| Topolino n.3000, 22 maggio 2013, copertina di Andrea Freccero (immagine dal link) |
La fumettistica non è la mia specialità, ma da lettrice accanita di Topolino dagli 8 ai 13 anni circa della mia vita non potevo proprio farmi sfuggire la vicenda di questa settimana.
La notizia fu annunciata con anticipo e in pompa magna: il Topolino 3000 stava per uscire.
La reazione, prevedibilissima, fu immediata: sold out completo già nel primo giorno.
La reazione, prevedibilissima, fu immediata: sold out completo già nel primo giorno.
Il fatto non prevedibile, tuttavia (possibile soltanto nell'odierna era di Internet), è stata la comparsa in massa di innumerevoli copie acquistate e rivendute da collezionisti, edicolanti (?) e furbetti su ebay a caro prezzo. Addirittura a 70 euro.
Incredula, mi sono precipitata a verificare: aste impazzite - ancora in corso dopo tre giorni - e valutazioni abbastanza stabili, intorno ai 20 euro a copia. Immaginate un po' il giro di affari che potrebbe aver fatto un edicolante accorto e ben fornito!
Stamattina, infine, ho fatto un giro delle edicole per sentire un po' le opinioni dei venditori, i quali mi hanno risposto che molte copie esaurirono già nella mattinata di mercoledì. Molti di loro però, mi hanno pure confessato di aver ricevuto pochissime copie, addirittura una soltanto...
Azioni pilotate? Non lo sapremo mai...
Comics are not my field, but for I've red Topolino obsessively from about 8 to 13 years old of my life I just could not miss this week's "case".
The news was anticipated in advance and quite shouted: the n. 3000 of Topolino was coming out. The reaction, as we expected, was immediate: all sold out already in the morning of the first day.
However, the thing that wasn't expected (that happens only because we live in the Internet era) was that many collectors, newsagents (?) and clevers started to re-sell the copies on ebay for high prices. Even for 70 euros.
Quite curious, I immediatelly checked it out: crazy auctions - still going after three days - and prices fixed at about 20 euros for each copy.
To conclude, I went also to visit newsagent's shops and ask more about this event. Most of them told me that the copies went sold out already in the morning, but some of them confessed me also that they received a few copies, even only one...
So I asked myself: was it all controlled? We will never know...
