Comics Series Subscription

[Takeoshi Totoro]

Well I was thinking that maybe you could subscribe to peoples comics. This is where whenever a new comic from that person comes out it is immediately sent to you. This could be good if maybe you were going on holiday for a few weeks and you wanted to get their comics to read from when you were away.

Plus it helps me get the sad collector role who keeps comics plastic cased and buys every single one in the hope that one day they rise in value so he can earn tons of money

Good idea?

Hahaha. great idea, Take.

Nice idea. Maybe for the subscription, you could buy an amount of new comics you wish to buy with a certain amount of money (e.g. 10 new comics for 50 credits + an extra 5% for suscribing). This is so that it doesn't carry on until you are bankrupt.

Another feature which I thought is trading comics with other people.

Yeah, that would be cool:

"I'll trade your ABTC#5 for my BTCS#11"

"Naw, ABTC#5 is a classic, I would accept BTCS#7 though"

I would lol.

Yeah, you would choose how long you would want the subscription for, maybe for the amount of time you will be away. For me it would be all the time so I don't have to wait outside the cold Kiosk every week waiting for a new comic. I could just wake up and read =3.

Subscriptions should cost less.
So, 10 comics for 40 credz.
Nice deal eh?

You also may be on to something with that plastic wrap...

Yea like Subscribing will save ya a buck or two, i like this alot! and trading would be hilarious

[Takeoshi Totoro]

Eh, I think it should cost more. You are getting it delievered to you as soon as it comes out, for an extra credit maybe. Think about it, if you were away and couldn't get the comics any other way, then you wouldn't mind paying extra to get it, right?

[Grizzly Simpson]

Sadly most things aren't free delivery.

Subscriptions usually cost less in the real world because the seller won't have to ship the comics to the store and hope that people will buy them and sometimes they won't sell all the items. With a subscription the seller is guaranteed that he will always get certain mount of money from you.

I'd say 45 credits for 10 comics and 80 for 20 comics. If you sell a comic you get 4 credits and the subscription shouldn't be so cheap that you can gain money by subscribing and then selling comics.

The comics should be delivered at your house (No house, no subscription).
Some kind of mailbox system would be nice. A button on the map with the text 'Mail' where you can receive comics, free items (If Ioji ever decides to give out these), award money and maybe send short messages to other people which will show up in their mailboxes.

Mailbox would be cool, if you could send stuff to each other, but that's a whole other story. I think you should have to go to the kiosk to pick up your subscription. The guy would say something like "I've been holding these for you."

Mr Simpson's pricing is good.
