you could purchase. Would probably only work once, but you'd make a lot of money off resellers at that time.

Search for it on their search box, it's the top result. I'm not sure why that link doesn't work since it's the page the result takes you to.

 

It's because the artist edition is sold out. :(

 

Here's my secret-- as pandahouse mentioned, it's in the search results. Before it went up, I searched "Justice League" up top in the search box, and refreshed that in tandem with the home page. When the product went up, I couldn't see it on the home page, but it came up on the search results page.
