Facebook Live Sale #6 on May the 4th CNJComics

So we will be reopening (with alot of measures in place) on Tuesday May 12th! This week I will compose an email with all the details on how we will do that while keeping you and us safe! We’ve been working like crazy to meet up with the Governor’s expectations and then some. The first new comic book week will be on Wednesday May 20th and Marvel states they will resume shipping on Wednesday May 27th (Just a little product each week until July.) Again, more to come on that. Oh yeah, we’re also open for non contact curbside now too! This Monday will be our 6th Facebook Live Sale from 6 pm to 7:30 pm EST. May the 4th be with You! It’ll be more late Silver / early Bronze Marvels (mostly early Bronze) and yes there will be some Star Wars in it! We’ve pretty much got the system down. Look for a gallery of the books on our Facebook Page early tomorrow, then when we go live claim the book after it is presented with the price...

Facebook Live Sale #5 at CNJComics 4-27-2020

Well, the Governor will be laying out his plans for reopening small businesses on Monday, so we’ll wait until his announcement before we make anymore statements on our plans. Suffice it to say that we are working hard to get the shop ready to reopen safely. (There’s a 8 x 4 sheet of Plexiglas waiting to go up on the counter that Winston keeps getting stuck behind. But for now, here the info on the next Facebook Live Sale: Monday, 4-27-2020 – 6 PM – 8 PM Late Silver/Early Bronze Marvels 50% Off Thanks to everyone for making these things such a success for us! Last week went off without a hitch and we sold 98% off the books live! The new system of adding the price to the books seems to be working well but we still had a few people upset about losing claims. All we can say is that everyone is beginning from the same starting point, and everyone’s Wifi connection is different. We had one customer report he was 30 seconds behind the feed on laptop,...

DC Facebook Live Sale 4-13-2020 with CNJComics

It’s another week shuttered up with CNJComics! Let’s see, where to begin.  We actually got an article in the Wall Street Journal this past Monday about our efforts to keep the boys employeed while we’re closed up. The Wall Street Journal man! Both online and in print! America! WALL STREET JOURNAL LINK! We also sent out a bunch of deliveries. Ben’s been busy bringing your comics to you through non contact delivery. Please continue to email us with your comic book needs. Free delivery within the county for orders over $20 and we ship anywhere too. You can also call us at 216-252-0606, either Ben or Jim is there most of the time. If no one answers go with email at info@cnjcomics.com To be clear: No one enters the store, no curbside pickup. We hope restrictions will lighten up on May 1st but who knows? In general, we’re doing fine. Everyone is keeping busy. I even put a Lego Comic Shop set together in my spare time. We are doing another Facebook Live Sale on Monday April 13th from 6pm...

Facebook Live Sale #2 on 4-6-2020

Facebook Live Sale #2 on 4-6-2020

Yup, there are no new comics, and there won’t be for a little bit. (Sort of for the best, as we’re shuttered till May 1st anyway) So, what else is going on? We hope you’re taking care of your self and staying safe. That’s the most important thing. If you’re okay, then let’s talk about the shop! Our first Facebook Live Sale was a success on many levels. We sold 90% of the books we listed by the end of the sale, which also included a gallery we posted on Facebook of the books remaining after the live sale. It also felt like hanging out in the shop on a Wednesday. The support from everyone was incredible, and with the sales we are able to keep Ben and Jim around full time with the medical they hopefully do not need for three more weeks. I said it before but it bares repeating, I will not take a salary out of the store until we open again to the public. So this week’s Facebook Live Sale is to pay the rent,...

Facebook Live Sale this Sunday FBO CNJStaff

Facebook Live Sale this Sunday FBO CNJStaff

First off, I’d like to give a big round of applause for Jim and Ben, who took orders, wrapped up and delivered over 80 packages in three days. “In a world quarantined by a global pandemic, one millennial, armed with only Purell and a strict non-contact protocol, will attempt to deliver 52 packages covering over 100 miles, spreading hope and comic books to Cuyahoga County. Stay put Cleveland, we’re coming to you. (While also not coming anywhere near you.)” Thanks to everyone who gave Ben a wave from a safe distance. Can you see yourself on the map? There are offically no new comics next week, or for the forseable future, but we are still taking orders for backstock and graphic novels, delivered free within in the county. Otherwise we can ship it out to you for a cost. Just send us your lists and we’ll see what we can dig out for you. We’re grateful for the sale! Email info@cnjcomics.com or just call us at 216-252-0606. (If you call and no one is there shoot us an email.) On...
