If you look at Wizard's auctions on the day the book came out, most of them were 10 and 25 issue lots. They were either all Buy It Now type auctions or they were one-day auctions. I don't think it was readers buying the multiple lots. I think it was comic shops. The shop you went to might have sold the issues to their regular customers at cover price. I don't have Captain America on my pull list, but my shop owner still put a copy in my stack. Maybe the funnybook shop selling them for $10 a pop got their issues from Wizard Universe.

I went to a funnybook shop on Saturday, and they were selling the same issue for $10. It wasn't even a week old. That's so unethical. I hate it when comic shops do that shit. Instead of the average comic reader buying it, this shop is catering to some asshole who wanders in because he saw a report on CNN. This shop probably pissed off a regular customer for an extra seven bucks. So much for loyalty to your customers. Yet another reason to utilize DCBS.
