We just received a trade paperback order from Diamond.  Week after week we try to order trades that Marvel does not keep in print.  These are main line items, which should be available to retailers and their customers.  A great example is The Sentry trade, which is currently out of stock.  Can we all say House of M? 

Missed sales means lost profit.  On the average we miss enough each week to pay a week's salary or two month's power bill or a fourth of an insurance premium or one year's water bill.  These are only concerns for retailers.

Marvel should pay attention to the fact that the more trades we sell, the more profit we have to buy more trades!
