New Auctions — Post from Sandra Tayler
Posted April 15th, 2008 by Sandra TaylerI was clearing out our storage area, trying to make the job of shipping Schlock Merchandise run more smoothly, and I found a hidden treasure. There was a stack of numbered sketch editions of The Blackness Between. I had held them against damaged or missing packages and then they got forgotten. It seems a shame to let these books gather dust when I know there are Schlock fans who would love to have them, so we’re offering them for auction. There are 9 books with sketches of Breya and 15 books with sketches of Ennesby. The starting price on all the books is $25.
If the price of the sketched books goes too high, you can always go to our store to buy a book. The books in our store will not be sketched, but they all have a shiny autograph on the cover. We also have a t-shirt and a poster.

You are trying really hard to make me buy another one aren’t you.
You are going to foil my plan of buying one of each when the next book comes out and having you do a sketch that spans the sketch pages of all four books.
You may even want to do a few yourself and then auction them off as a matched set.
Just a thought for when that eagerly awaited next book comes out. :D

Just a comment on today’s strip: I’ll take $5 on the elephant.

I don’t know. Betting against Tagon is usually a pretty bad bet.

MadMike: I’d go for Tagon — who signs the checks? :)

Thumbs, who needs thumbs when you have a dorothy system? :)
Come to think of it, imagine what neck down rebuild for that guy would cost. *shudder*

WEKM, I am starting to suspect they are attempting to get money from us…

I was wondering about that myself, but I still believe in their kind hearted benevolent notions. After all, he does let us see it all online for free, and as Petey says, “The information wanted to be free.”

But then again Howard’s subtitle in the forum is “Malevolent God of the Schlockiverse”
Still not sure how to look at that.

swj719, that’s how it works, you give customers something they want, they give you money. Happily.
I for one am happy that there’s a business here, because without it, I’d never get the quality I’m getting from someone who actually puts working hours into delivering a professional product. I can’t imagine it being anywhere as good if it was just a project for whatever spare time Howard could find beside his real job.

Interestingly enough, all the books currently in print contain content created before I quit the day-job. I won’t get to post-September 2004 content in books until sometime next year.
And that’s if I hurry.

hurry please Howard. You need more of my money
