SPEAKING of things you can spend your hard earned money on, I got this feeling that on the NEXT Please Hold For Dave Sim, 5/5/2022, Dave's gonna announce Pieces of Turtles 8 #2 (or 8.2, depends who you ask...). Which might be subject to an INSANE short sale (as we learned in THIS month's Please Hold:)
But, we need to have that conversation BEFORE I fax him.
So, for the A/V challenged, Dave's thinking of selling POT8 #2 for TWO hours at CerebusDownloads.com. TWO.
The question to you: THE MONEY, how short is TOO short, and how long is TOO long?
Sound off like ya got a pair?
I do:

I would ask: what is the purpose is a short duration flash sale? Collectability? Why would Dave want to do that at the cost of market? He gets no gain from...Bill buying 10 for $100 and selling 8 for $25 each. I get the profit...
At short duration you miss audience and Dave loses cash.
1 week worked OK. Asking again...why make a change...?
two hours is too short. I will probably be unable to access it due to either being at work, driving to a Bs game, at a Bs game, etc. I need to be at home and awake during this time frame.
Plus if it is a time for people in the western hemisphere, that just puts fans in the other areas of the world at a disadvantage. . .
Please don't do a shorten time frame sale.
Regarding the 2 hour window, I see it like this.
First, don't announce when the 2 hour window will be and make everyone who wants it refresh every hour until they find it up (wow you got lucky and can buy some), annoy the crap out of your few customers.
Second, announce start time in advance, everyone who really wants it will be there except for the handful who will not be able to be there and so you're annoying the crap out the few who can't get it at that time, but also annoying the crap out of many more who know it's a totally unnecessary buying restriction.
If you want to make it shorter do days, not hours, that would make sense. Hours is just a dumb way to restrict the several dozen buyers to a few less and in a way that is likely annoying to most of the several dozen.
I’m ok with the short timeframe/window so long as there would be a good notice period (few days, a week);that way if it’s a clash with work I can line up a proxy, I half suspect it’d be in the middle of the night my time, I still remember the High Society Regency edition 2AM login - no complaints, I got the book I wanted!
The 2 hour window will be 3am-5am on a Tuesday.
Have your Visa ready.
No. Just, No.
I want to buy a thing and support an artist and their work.
I'm already willing to pay too much for a short zine in order to do just that, but I would prefer that the artist not spend his valuable time thinking up ways to keep me from doing just that.
