Facebook

Posted on March 8th, 2008 in Rant by colin

I used to detest Facebook for all its nonsensical time-wasting spamlets that junk up my inbox. And now I’m advocating it. I won’t send out invitations to all of you, but you can invite me to your Facebook. My Facebook email is colin@atomixcomix.com. And if I don’t know you from Adam, just include a blurb like Comic Shop Customer or something. Sorry, I’m quite new to this.

Transfer is Complete

Posted on March 7th, 2008 in Shop Events by colin

I’ve transferred all your reservation and pull lists to Bernard from G and B Comics at #03-47 Bras Basah Complex, tel: 6837 2280. You can also email him. Bernard’s handphone number is 9025 2922, and I’ve assured him that you customers won’t be calling him after hours. G and B’s website is comic.com.sg

Speaking of which, this website, comicbooks.sg will remain, as well as your subscription to the atomics comics mailing list, unless you wish to unsubscribe. I’m not sure what the future holds for me, but you’ll be sure to hear about it here on this same blog.

Closing

Posted on March 6th, 2008 in Shop Events by colin

Hi,

The better half of my day today I spent calling all the customers who had pull/reservation lists with me. It’s already the end of the day, and I’ve only touched on 20% of the lot of you.

I will be closing this business. Like one long-time customer quipped, I’ll be ending a chapter that took 14 years writing. Although I like this new place I moved into, I wasn’t getting the sort of walk-in business I was getting used to in Orchard MRT. So, this is a good time as any to end this business and look for another career to go into.

As for your reservation lists, I have already negotiated the terms with Bernard from G & B Comics at Bras Basah Complex, and he is agreeable to offering you all the same rates I offered you. IF YOU ARE AGREEABLE TO MOVING YOUR RESERVATION LIST TO G & B COMICS, PLEASE EMAIL ME AS I HAVE TO NOTIFY BERNARD OF THE DETAILS.

My last shipment was last week. So, effective this week, you should be going to G & B for your comics. I hope the transition will be smooth. For those of you who have not picked up your books yet, you can come by and collect the remaining stash from me before end of March. Hopefully, I can get another tenant to take over this lease. Everything in this shop is up for sale, so you want anything, I’m sure I’ll be able to give you a good price.

I thank all of you for your support over the years. I enjoyed your patronage, and as one customer also said, for being his “steady supply of sanity.” I hope you will leave your comments here.
