What did you get in your Hero Wiz charity comic sale?

Feb 20, 2011 12:21 AM

Hero Wiz has done a couple of charity sales of comic book grab bag packages like this one, to benefit Doctors Without Borders:

I got my order in the mail today and thought it would be fun those who ordered to compare notes as to what they got. In my package, I got the following:
Shadow Riders # 1 (June 1993, bagged and boarded)
411 #2 (July 2003, bagged and boarded)
The Spectacular Spider-Man #229 (October 1995, "Giant-Sized Extravaganza")
The Last Defenders #2 (June 2008)
Supergirl #23 (July 1998)
Warlock and the Infinity Watch #20 (September 1993)
Steel Annual #2 (September 1995)
The Power of Shazam #5 (July 1995)
JLA #18 (May 1998)
Superboy #58 (January 1999)

I have to say, I'm pretty impressed. I got some cool comics and the money went to a good cause. I'd do this deal again in a heartbeat.

So if you ordered, what did you get?

Hey Wingnut, Glad you enjoyed your comics! I was running through issues that I had multiple copies of so a lot of people got similar items, I did try to add a few different books into each lot so not everyone got exactly the same thing, But I think everyone got a JLA, Superboy, Warlock and Steel.

Unfortunately, the USPS doesn't consider Comics media mail so if we did do this again it would need to ship priority mail and I'm not sure if people would be willing to spend the difference. We would need to collect a total of $6.49 to be able to make sure we can send the non-profit the proceeds and cover the shipping supplies and priority postage. (though you would get the books faster) we just can't do it cheaper then this.

I would be very interested in hearing from everyone if they think this is a reasonable cost for a good cause. Otherwise it just doesn't make sense to do again.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
