Most of us are just cover collectors any more.

And, some of us just like to look at the covers through two (and sometimes three) layers of shiny plastic.

I’ve been saying the comic book readers have all but died off on the boards for the last couple years.  Good to see actual data from someone who has been selling for years.  But if you check out completed ebay sales over the last 6 months or so (or at least a sampling) you will see the lack of collector type book sales.  It’s all keys and hot book of the week sales.

Could be the format. People seem to like pictures, description and price in the same place.

Could be.  As a test you should post up some hot keys at half off without pictures and see if books sell. :kidaround:
