Just got an email from 2NC. On sale until the 16th (does this mean they're open on Easter?)

Kinda off topic but has Second and Charles started raising prices everywhere? Just got back from mine and all of their prices went up and they also didn't honor this deal for some reason.

Prices have always been ridiculously high for everything at the one near me (except a few of the used books). Were prices raised across the board or just on a few things? Because I know a lot of their prices are based on supply and demand.

What I mainly noticed were comics and collectibles. Pops went up from 8.99 to 10.99 or 11.99 and they had a star lord chase but they had it marked at 49.99. Ive only ever seen one chase there and it was regularly priced but other collectors in my area have said they get chases in regularly and always sell them for the regular price

Hmm. I'll have to stop in and check the store near me soon. I know I lucked out and got a chase regular price one time (an employee didn't know to mark it up higher), but near me they've always priced them up. Last time I was in there (around three or four months ago?) the pops were starting at 9.99 and going up to 12.99 for "regular" or store exclusive figures. Chases or trade ins of exclusives were usually marked even higher.

I've also noticed their comic prices shooting way up over the last year. They have a lot of exclusive and variant covers, and prices have increased from 25% to 200% more on stuff they get in weekly (ex: their own exclusives used to be $6, but now range from $8 to $20).

I think in my area, they are over ordering, and over charging. Then they end up with a lot of stuff they push back to the stockroom, since it's not selling, or have to clearance it out.

I've never seen a chase that wasn't marked up at my store. Granted, I've only seen two chases there and I bought one of them....Stimpy, $35. The other is still there as of this past weekend....Heffalump, $40 (yikes!!!)

Mystery minis are $8 which isn't bad compared to GameStop's $7 but it is compared to Walmart's $6 (that extra $2 has kept me from buying all the S:1 Marvel minis that are gathering dust at 2NC.

Maybe I just haven't noticed before with the prices and just thought they skyrocketed. I know they went up a few dollars for sure but just seems like everything else has too. I only go in once or twice a month but I know my store didn't take the mystery mini deal
