Thread is moving just a little slower than the Caribbean Queue at Our Wife's bedroom doorstep.
Null is the one with the problem here guys.
Reminder that Riley wanted $1000 for the gunt-off full footage.
One Thousand Dollars.
The problem is that Eric assumed that Nick was hoping to give him a reasonably fair hearing rather than set him up for gotchas to make him look bad.
Completely agree. Eric being some kind of AnCap variant simply assumed the best in people. He shouldn't have. AnCaps have this argument that 98% of people are genuinely good which makes the state unnecessary, it falls apart when crimes and degree of violence also follows such a Pareto-like distribution. Assuming Eric is an AnCap or ideologically adjacent (Minarchist etc), I suppose that was his mindset.
They have a nanny, so Balldo is not in their lives. For the better, actually. Kids don't need to learn of their father's testicular masochism fetish with some Chinese-invented Pear of Anguish for testis.
@Balldo's Gate can clarify, their nanny supposedly posted lewds on Discord/Locals chat. This happened during the stupid photoshoot and my autistic tripod faggotry.
July responded that he also donated remainder cash to the charity and is thus accounted for.
If you buy more than one the cost goes down to $13 per unit.
Let me get this straight and make it as clear as possible for Juju and Vito the pedo.
The comic ISOM#1 was $35. That was in my opinion far too much.
My guess is that's their first time doing this stuff so inexperience incurred massive bills. Fair, not that great but alright.
They are now selling it for $20 which is far more reasonable.

Here are the shipping options:

He is using UPS ground parcel post, instead of being the average vendor shoving a hundred paged book into a damn envelope using trash USPS.
UPS ground does start at around $5-$9 depending on shipping tiers. The more you ship or the higher membership, the better rates.
Now for 1-4 copies, shipping price stays the same. You can see the other ones going up, because
they are calculated differently.

UPS ground uses dimensions, if x fits in y sized box, the cost is the same. It probably costs the same to ship a feather and a brick using this method. Or for 1-4 books, the total mass does not exceed the volumetric weight.
It only goes up slightly for 10 copies. For 100, UPS ground costs $62.33.
So for one book, it's $29.7.
Four, we have 89.7/4=$22.425 each.
Ten, 211.10/10=$21.11
That said, there is a glitch in their system:

Shipping costs for 6 copies is lower than 5. I got it all the way up to 20 copies, the glitch is only at 5.
Then at 7, it becomes 9.92, a minor increase. This might be UPS doing something stupid, as they could just be integrating whatever UPS offers for calculations.
So here it is.

As expected, the costs follows a logarithmic function. It approaches $20 a copy as one purchases more books.
Eric isn't making money from shipping. Packing materials and labour isn't free, Juju, just because he's Black doesn't mean he'll do it for free.
I can fit a nice polynomial, like Romaine's good fit in Our Wife.
Eric claims raw cost of one comic is $17.5 inclusive of shipping, and it goes down significantly with batch shipping. Assuming shipping one book costs $9.7 materials included, this makes $7.8. His $35 initial asking price is a bit over the top but still within the realms of being "acceptable". He claims it equals out to around $13 a copy. We can use this difference and deduce that bulk shipping stagnates at $5.2 per book.
Does this sound unreasonable, to anyone?
Eric is making around $3-$4 per book for shipping, which accounts for labour and materials.
It takes the same effort to pack one book (most purchases ) and 10 books. This figure is not unreasonable unless you never had a real job and think free shipping is actually free, which Eric is well within his rights to incorporate shipping costs into the purchase and make shipping appear "free" for the drooling Amazon consoomers like Balldo and Juju.
Sure, he can lower the cost of one book by using USPS and ship it in an envelope. Guess what, USPS uses giant rollers to sort mail, which gives a 100% chance of damage to books within. How am I so certain? I called them up because I received a fold-out card (had led lights and all) all mangled and damaged. They told me it was due to sorting rollers and items like that aren't even allowed to be sent in envelopes.
When I first started working part time back in high school, the company I worked for would multiply shipping costs by 2.5, and they didn't even make anything. All they did was take in items from other suppliers are resell it at a very high margin.
It's called business, like it or not. Eric is a saint compared to them.
Juju is a balding unfunny hack. Vito is a vile paedophile. Balldo is a degenerate freak. Riley should just troon out and ack.
