We've been through your justifications before, Euripides, and they're no better now than they were then.

You misuse coupons in ways they weren't intended to be used, thus basically stealing product and income from booksellers. You then inflate the price and sell the books to people who *actually* want to own them, but weren't lucky enough to know about the sale -- or simply weren't fast enough to snag an Omnibus because you bought them all. One could make a very compelling argument that every Omnibus YOU buy with your ill-gotten coupon codes is an Omnibus that a LEGITIMATE fan was PREVENTED from buying.

You do this repeatedly, ruthlessly and remorselessly, and don't seem to care one bit that you're ripping off BOTH the booksellers AND the fans. Then you run around posting pictures of your behavior as if you expect a pat on the back for your ingenuity.

That's a far cry from one of us saying "gosh, I enjoyed this TPB but I don't think I'll ever read it again; I'll put it on eBay for someone else to enjoy." Stop trying to compare the two -- it's night and day.
  
Agreed...it makes me wish retailers would limit the quantity of books that you can purchase (the ones with a small amount of copies printed)
No disrespect, but the whole "I'm going to buy limited print run books in large quantities to hoard and then 'flip' them later" bit all comes off as greedy and unethical.

On the subject of the Omnibus, I was also surprised by the way the spine is set up given its thickness, and I am interested in seeing how it holds up over time...does the Women of Marvel Omnibus have a similar spine?

Part of me wishes the colors were the originals, but there are some jaw dropping pages here that justify the recoloring (and having never read this run, I am surprised at how cohesive the run looks/feels...Sal's art is recognizably his in terms of layout and composition, but the linework allows it to sit comfortably with Simonson's issues)...I am also hoping that the expense and effort that went into the recoloring means that it will have multiple printings and a longer shelf life than the average omnibus.
